Zusammenfassung:An untrusted orchestrator function subsystem inventory and verification system includes an untrusted orchestrator device, an operating system, a BIOS, and a management device. In response to presentation by the untrusted orchestrator device of a function subsystem to the operating system during runtime, the operating system generates a function subsystem detection alert that identifies the function subsystem. In response to the function subsystem detection alert, the BIOS generates and transmits a BIOS inventory update. The management device receives the BIOS inventory update, and determines whether the operating system is authorized to use the function subsystem at least in part based on the BIOS inventory update. If so, the management device allows the operating system to utilize the function subsystem while, if not, the management device prevents the operating system from utilizing the function subsystem.
