Abstract
Techniques are provided for hardware device integrity validation using platform configuration values. One method comprises obtaining platform configuration values associated with software of a hardware device; comparing the obtained platform configuration values for the hardware device to one or more platform configuration values stored in a platform configuration table; and performing one or more automated remedial actions (e.g., initiating a reboot of the hardware device) based on a result of the comparison. The platform configuration values for the hardware device may be obtained from a local platform configuration value table of the hardware device. The platform configuration values for the hardware device may be obtained by an integrity validation monitor associated with the hardware device, and the integrity validation monitor may send the obtained platform configuration values for the hardware device to an integrity validation server that securely stores the platform configuration table and performs the comparison.
