Abstract
Techniques are provided for hardware system protection using verification of hardware digital identity values. One method comprises obtaining a first hardware digital identity value for a hardware system, wherein the first hardware digital identity value aggregates hardware identifiers of a plurality of hardware components in the hardware system at a first time; comparing a second hardware digital identity value to the first hardware digital identity value, wherein the second hardware digital identity value aggregates hardware identifiers of the hardware components in the hardware system at a second time subsequent to the first time; and performing an automated remedial action based on a result of the comparison. The comparison may be performed: (i) when the hardware system attempts to connect to at least one service over a network, and/or (ii) when the hardware system is installed, configured and/or activated at a remote location.
