Abstract
An information handling system may include a management controller configured to provide out-of-band management of the information handling system, and a network interface controller comprising a network interface controller storage resource. The management controller may be configured to: receive an update bundle cryptographically signed by a manufacturer of the information handling system, wherein the update bundle includes at least one signature associated with a network interface controller operating system (OS) configured to be executed by the network interface controller; and transmit the at least one signature to the network interface controller. The network interface controller may be configured to install the network interface controller OS to the network interface controller storage resource based on the at least one signature.
