Abstract
An Information Handling System (IHS) includes multiple hardware devices, and a baseboard Management Controller (BMC) in communication with the plurality of hardware devices. The BMC includes executable instructions for monitoring the operating characteristics a hardware device that is operating in a fixed pass-through configuration with a workspace in which the workspace has been instantiated by a workspace orchestration service executed on the IHS. The executable instructions may determine that the operating characteristics are indicative of a security breach of the fixed pass-through configuration, and as such, may perform an operation to quarantine the one hardware device when the fixed pass-through configuration is determined to possess the security breach.
