Abstract
A system is disclosed for enhancing detection of a security threat to a managed infrastructure device operating within a data center. The system may have a data center infrastructure management (DCIM) system for monitoring operation of the managed infrastructure device. The DCIM system may include a remote access appliance for communicating with the managed infrastructure device. The managed infrastructure device may include an on-board computer. The remote access appliance may include an engine configured to detect if information to be communicated to the on-board computer poses a security threat to the managed infrastructure device.
