    Abstract: A method for monitoring control-flow integrity in a low-level execution environment, the method comprising receiving, at a monitor, a message from the execution environment indicating that the execution environment has entered a controlled mode of operation, receiving, at the monitor, a data packet representing execution of a selected portion of a control-flow process at the execution environment, identifying, using the data packet, a pathway corresponding to the selected portion of the control-flow process from a set of permissible control-flow pathways and determining whether the identified pathway corresponds to an expected control-flow behaviour.

    Abstract: A method for monitoring access to a user account comprises receiving a user account login status from a target service in response to a user login request, comparing the user account login status with an expected status value at a user apparatus, and on the basis of the comparison, performing at least one of: synchronising the status value at the user apparatus with the user account login status from the target service, and executing a user login update process at the user apparatus.

    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a data processing apparatus. The data processing apparatus may comprise a memory storing a candidate service level response to an intrusion to an operating system having a plurality of operating system services. The data processing apparatus may comprise processing circuitry coupled to the memory. The data processing apparatus may comprise an output coupled to the processing circuitry. It may be that the processing circuitry is to, depending on an alert indicative of the intrusion: select from the memory, for an operating system service of the said plurality of operating systems, the said operating system service being related to the alert, the candidate service level response to the intrusion; and provide a signal to the output depending on the candidate service level response selected in respect of the said operating system service.

    Abstract: Examples associated with basic input/output system (BiOS) security are described. One example includes detecting a mismatch between an active BiOS setting and a saved BIOS setting. An update previously applied to the active BiOS setting is validated. The update Is applied to the saved BIOS setting creating an updated BIOS setting. The saved BIOS setting is updated when the updated BIOS setting and the active BIOS setting match. The saved BIOS setting is updated to the active BIOS setting. A security action is taken when the updated BiOS setting and the active BiOS setting differ.
