Upon organizational directives to heighten hardware security for workstations that handle extremely confidential data, an IT security technician is configuring options on the new enterprise machines. Which BIOS/UEFI-enabled element must be activated to directly facilitate a hardware root of trust and offering capabilities like secure key generation and storage?
Configuration of advanced Boot options for security layering
Setup of MultiThreading to improve secure processing capabilities
Enablement of Virtualization support to enhance data protection mechanisms
Activation of TPM to utilize specialized cryptographic functions
Activating the TPM (Trusted Platform Module) within the BIOS/UEFI settings establishes a hardware root of trust, handling tasks like secure cryptographic key generation and storage essential for protecting highly sensitive data. Enabling features such as Virtualization support and configuring Boot options help provide data protection and system robustness but they aren't explicitly designed to deliver secure hardware-based key storage and management like TPM.
