Securing Your Linux Boot Process: An Insider's Guide to Secure Boot

Boot security has become an increasingly important topic in recent years as threats against system integrity continue to evolve. Secure Boot is a security standard developed to provide protection against such threats by validating the integrity of boot software. With Secure Boot, security is enforceable during the boot process rather than relying solely on the operating system. This helps prevent malicious software from embedding itself early in the boot process, providing an additional layer of defense against low-level attacks.
