Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A system, method, and computer program product are provided for mounting an image of a computer system in a pre-boot environment for validating the computer system. An image of an operating system is mounted in a pre-boot environment of the programmable device. An untrusted component of the operating system is identified that is registered to be automatically loaded or loaded during a boot-up stage of the operating system that is predetermined to be early. The untrusted component is rescheduled to be initiated after loading of at least a portion of a security system on the programmable device.
