The invention discloses a computer anti-loss method protected by
firmware, and relates to the technical field of
computer security and data protection. The method comprises the following steps of: checking the existence, the integrity and the reliability of an
operating system security protection module stored at a specified position of a computer storage medium by a computer
firmware guard module, starting the
operating system security protection module when the checking is passed, and starting the
operating system security protection module after the
operating system security protection module is started. According to the method, the computer
risk control management system is requested to return the
risk control strategy for preventing the loss of the computer, and the returned
risk control strategy is executed, so that the execution and protection of the risk control strategy are not limited to an operating
system layer, but sink to computer
firmware, and the risk control strategy is protected. According to the technical scheme, the risk control strategy can still be executed under the limit condition that the computer hard disk is replaced or the operating
system is formatted, and locking or data erasing can be performed after the computer is lost, so that the application scene and the universality can be expanded, and the practical application and popularization are facilitated.
