Bios maker Phoenix has launched a security software utility that allows network administrators to authenticate hardware devices.
The Phoenix Bios, which comes installed in around 100 million PCs every year, is activated as soon as a computer is switched on and before the operating system kicks in. The Bios's job is to ensure that all the computer's hardware components -- such as the hard disk drive, memory and keyboard -- are installed and working correctly.
