Bare Metal Security

Definitions

1. Security controls and considerations for systems running directly on physical hardware rather than in virtualized multi-tenant environments. Bare metal security often emphasizes firmware integrity, physical access control, and hardware-rooted trust.

   In plain English: Security focused on systems running directly on physical hardware.

   Example: "The high-sensitivity workload required bare metal security controls instead of shared cloud instances."
