Bitlocker SSD Vulnerability

Bitlocker SSD Vulnerability

Hey all this is a super short and easy blogpost. Recently we saw some chatter online about a bitlocker ssd vulnerability. You can read about it here. Many environments will have concerns about how you can identify these systems, and how to report on this topic for management.  At my customers site we leverage the Compliance item created by my PFE @Brandon Linton. This compliance Item is useful for inventorying bit-locker status and inventorying hard drive media type. You can read about the compliance item on his blog.

in my SQL query / SSRS I’m reporting on more than just the bitlocker issue, but also a few other security features. I kind of like to always be able to see what is encrypted vs not, what is UEFI vs BIOS, Secureboot vs not, etc.

I believe there is a CU that is coming out to remediate a few things. So this may be obsolete soon.
