Ngesikhathi sokuhlaselwa kwezinhlelo zolwazi ze-MSI, abahlaseli bakwazile ukulanda ngaphezu kwe-500 GB yedatha yangaphakathi yenkampani, equkethe, phakathi kwezinye izinto, amakhodi omthombo we-firmware namathuluzi ahlobene wokuwahlanganisa. Abaphehli balokhu kuhlasela bafuna u-$4 million ukuze bangadalulwa, kodwa i-MSI yenqaba futhi idatha ethile yashicilelwa esizindeni somphakathi.
Phakathi kwedatha eshicilelwe kwakukhona okhiye bangasese abavela ku-Intel abadluliselwe kuma-OEMs, asetshenziselwa ukusayina i-firmware ekhishwe ngedijithali kanye nokuqinisekisa ukubhuthwa okuphephile kusetshenziswa ubuchwepheshe be-Intel Boot Guard. Ukuba khona kokhiye bokuqinisekisa i-firmware kwenza kube nokwenzeka ukukhiqiza amasiginesha edijithali alungile e-firmware eqanjiwe noma eguquliwe. Okhiye be-Boot Guard bakuvumela ukuthi udlule indlela yokwethula izingxenye eziqinisekisiwe kuphela esigabeni sokuqala sokuqalisa, ezingasetshenziswa, ngokwesibonelo, ukufaka engcupheni indlela yokuqalisa eqinisekisiwe ye-UEFI Secure Boot.
Okhiye bokuqinisekisa i-Firmware bathinta okungenani imikhiqizo engu-57 ye-MSI, futhi okhiye be-Boot Guard bathinta imikhiqizo engu-166 ye-MSI. Kucatshangwa ukuthi okhiye be-Boot Guard abakhawulelwe ekufakeni engcupheni imikhiqizo ye-MSI futhi bangasetshenziswa futhi ukuhlasela imishini evela kwabanye abakhiqizi kusetshenziswa ama-Intel processors esizukulwane se-11, se-12 nese-13 (ngokwesibonelo, amabhodi e-Intel, Lenovo kanye ne-Supermicro ashiwo). Ngaphezu kwalokho, okhiye abaveziwe bangasetshenziswa ukuhlasela ezinye izindlela zokuqinisekisa ezisebenzisa isilawuli se-Intel CSME (Converged Security and Management Engine), njenge-OEM unlock, i-firmware ye-ISH (Integrated Sensor Hub) kanye ne-SMIP (Iphrofayili Yesithombe Esiyingcweti Esayiniwe).
