Several known vulnerabilities affect BIOS (Reference URLs below). So my question is, are the Vulnerability Management tools (such as Nessus, NeXpose, Qualys, etc) technically capable of highlighting BIOS and driver-level vulnerabilities? Is this something that can be detected for example via an authenticated Windows scan?
