Hardware-backed security does which of the following? (select all that apply)

Hardware-backed security leverages dedicated hardware components, like a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) or a Secure Element (SE), to enhance device protection. It mitigates exploitation by isolating sensitive operations and data from the main operating system, making it harder for attackers to compromise. It prevents brute force attacks by enforcing rate limits and secure storage for authentication credentials, often with irreversible lockout mechanisms. It protects the boot process through verified boot, ensuring that only trusted software loads from startup, preventing rootkits and other persistent malware. Finally, it keeps data safe from physical attacks by encrypting data with keys stored and managed within the secure hardware, making data unreadable even if the storage is physically removed.
