You probably have heard or read about the current issues with chips and their vulnerability.

A fundamental design flaw in Intel’s processor chips has forced a significant redesign of the Linux and Windows kernels to defang the chip-level security bug.

CVE-2017-5754 (Meltdown) and CVE-2017-5715 (Spectre)  are two nasty exploits and you might want to check your systems if they are patched.

Luckily the Microsoft Security Response Center has released a PowerShell module named SpeculationControl which can be installed from the PowerShell Gallery.

Install-Module -Name SpeculationControl -Force

Get-SpeculationControlSettings
