Claim 0:
1. A security module comprising:
an interface configured to connect to a bus system of a host device;
a processor; and
a non-transitory media readable by the processor, the media storing instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to:
capture diagnostic data transmitted through the bus system of the host device when diagnostic tests are executed by the host device during a Power-on-Reset (POR) cycle of the host device;
identify, from the captured diagnostic data, hardware components associated with the host device that were initially unknown to the security module and retrieve databases associated with each of the identified hardware components;
acquire data from the bus system that is associated with a first identified hardware component; and
determine, based on the acquired data and based on a retrieved database associated with the first identified hardware component, if a security violation is occurring at the first identified hardware component.
