Summary:The attachment of a pluggable hardware module to a server via a slot on an enclosure of the server is detected. In response to determining, using metadata stored at the server, that the module is in a group of approved modules, a first security artifact is obtained from the module. In response to validating the first security artifact using a second security artifact which is part of the metadata, a program running within a virtual machine launched at the server is enabled to access application data of an application from the module.
