1. A system for collection of validated telemetry by an Information Handling System (IHS), the system comprising:
a policy decision point of a zero-trust computing environment that controls access to a plurality of protected resources, wherein the policy decision point is configured to:
identify telemetry streams of the IHS to be validated;
identify a telemetry definition specifying telemetry being collected by the IHS;
update the telemetry definition to specify adjustments to telemetry streams of the IHS to be authenticated;
transmit the updated telemetry definition to the IHS; and
the IHS comprising a plurality of sensors, one or more processors, and
a memory coupled to the processors, the memory storing program instructions that, upon execution by the processors, cause the IHS to:
identify telemetry that is ready for transmission by the IHS;
based on the updated telemetry definition received from the policy decision point, generate a digital signature that authenticates the telemetry that is ready for transmission; and
transmit the authenticated telemetry to one or more destinations specified in the updated telemetry definition.
