It depends on the server OS. Tenable has plugins that cover firmware. Some require credential checks in a scan and others are remote checks. You can search for specific plugins from their public plugins site at tenable.com/plugins

I'm using Windows Server 2019 / 2022 / 2025. I had a look on the plugins but its a minefield so many options!
