How Intel vPro Offers Enterprise Data Protection

3 min read

The Intel vPro platform is specially designed for businesses by offering business-class performances. This provides a more secure foundation and modern manageability for IT with reliable and stable platforms. With the help of  Intel core vPro processors, companies can achieve  a technological edge over their competitors in a constantly evolving business environment.  vPro is hard to beat in   business computing environments.

Let's look at how:

Enhanced security:
vPro technologies and methodologies are specially designed into  PC's chipset and other systems hardware. While deploying vPro processors, security credentials, keys and additional critical information are smoothly stored in protected memory. It ensures security through multi-factor authentication, full disk encryption, and remote secure erase.

How does it take place:

Silicon acceleration:
It is basically for specific security workloads. With the help of Accelerated Memory Scanning(AMS) technology, you can scan for onboarded and offboarded malware.

This technology improves the memory-scanning efficiency of the device while lowering the overhead performance costs. A threat-detection feature is likely to be expanded soon to enable offloading capabilities for security-related programs.

Exploit Detection:
It combines artificial intelligence with hardware telemetry to detect unique behaviour. This capability offers you a highly-effective, low-overhead tool to the arsenal of security providers or signature databases.

Intel Active Management Technology:
Intel Active Management Technology Security manages corporate assets like client platforms. It reduces the barriers to efficiency and security by allowing IT teams to discover better, repair and protect these assets. Intel AMT establishes a secure connection between IT and Intel vPro-enabled PCs. With the help of features like KVM control and remote power technology, you can smoothly run mission-critical resources.

Now, let's look at the features offered by Intel AMT technology:

With the help of Out-of-band system access technology, you can discover assets even when platforms are powered off. Typically, no software agents are needed.
Remote troubleshooting and recovery offer remote remediation and system recovery following OS failures: Out-of-band alerting and event logging help reduce downtime.
Hardware-based agent presence checking detects software agents running idle. If agents go inactive, it sends a message to a management console.
Intel AMT System Defense consists of infected clients as they affect network and IT alerts.
Windows PowerShell scripts smoothly integrate existing tools. IT teams can quickly and efficiently execute Intel AMT commands on managed client workstations.

Intel Hardware Shield:
It provides built-in security functions to protect against any firmware attacks. Intel Hardware Shield technology also offers the following:

  • Providing visibility to OS into BIOS and Firmware protection method by using boost times.
  • Locking critical-systems resources to prevent malicious software injection.
  • It helps companies to identify unauthorized changes for both hardware and software.
  • Prevents malicious code injection by Unified Extensible Firmware Interface(UEFI) protection. 

Cloud-based clients can take advantage of hardware shield technology. They offer increased flexibility, improved security, and reduced costs. Thanks to centralized image management, administration, secure network storage, and out-of-band protection.

Bottom Line:
Undoubtedly, Intel evo Platform offers a range of security features like hardware-based authentication, active management technology, Unified Extensible Firm Interface etc. With the help of these functions, you can unlock the security potential of your business.
