Intel puts more hardware security in vPro line
After months of hyping, Intel is rolling out an update to its vPro technology featuring improved hardware-based security and manageability tools for its chips. The latest rev of vPro will see the introduction of Intel’s hardware-based Trusted Execution Technology (TXT), which the company says will defend PCs against attacks aimed at stealing sensitive information.
“vPro will ship with the third generation of Intel Active Management Technology (AMT). The engine helps manage, inventory, diagnose and repair PCs even when the system is turned off or has suffered an OS or hard drive crash.
vPro also now supports new standards from Desktop Mobile Working Group (DMWG), which is a specification for compatibility across PC hardware and software developed by the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF).
