Intel vPro Platform Increases Security

Intel's solution uses 11th or 12th generation Intel Core processors, which increase productivity and security.

Intel vPro is a platform designed specifically for businesses that includes hardware and software technologies for building enterprise computing endpoints. Intel vPro is considered an "enterprise-grade performance revolution" when it comes to 11th or 12th generation Intel Core processors.

The platform is equipped with Intel Iris Xe graphics cards to help users boost performance, along with Intel Wi-FI 6 and Thunderbolt 4 ports for users to use the latest wireless and cable connections. vPro integrates many different circuits to speed up AI processing, enabling businesses to enhance AI applications to improve productivity but with little impact on operational performance. When all these latest technologies are combined, the 11th generation processor is suitable for individuals or teams.

In terms of security, this solution is equipped with Intel Hardware Shield - operating system-mode security that helps prevent attacks on the basic input, output system (BIOS) and other core components to build secure hardware and software platform. Meanwhile, data security and application protection has the ability to accelerate encryption combined with other features to protect applications and logins from attacks. Finally, advanced threat detection uses enhanced memory scanning and AI to detect new threats such as ransomware and cryptocurrency mining.

As more and more employees work remotely, there will be more devices accessing the corporate network that bypass the firewall. The Intel vPro platform with built-in Intel Active Management Technology (Intel AMT) enables enterprise IT staff to establish a secure connection between the IT department and personal computers. Once a secure connection is established, the IT department can perform a variety of tasks as part of AMT.

This business solution also includes Intel AMT remote power control. With this feature, businesses can control the power status of the computer remotely. Units use this feature to automate the patching process with low energy consumption. Businesses can shut down computers at the end of the day and restart them at night to perform security updates without impacting productivity. After completing the patch, users can put the computer into hibernation to save power. Before the new workday begins, business owners can get computers ready for employees to use.

Intel vPro also integrates KVM hardware (keyboard, video, mouse) in the chip. In the event that the computer cannot boot, the IT department can connect with full KVM support for remote device remediation, even accessing the BIOS while maintaining a KVM connection.

Intel Endpoint Management Assistant (EMA) helps power Intel AMT beyond the firewall. By using a cloud-based management infrastructure, devices do not need a functional VPN to receive support from the IT team. As long as AMT-enabled computers can access the cloud, IT staff will be able to securely connect and control remote computers. This also allows technicians to work on-site or remotely.

Cloud-based infrastructure is also easier to deploy and scale than traditional on-premises infrastructure and can be controlled using a simple web interface. When running Intel EMA in combination with Intel AMT, businesses can quickly and remotely fix failures for applications, VPNs, and operating systems that crash.

The Intel vPro platform is now used by many businesses to boost productivity. Accenture, a major service provider in the world, used vPro to remotely access, monitor, and manage devices. This technology also helps to solve new problems that arise. Therefore, this unit chose vPro to handle the internal operations of the company with more than 500,000 employees, managing millions of devices for thousands of customers globally.

This enterprise platform will help improve productivity, enhance data security, and provide greater control over machine management, said Intel. The platform is specifically tailored to meet the needs of today's technology professionals, helping businesses thrive in a rapidly changing digital world.
