Intel Hardware Shield

Intel Hardware Shield provides the most complete protection for your business on Intel vPro.

Below-the-OS Security from Attacks at the Firmware and Hardware Levels:

Intel vPro Enterprise Powered PC for Windows includes the unique Intel Hardware Shield capabilities built to provide one of the highest levels of hardware, software, and data protection.

Intended to use the hardware hardware shell to reduce the risk of malware injection by locking the memory in the BIOS during operation and preventing malware from entering the operating system.

Help securely boot your operating system with Intel Hardware Shield, which provides a number of hardware security features that support secure boot, allowing your computers to start safely.

Extend Protections of Your Applications and Data with Hardware-Accelerated Virtualization and Encryption:

Enable hardware virtualization to protect user access credentials, workspaces, applications and data in protected areas.

Application Virtual Machines Application-Compatibility Isolation with multiple Intel hardware hardware shields on one PC with different operating systems.

Accelerate virtual security software, such as Windows Defender Certification Protection and Application Guard, to protect against kernel level malware and browser-based attacks.

Help Detect and Respond to Advanced Threats:

Reduce extremist attacks such as Flow Control, Ransamware and Crypto Mining.

Software developers, such as Microsoft, use Intel CET (Intel CET) technology to prevent attacks on system memory.

Protect from Intel Threat Detection Technology (Intel TDT) from ransomware and malicious cryptocurrency. Hardware-based threat detection designed to detect recent performance threats such as Crypto Mining and Ransomware.

Expand Protections:

Intel hardware shielding technology improves hardware-based security (VBS) to help protect computers during working hours. In addition, low operating system capabilities support secure startup, which allows systems to start reliably.

Minimize Risks:

Intel Hardware Shield reduces the risk of malware injection by locking the BIOS memory and preventing malware from entering the operating system while the program is running.

Increase Visibility:

DRTM, also known as Dynamic Root of Trust for Scaling, is a feature built into the Intel Hardware Shield, which helps to ensure that operating systems are running on legal hardware and to protect your hardware and software visibility and your systems from malware. With more information about firmware security measures, companies can better evaluate the security of their systems.
