Covey said in an open letter that by January 15, Intel's update will cover more than 90% of Intel CPUs released in the past five years, and other CPU updates will be released before the end of January. Subsequently, Intel will work hard to follow Customer prioritization, release updates for earlier products.
Sectionic also stressed once again that customer data security is always a top priority, not a one-time event, and promised to work with the industry to share hardware innovations to accelerate industry-wide advances in handling side-channel attacks. It will also increase funding for academic and independent research on potential security threats.
Earlier, Intel worked with the industry to develop and deliver software and firmware upgrades to address potential security breaches of Google Project Zero, also known as 'Specter' and 'Meltdown.' As of now, Intel has not received any of these potential attacks Used to obtain customer data information.
At present, companies such as AMD and ARM also acknowledge chip vulnerabilities and risks of attack, in addition to Intel, and smart devices such as desktops, laptops, servers, smartphones and tablets, as well as baby monitors, smart cars and thermostats Can be targeted. (Li Wenyao)
Attachment: Intel Corporation Chief Executive Officer Reissue Technology Industry Leaders Open Letter
Intel has been working with partners since Google Project Zero team posted a potential security risk last week, and our common goal is to restore customer confidence in data security as soon as possible. As I said this week at CES, Degree of industrial cooperation is very great.I feel great pride in the solidarity of the industry.I thank everyone for their extraordinary cooperation.We are especially grateful to the Google Project Zero team for their responsible disclosure, to coordinate the entire industry to solve these New problems have created the conditions.
As our efforts move forward, I want to clarify Intel's commitment to our customers, which is our promise:
1. Customer First Urgency: As of January 15, we will be releasing updates covering more than 90% of the Intel CPUs released in the past five years, and updates of other CPUs will be released before the end of January. We will then focus on In accordance with the priority of customer discharge, release updates for earlier products.
Transparent and timely communication: We learned a lot about software and firmware updates, and we learned that the impact on performance will depend on the specific workload, platform configuration, and elimination efforts, and we are committed to: Continuously Patch progress, performance data, and other relevant information can be found on the Intel.com Web site.
3, Continuous Security: Customer data security is always the top priority, not a one-time event.In order to speed up the security of the entire industry, we promise: According to the principle of responsible disclosure, public disclosure of major security vulnerabilities.Moreover, We are committed to working with industry-wide efforts to share innovations in hardware to accelerate industry-wide advances in handling side-channel attacks, and we are committed to increasing funding for academic and independent research on potential security threats.
We encourage industry partners to continue supporting these initiatives, each of us playing a very important role: Timely adoption of software updates and firmware patches for consumers and system manufacturers is essential; for hardware and software developers For transparent, timely sharing of performance data is critical to speeding up the process.
In short, the only way to work together is to create the quickest and most efficient way to restore customer confidence in their data security, which is what we all want and work hard to achieve.
