Intel Releases Chip-Level Security Technology and Industry Applications at RSA Conference in 2018

Protecting Digital World Security: Intel Releases Chip-Level Security Technology and Industry Applications at RSA 2018

Author: Rick Echevarria, vice president of Intel Platform Software and Services Group, general manager of the security sector

Today's cybersecurity landscape is evolving with emerging threats, which means that we must be vigilant in providing solutions to protect customers and their data. Considering that hardware is the foundation of innovation, it is also the foundation of trust. Security Axiom, Intel has long been committed to promoting security innovations from chips to applications and from client devices to the edge to the cloud.

In the past year alone, we have worked with industry leaders to help improve future security-based applications such as confidential computing and blockchain. We also launched Intel® Secure Device Onboard for IoT devices. In response to the side-channel security risks disclosed at the beginning of January this year, we also emphasized the measures we are taking to incorporate security protection into the hardware.

Today, we took another step forward and announced two new technologies: Intel® Threat Detection Technology (Intel® TDT), a set of chip-level features that will help the ecosystem detect new threat categories; Intel® Security Essentials, one capable of Standardizes the architecture of built-in security features across Intel processors. We also announced the strengthening of academic cooperation with Purdue University to help accelerate the development and development of cybersecurity talent.

Launched Intel Threat Detection Technology

Intel threat detection technology leverages chip-level sensing technology and capabilities to help our industry partners improve detection of advanced cyber threats and potential attacks. Today, we announced the first two Intel threat detection technology feature configurations, including Microsoft* and Cisco* installation plan.

The first functional configuration is to speed up memory scans. Current scanning techniques can detect memory-level network attacks but affect CPU performance. By speeding up memory scans, scanning will be handled by Intel's integrated graphics processor to support more. Scan, while reducing the impact on performance and power consumption. According to the early benchmark data displayed by the Intel test system, CPU utilization fell from 20% to 2%.

Microsoft integrates accelerated memory scanning into the (ATP)* anti-virus feature of Microsoft's Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection and is now available.

The second Intel threat detection technology is Intel Advanced Platform Sensing. Intel Advanced Platform Sensing combines platform sensing with machine learning algorithms to improve detection of advanced threats while reducing false positives and minimizing performance impact. The Cisco Tetration* platform for data center security and cloud workload protection will be Cisco's first product integrated with the Intel Advanced Platform Sensing. I’m excited about the progress we’ve made, we’re working with key partners, taking the lead in the chip and The software field is pioneering and innovating to help protect customers from emerging threats.

Intel Security Essentials: Built-in Security Foundation

Today, we will also introduce Intel Security Essentials, which ensures that Intel® CoreTM, Intel® Xeon® and Intel® Atom® processors have a consistent set of key hardware-trusted root security features. These feature configurations include: For secure boot Platform integrity technology, hardware protection (for data, keys and other digital assets), accelerated encryption, and protection of application's trusted execution area at runtime.

When customers build solutions that originated in hardware protection, this set of standard features will speed up trusted computing. In addition, these feature configurations are directly integrated into Intel chips to increase computing security and reduce the cost of deploying security solutions. And to minimize the impact of security on performance.

Strengthen academic cooperation with Purdue University

Intel is committed to becoming an active partner in the security ecosystem. The network security talent in the technology industry is extremely scarce. To meet today's cyber security challenges, we need the industry and academia to accelerate the development and development of the next generation of security-conscious professionals.

To this end, we are strengthening our collaboration with the academic community in cybersecurity to advance industry research and work to narrow the talent gap in the industry. Today, Purdue University announces the launch of a security badge design program for students and professionals. Collaborated with Intel.

Some other partners will announce relevant news at this week's RSA Conference, so I encourage attendees to visit our booth (No. 3435 North Hall) for more information.

Starting from the chip-level security foundation, Intel is committed to helping protect the digital world. We will continue to work with industry partners - and keep our promise of safety first - and continue to spare no effort to protect our customers and their data.
