Creating secure technology for all
Conservative estimates suggest that by 2015, over 10 billion personal electronic devices will be in active use—and the vast majority of these will be mobile- and Web-enabled.
As dependency on computing devices grows, so does the exposure to malicious code, viruses, cyber espionage, and malware. In June 2009, Kaspersky Lab, a well-known security specialist, detected the 25 millionth program designed for malicious intent. As a major provider of computing technology to the world, Intel takes its role in security very seriously.
Our passion for innovating new technologies is only matched by our dedication to protecting users from attack.
Our approach to security
Security assurance
For Intel, creating more secure products means building to consistent and high design standards in everything we make.
To understand where threats may emerge and to ensure that our standards maintain global currency, Intel regularly consults with global security experts and the security research community.
Standards and policy
Due to Intel’s central role in global computing technology development, we continue to support and contribute to key security standards through organizations such as the Trusted Computing Group (TCG).
In addition, Intel influences regulation and legislation to ensure that we continue to deliver relevant and compliant technologies.
Security innovation
Intel continues to enhance systems so they run more securely and can handle the growing workloads more efficiently. A key component of this approach is providing more robust, vulnerability-resistant platforms. This is increasingly important as attackers start targeting base components such as firmware and controllers.
Secure ecosystems
Intel® Products are only part of making computing more secure. We recognize the need to engage the entire technology ecosystem to cultivate more complete protections. With this in mind, Intel continues to strengthen its relationship with both software and hardware security vendors for complementary solutions. It also works with traditional general-purpose software providers to encourage greater implementation of secure computing.
