Intel vPro® Security
Choosing PCs built on Intel vPro® means your users, your data, and your business are all better protected. Intel vPro® Security provides advanced threat detection, application and data safeguards, and below-the-OS defenses for no-sweat, full-stack coverage.1
Out-of-the Box PC Security
As the frequency, complexity, and severity of cyberattacks and network security attacks continue to rise, and as AI workloads become more ubiquitous in business, trust Intel vPro Security to better protect your users, their endpoints, and the data they use. Included all PCs built on Intel vPro, this collection of security technologies helps defend against modern threats at each layer: hardware, BIOS/firmware, hypervisor, VMs, OS, and applications.
Validated Against the Gold Standard for Cybersecurity Operations
Instantly improve your security posture with Intel vPro® Security, which helps protect against the real threats that plague businesses worldwide. Enhancing threat detection and data protection, Intel vPro Security features capabilities mapped to 150 attack behaviors identified in the MITRE ATT&CK framework2 and 30 attack behaviors outlined in the MITRE ATLAS framework, a growing list of known AI threats. Paired with isolation via virtualization-based security, these mapping features help defend Intel vPro Platform-based PCs from being compromised. Intel vPro Security’s hardware-based security capabilities also defend the OS against malware attacks by ensuring the system boots in a trusted state.
Security at the Firmware and Hardware Levels
Intel vPro Security improves network and cyber security with active measures and exclusive out-of-the-box features, including advanced threat protection, application and data protection, and below-the-OS security. One of these features, Intel® Threat Detection Technology (Intel® TDT), is an AI-powered tool that helps protect your users from ransomware, crypto-jacking, software supply chain attacks, and other threats. Other hardware-based security capabilities support a secure startup and prevent malware from compromising the OS so that your PC launches in a trusted state.
Extend Protections with Hardware-Accelerated Virtualization and Encryption
Boost IT security for virtualized environments with Intel vPro Security, which extends hardware-rooted features to help protect user access credentials, workspaces, applications, and data in hardened enclaves. When running virtual machines for security-based isolation, Intel vPro Security helps support application compatibility across operating systems on the same PC. It helps protect data at every layer with hardware-based encryption. The virtualization capabilities of Intel vPro Security accelerate virtualized security software like Windows Defender Credential Guard and Application Guard, helping protect against OS kernel-level malware and browser-based attacks.
Help Detect and Respond to Advanced Threats
Mitigate extreme network security attacks like control-flow hijacking, ransomware, and crypto mining. Utilizing the three compute engines in Intel® Core™ Ultra processors, Intel® TDT helps make independent security software faster and more effective while providing extra performance headroom for demanding business applications. Meanwhile, Intel® Control-Flow Enforcement Technology (Intel® CET) helps defend against attacks on system memory.
Not All Hardware Security Capabilities Are Created Equally
Before you make your next PC purchase, be sure to take a deeper look.
Enhance System Security at Every Start
Users are better protected whenever they start their PCs with the Intel® Silicon Security Engine. It uses hardware-based authentication to help ensure system-critical software hasn’t been tampered with, and it protects the power-management circuitry firmware. Additional firmware protections are in development.
Add Trust to Your Client Systems
Ensure you can rely on your supply chain with the Intel® Trusted Device Setup (Intel® TDS) digital seal of OEM attestation. This seal helps verify that new PCs have not been tampered with post-manufacturing before corporate security software is installed—even when shipped directly to end users working from home. The OEM remote health attestation service detects if the PC has been tampered with, including chassis intrusion, firmware or BIOS changes, storage drive replacement, or being booted while in transit. It delivers a signed health report alongside the digital seal, which captures tampering events that could pose a security risk.
Built to Move Business Forward
PCs built on Intel vPro and powered by Intel Core Ultra processors are designed specifically for business. Forward-looking management and reliability features to help you confidently navigate the future of IT security and empower your team to connect and collaborate more seamlessly. Intel vPro moves business forward to keep you agile, allows you to scale, and help you realize your goals fast. Anything is possible when you are equipped to do it all.
