This white paper examines how AI-enabled PCs are offering significantly improved capabilities for businesses supported by these features:

  • Enhanced Threat Detection: AI-powered on-device security enables faster and more accurate identification of threats, even those that are new or unknown.
  • Reduced Attack Surface: By leveraging hardware-level security features and AI-driven analysis, the attack surface of AI PCs can be significantly minimized.
  • Improved Response Times: On-device AI allows for quicker responses to security incidents, reducing the potential impact of attacks.
  • Increased Data Privacy: Processing sensitive data locally on the AI PC, rather than relying solely on the cloud, enhances data privacy and reduces the risk of data breaches.
  • Lower Operational Costs: AI-driven automation and improved threat detection can reduce the workload on security teams and lower the overall cost of managing endpoint security.
  • Proactive Security: AI-powered security can proactively identify and mitigate potential threats before they can cause harm.
  • Simplified Security Management: Centralized management tools and automated security features can simplify the process of managing and maintaining the security of AI PCs.

4 Key Takeaways

AI PCs are Revolutionizing Endpoint Security: There is a shift in endpoint security, moving from a purely cloud-based approach to a hybrid model leveraging the power of AI directly on the PC. This allows for faster, more efficient threat detection and response.

Intel vPro Security is a Cornerstone: Intel vPro Security plays a critical role in providing a robust foundation for AI-enhanced security. Intel vPro's hardware-level security features, combined with software solutions, create a more secure environment for businesses.

AI Enhances Detection and Reduces Costs: AI-powered security features, as exemplified by BUFFERZONE and CrowdStrike, are improving threat detection accuracy and reducing the operational costs associated with managing security.

Comprehensive Protection is Essential: It’s important to have a holistic security strategy. Intel's trusted platform, hardware-level security, and partnerships with leading security ISVs can provide comprehensive protection against evolving threats.

"BUFFERZONE, for example, has worked with Intel to accelerate its NoCloud anti-phishing solution using Intel’s OpenVINO framework. This solution runs locally on the Core Ultra NPU and uses clickstream and page analysis to determine the authenticity of URLs and ensure that they do not lead to phishing websites. Since the entire application runs locally, none of the user’s or enterprise’s information is sent to the cloud. BUFFERZONE also reported that running on Intel Core Ultra Series 2 using the NPU translated to a 91% reduction in anti-phishing cost.1"

“CrowdStrike collaborated with Intel to improve AI endpoint security by leveraging the NPU to reduce CPU usage spikes when enabling endpoint clustering and processing feature vectors. This reduced CPU consumption from 35% to less than 1% by using the NPU to accelerate a neural network approach to clustering assessment.2”
