The Execute Disable Bit is a hardware-based security feature that can reduce exposure to viruses and malicious-code attacks, and prevent harmful software from executing and propagating on the server or network.

To find if the Execute Disable Bit is supported, refer to the Securities Technologies located under Supported Technologies section in the datasheet for the processor. Use How to Find Datasheets for Intel® Processors to get the datasheet for the processor.

Note Newer processors such as 11th Generation Intel® Core™ Processors consider the Execute Disable Bit feature to be Legacy and thus it may not be listed in the processor specification page (ARK). However, it is still supported.
