Unable to confirm whether Data Execution Prevention (DEP) is supported by an Intel® Xeon® Processor
Data Execution Prevention (DEP) is a Microsoft term and is enabled by default if the processor supports the Execute Disable Bit (XD).
Thus Intel Xeon Processors that support XD will support DEP as well.
To check if an Intel Xeon Processor supports the Execute Disable Bit, check the Security & Reliability information listed for each Intel® Xeon® Processor in the Intel Technical Specifications website (https://ark.intel.com).
