Improve Your Platform Security With Latest Generation Intel Xeon Processors

In today's world , Security threat comes in many forms and flavors. that's why Intel has taken a unique, multi-tiered approach to strengthen security for data center and cloud environments. The essence of the strategy can be summed up in three words, Isolate, Enforce and Encrypt. The idea being to isolate application and threats from gaining access to other applications and data. To enforce trust between virtualized results is across the data center and cloud and to encrypt data to protect it from being stolen. Several security technologies introduced Xeon processors that enhances isolation , enforcement and encryption and now the latest generation Xeon processors based servers include innovative technologies that further protects your sensitive data. One of those Innovative technologies include Intel Platform Protection technology with OS guard.

Latest generation Intel processors provides great security to protect your sensitive data

Think of it as a security barrier which becomes dangerous and increasingly following Escalation of Privilege Attack. These attacks exploit OS or application vulnerability. The OS guard helps to prevent these malware attacks and protects it from further excess. Another new technology is Intel Data Protection Technology with Secure Key. Its designed to further data encryption. Quality encryption requires two essential components, a strong crypto algorithm and strong protective key much like a physical key which is used to lock or unlock a door. Randomness is the most important characteristic of a secure key and this is the foundation of key uniqueness.

Uniqueness is vital, because if is a key can be predicted than the door to the data it protects will be unlocked by any random key. Traditional encryption methods includes Software based Pseudo Random Number Generators to generate unique keys. The problem is sometimes these generators generate repeated keys which can be predicted easily or sometimes in software based approach the keys internal state is stored in memory which is visible to malware. With Intel Data Protection Technology with Secure you data is more secured with full encryption and these are some of the reasons that servers featuring latest Intel Xeon Processors can better protect your data and cloud infrastructure.
