Intel Anti-Theft: What is it?

Wednesday 20 June 2012

According to McAfee every day in 2011 more than 55,000 new malicious software programs called "malware", were put into circulation. More than 200,000 computers were unusable after they have been victims of "command and control" network. So much time to pests on software sites, but how does it look on the hardware side with real threats? Here again a few statements that I could pick up and research - was finally on Intel's ultra-Book event site:
Safeware Insurance Agency: "Every 12 seconds is a laptop stolen in the U.S."
CSI Computer Crime & Security Survey 2009: "notebook was stolen by malicious software, the second most common threat in the business area"
Dell Ponemon study: "12,000 laptops are stolen each week at U.S. airports" & "200,000 lost or stolen laptops at European airports in the year"
Intel-Ponemon Study: "Average cost of a lost laptop is $ 49,246"

At Computex 2012, it was a result of these alarming figures then the idea of ​​Intel's new security concept into shape. These mechanisms are designed to provide protection of personal data and work with the hardware built-in features. New Books Ultra with Intel Core processors and selected third-generation predecessor models have access to technology to protect your data is.
The whole thing is not just a solution, but actually two. Thus one finds from theft of personal identity from the identity protection technology, and the aforementioned anti-theft technology. The latter is "really" explained simply. If your Ultra Book is lost or stolen, you can disable it via the Internet can directly. This is done automatically, for example, if there is "kidnapped" from a fixed location. Alternatively, you can lock the Ultra Edition by a service provider can, if you requested it so. There is the power back on, then it can be activated by you again.

The Identity Protection technology is something else, it protects you while working.
The Intel Identity Protection technology is integrated into all core processors with Intel Ultra Books of the third generation. This enables Web sites (eBay, for example) check and business networks, whether an authorized user logs in from a trusted PC with a private key that is stored in the firmware of the PC. The Intel Identity Protection technology, by his own admission an effective set of building blocks for authentication to Internet services. The technology embeds a new second authentication layer into the PC and a hardware-based protection indicator. It is used by security experts generally considered much safer than the pure software-based authentication considered.

Intel is working closely with various industry partners - ISVs through online banking and gaming provider to e-commerce sites and social networks. The technology is designed to protect the identity of users and provide optimal protection against fraud and malware. Intel has recently announced a strategic partnership with MasterCard. The collaboration combines the experience of MasterCard in payment processing with the power of Intel in chip-based security. It will provide more options for a more secure and easier payment process for online sellers and users, an ultra-Book, and future generations of Intel-based PCs use. The two companies are working together to optimize emerging technologies for payments, such as PayPass from MasterCard and Intel IPT.
So now you know that is what should be the whole. As a good tip I give to encrypt still on its way, sensitive data using BitLocker or TrueCrypt. Can not hurt
