a Systems using client-initiated remote access require wired LAN connectivity and might not be available in public hot spots or “click to accept” locations. For more information on PC-initiated remote access, visit, www.intel.com/products/centrino2/vpro/index.htm. PC-initiated remote communication is supported only in the latest notebooks and desktop PCs with Intel vPro technology.

b Requires WPA or WPA2/802.11i security and Controller Link 1 for wireless operation when user OS is down.c Intel® Anti-Theft Technology (PC protection) is only available on select notebooks (check with your OEM) with a specific firmware and BIOS version. Some functionality, like preboot authentication, local timer expiration, and self administered poison pill do not require network connectivity or a functional/responsive OS. The remote PC/data access disablement (triggered by the administrator or service provider via a flag in a central database) does require network connectivity, the system awake (on), and the operating system fully responsive. Intel Anti-Theft Technology does not work when the system is any sleep state (Sx).

Intel® vPro™ technology use cases and capabilitiesPlugged into an AC power source and connected to a wired or wireless network inside the corporate firewall, the security and management capabilities of Intel vPro technology are virtually identical for both notebooks and desktop PCs. Key capabilities – such as remote power up, remote boot, console redirection, access to preboot BIOS settings – are also available for wireless notebooks on AC power regardless of sleep state. Outside the corporate network, all capabilities are available over secure communications on a wired LAN for both notebook and desktop PCs. And, some remote capabilities, such as agent presence checking, asset inventorying and alerting, are available even over a host OS-based virtual private network (VPN).

HARDWARE-ENHANCED VIRTUALIZATION: IT’S TIME FOR PC DEFENSE IN-DEPTH

Deliver OS and application software to business PCs through next-generation

standard-practices using protected, high-performance virtualization – and

create faster, more secure, more protected environments for your mission-

critical applications and most sensitive data.

Traditional and next-generation virtualization Built-in Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT)5 for notebook and desktop

PCs with Intel® vPro™ technology helps you efficiently run more than one OS

on a PC. These PCs support both traditional and next-generation application

delivery, such as using virtualization to stream OSs and applications – even

full system builds – into more secure, isolated virtual containers as-needed.

The combination of streaming and virtual containers lets IT manage software

independently of hardware, protect IT tasks from tampering, isolate corporate

data from personal data, and increase security for mission-critical applications

without overly limiting the worker’s use of personal but unsupported software.

Trusted launch and protected shutdownIntel® Trusted Execution Technology (Intel® TXT)6 and industry-standard

TPM 1.2 help the PC boot software into a trusted state and also protect

credentials during both orderly and disorderly shutdowns. These features

enable an additional layer of security, helping protect the integrity of the

virtual machine monitor and critical business data.

Multiply your security levelsWith enhanced isolation, greater efficiency, and lower overhead, Intel VT and

Intel TXT can help you protect virtual environments against rootkit and other

attacks, improve security, and minimize business risk.

Proactively protect your notebook and desktop PCsProtect your infrastructure and help ensure business continuity with the unique hardware-enhanced security technologies in notebook and desktop PCs with Intel® vPro™ technology. Now you can stop many threats before they reach the operating system, isolate infected systems, and update PC security software more efficiently and effectively than ever before.

The hardware-based capabilities of Intel vPro technology

improve network traffic filtering and isolate clients

under attack to protect your network. Automatic

verification of the presence of security agents

and immediate remote restoration enhance your

preventive security efforts. With new optional

Intel® Anti-Theft Technology (Intel® AT)7 for

notebooks, you can automatically prevent unauthor-

ized access to encrypted data or disable the system

(through programmable triggers) if the notebook is

lost or stolen – and still recover quickly and completely

with an approved passphrase or IT-controlled token

when the system is returned to the user.

Even from outside the corporate firewall, a wired

notebook or desktop PC can initiate a secure

connection to the IT console to alert you to

critical events – such as falling out of compliance.

Integrated posture authentication in wired or wireless

notebook and desktop PCs lets you respond quickly

with Intel vPro technology’s out-of-band manage-

ability even in 802.1x, PXE, Cisco SDN, and Microsoft

NAP environments. And with secure, reliable remote

power-up functionality, you can deploy off-hours

patches across your enterprise faster and without

disrupting end users, speeding up patch saturation

by up to 56%.3

Intel vPro technology also enables more accurate

inventories to help ensure all systems are compliant

with security policies. Additionally, the hardware-

assisted antivirus protection of Execute Disable

Bit helps protect your PCs from certain viruses

that use buffer overflow attack.8

These capabilities work with management solutions from leading ISVs such as HP, LANDesk, Microsoft, and Symantec to enhance down-the-wire control of your company’s computers and streamline maintenance and other operations.

When desktops or notebooks experience issues,

you can speed recovery times, minimize deskside

visits, and improve technician efficiencies.

Intel vPro technology can help you diagnose and

repair both wired and wireless systems remotely –

even notebooks outside the corporate firewall –

cut downtime, and reduce the average in-person IT

support time. You can even access notebook and

desktop PCs when the OS is unresponsive, while

from the user’s side, a new “fast help” hotkey lets

them quickly and securely connect the PC to the

help desk for servicing from outside the corporate

firewall.11 Intel vPro technology also allows you to

perform remote asset tracking and check the

presence of management agents virtually any-

time. This functionality helps you conduct hard-

ware and software inventories up to 94% faster

than manually per PC.3 These notebooks and desk-

top PCs can initiate secure communications to the

IT console from outside or inside the corporate

firewall to check for patches, inventory requests,

and other updates, making it even easier to

schedule maintenance and other work.

Select PCs with Intel vPro technology are part of

the Intel® Stable Image Platform Program (Intel®

SIPP),12 so you can avoid unexpected changes that

might force software image revisions or hardware

re-qualifications. This helps your team more

effectively plan replacement cycles and reduce

the number of deployed client configurations.

Plus, these PCs are built on industry standards

such as ASF, SOAP, TLS, WS-MAN and DASH.*

ENTERPRISES ARE BENEFITING Intel® Centrino® 2 with vPro™ technology

The EDS studies compare test environments of Intel® Centrino® Pro and Intel® vPro™ processor technology equipped PCs vs non- Intel® vPro™ processor technology environments. The Wipro study models projected ROI of deploying Intel® Centrino® Pro processor technology. Actual results may vary. The studies are available at www.intel.com/vpro, www.wipro.com, www.eds.com.

4 Contact your ISV for specific implementation schedules and support for both desktop and notebook PCs. 5 Intel® Virtualization Technology requires a computer system with an enabled Intel® processor, BIOS, Virtual Machine Monitor (VMM) and, for some

uses, certain computer system software enabled for it. Functionality, performance or other benefits will vary depending on hardware and software configurations and may require a BIOS update. Software applications may not be compatible with all operating systems. Please check with your application vendor.

6 No computer system can provide absolute security under all conditions. Intel® Trusted Execution Technology (Intel® TXT) requires a computer system with Intel® Virtualization Technology, an Intel TXT-enabled processor, chipset, BIOS, Authenticated Code Modules and an Intel TXT-compatible measured launched environment (MLE). The MLE could consist of a virtual machine monitor, an OS or an application. In addition, Intel TXT requires the system to contain a TPM v1.2, as defined by the Trusted Computing Group and specific software for some uses. For more information, see http://www.intel.com/technology/security.

7 No computer system can provide absolute security under all conditions. Intel® Anti-Theft Technology (Intel® AT) for PC protection (also referred to as the ‘poison pill’ in some documents) requires the computer system to have an Intel® AT-enabled chipset, BIOS, firmware release, software and an Intel AT-capable Service Provider/ISV application and service subscription. Intel® AT (PC Protection) performs the encrypted data access disable by preventing access to or deleting cryptographic material (e.g. encryption keys) required to access previously encrypted data. ISV-provided Intel-AT-capable encryption software may store this cryptographic material in the PC’s chipset. In order to restore access to data when the system is recovered, this cryptographic material must be escrowed/backed up in advance in a separate device or server provided by the security ISV/service provider. The detection (triggers), response (actions), and recovery mechanisms only work after the Intel® AT functionality has been activated and configured. The activation process requires an enrollment procedure in order to obtain a license from an authorized security vendor/service provider for each PC or batch of PCs. Activation also requires setup and configuration by the purchaser or service provider and may require scripting with the console. Certain functionality may not be offered by some ISVs or service providers. Certain functionality may not be available in all countries. Intel assumes no liability for lost or stolen data and/or systems or any other damages resulting thereof.

8 Enabling Execute Disable Bit functionality requires a PC with a processor with Execute Disable Bit capability and a supporting operating system. Check with your PC manufacturer on whether your system delivers Execute Disable Bit functionality.
