Jeff Kilford, UK Client Compute Group Director at Intel, says: "All companies are operating some sort of balancing act with a set of competing forces. They're aware that you must have a certain amount of security but need to balance that with certain performance levels. But, of course, companies should absolutely prioritise security above all."
The Intel vPro® platform with new 10th gen Intel Core vPro processor can be a game changer for organisations faced with these challenges, A new PC with the 10th Gen Intel® Core™ vPro® processor has up to 40 per cent better overall performance1, and up to 35 per cent faster multitasking1,2 compared to a three-year-old laptop.
It's not just about performance; maintaining security has always been a major part of Intel's approach too.
The Intel vPro platform includes ground-breaking technologies that accelerate and scale security beyond software or human based approaches alone.
Intel® Hardware Shield - available exclusively on the Intel vPro® platform - provides enhanced protections against attacks below the OS. It helps minimise the risk of malicious code injection by locking down system critical resources to help prevent planted malware from compromising the OS. Hardware-to-OS security reporting enables your OS to enforce a more comprehensive security policy.
