Security News > 2021 > April > Microsoft and Intel join forces to advance endpoint detection and response against cryptojacking

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint expands its use of Intel Threat Detection Technology beyond accelerated memory scanning capabilities to activate central processing unit based cryptomining machine learning detection.

"Customers who choose Intel vPro with the exclusive Intel Hardware Shield now gain full-stack visibility to detect threats out of the box with no need for IT configuration."

About Intel TDT. Intel TDT, part of Intel Hardware Shield's suite of advanced capabilities on Intel vPro and also available on Intel Core platforms, equips endpoint detection and response solutions with CPU heuristics for advanced memory scanning, cryptojacking and ransomware detection.

Intel TDT helps endpoint security solutions harness CPU telemetry and hardware acceleration to help identify threats and detect anomalous activity.

"As organizations look to simplify their security investments, built-in platform-based security technologies, such as the integration of Intel TDT with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, combine best of breed in a streamlined solution."

The threat detection capabilities are native to Intel Core and vPro platforms and operate seamlessly with EDR solutions without the need for installation or deployment IT configuration.
