Intel execs stressed the importance of secure technologies and solid collaborations to improve product resilience and fuel innovation.
The "Chat" was moderated by Suzy Greenberg, vice president of Intel product assurance and security, and the Intel executive panel were Amy Santoni, principal engineer, security architecture and engineering group; Ron Perez, fellow, security architecture, data platform group; Tom Garrison, vice president and general manager of client security strategy and initiatives; and Michael Nordquist, senior director of strategic planning and architecture, client computing group.
They discussed Intel software that they said accelerated "The adoption of confidential computing." They revealed that customers such as Leidos, IntellectEU, Demetics, Consilient and University of California San Francisco use Intel SGX. Intel recently announced a partnership with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to develop a homomorphic encryption accelerator for data protection in virtual environments and cited Nasdaq as an early adopter of HE use cases.
Remote workers are wholly reliant on a well-functioning Wi-Fi system, and Greenberg said that security is a key consideration particularly for wireless core, wireless access, network edge workloads and security appliances.
"Security in 5G/6G networks is a key innovation focus within Intel Labs, and we are partnering with the National Science Foundation to accelerate research in more secure next-generation wireless systems."
Intel announced Monday and shared an IOActive report that compared the 11th Gen Intel Core vPro mobile processors with AMD Ryzen 4000-series Pro mobile processors and said the Intel processor was the more comprehensive hardware-based security for business.
