[{"type":"text","content":" SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--\nWhat’s New: Next week at Black Hat 2019 in Las Vegas, hardware and firmware security will be a central topic of conference trainings and briefings. Intel and a growing number of companies in the industry continue to advance technologies that improve security at the lower layers of the computing stack with Intel® Threat Detection Technology (Intel® TDT) that complement built-in capabilities of our Intel® Xeon Scalable platforms for data-center infrastructure and Intel® Core processors for client computing.\n\n\n“In today’s cybersecurity landscape, the attackers consistently discover novel attack vectors, exploiting any possible vulnerabilities – in software, firmware or hardware. To support the defense in-depth approach of our customers, Intel has enhanced threat detection at the foundation of the system stack. Our Threat Detection Technology provides security companies with a toolset to augment software-only solutions with hardware-level detectors.”\n– Jim Gordon, Intel general manager of Platform Security\n\n\nWhy It Matters: The threat landscape is constantly evolving, and the rate and pace of security research for software and hardware products continues to accelerate. According to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), there were 13% more vulnerabilities reported in 2018 than in 2017.\n\n\nSecurity solutions need to keep pace with the latest attacks, as well as infinite variations of known attack methods. All of this needs to be done with minimal impact on the customer experience. Intel’s hardware-based security technologies deliver two powerful capabilities: accelerated memory scanning and advanced platform telemetry.\n\n\nHow New Intel Customers Use the Technology:\n\n\nAccelerated memory scanning is an industry enabler: Sequretek* is the latest company to work with Intel to integrate accelerated memory scanning in its endpoint detection, protection and response (EDPR) solution. With plans to release this solution in September 2019, early testing indicates significant performance improvement along with integration of Intel’s accelerated memory scanning stack.\n\n\nAccelerated memory scanning in Intel TDT enables memory scanning that was rarely used due to its effect on system performance and power consumption. Intel offloaded the scanning for memory-based malware...
