Intel vPro\u00ae Technology is a multi-layered hardware security and remote management solution that not only delivers out of the box protection against cyber-attacks but also empowers administrators to discover, diagnose, repair or retire PCs remotely even if the OS is down, or non-responsive or the system is powered off.<\/p>\n
Intel vPro\u00ae Technology Consists of three pillars which include Intel Hardware Shield, Intel AMT (Active Management Technology), and Intel EMA (Endpoint Management Assist) each of which deliver a unique set of capabilities and business value.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/i>Remote Management with Intel AMT<\/h5><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>
\nIntel AMT allows remote management of the entire PC fleet, even if the OS is down or the system is powered off, to perform a host of functions including updating drivers, installing software, reimaging drives, updating patches, and more.<\/strong><\/p>\n
- \n
- vPro Systems can be deployed 30% faster<\/li>\n
- Reduces Time Spent with Ongoing Endpoint Management of Systems by 65%<\/li>\n
- 90% Reduction in Hardware Related Onsite Visits<\/li>\n
- Results in 40% Less Hardware Support Tickets<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>
<\/i>Remote Access with Intel EMT<\/h5><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>
\nIntel Endpoint Management Assist is a software agent that allows for the remote management of the Intel AMT device.<\/strong><\/p>\n
- \n
- Supports On-Prem, Hybrid, or Cloud Management of the PC<\/li>\n
- Manage PCs Beyond the Corporate Firewall Over the Cloud and Through Known WiFi Networks and Connections<\/li>\n
- Access Over the Cloud with AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
The Secure PC, not the AI PC<\/h4>\n
While AI holds significant promise for future efficiencies, the larger more immediate business challenges are protecting systems from security threats and effectively managing remote end points.<\/p>\n
Cyber Attacks<\/h4>\n
Security threats are increasing and becoming increasingly more advanced. Bloomberg estimates that if cybercrime were measured in GDP, it would represent the 3rd<\/sup> Largest Economy in the World.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Additionally, IDC reports that over 70% of all breaches began at the endpoint. These systems are more vulnerable to attack because workers PC provide access to the company network and are typically older so they lack many of the security capabilities available on newer PCs. Additionally, because the system are remote, they typically do not have the most updated corporate software security protocols updated.<\/p>\n<\/div>
SMBs Are at Risk<\/h4>\n
While we tend to assume that cyber criminals only attack large enterprises, they are just as likely to target an SMB since these companies also have personal information related to their clients.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
61%<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>of all attacks target the US<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
