Leading With Intel vPro\u00ae Technology, the Most Trusted Hardware Security and Remote Management Solution on the Market<\/h5>\n

Intel vPro enables your IT team to support and protect your computer and files remotely. Groundbreaking security and innovations enable your IT team to remotely repair corrupted hard drives, restart pcs, and more. Sleep soundly knowing your remote work station is protected.<\/p>\n

With all the attention given to AI, we as an industry have lost track of the larger more immediate challenges that businesses face on a daily basis which include improving hardware system security to protect against cyber-attacks and effective management of remote end points. With a 17-year history and tens of thousands of systems deployed, Intel vPro\u00ae Technology<\/a>, addresses both of these high-profile concerns.<\/p>\n

While AI holds significant promise, many customers are involved in the lengthy process of determining the business use case for how AI will ultimately benefit the organization. As they struggle with issues such as AI application selection, data migration and employee training, they face other challenges in addressing security threats, managing remote computer systems and maintaining security updates to protect the company from outside threats.<\/p>\n

Developing sales opportunities by providing customers with solutions that deliver value by solving immediate challenges will result in revenue growth as well as a stronger partnership. With the threat landscape continuing to grow and continuing to put businesses of all sizes at risk, Intel vPro\u00ae Technology delivers recognizable value to the end client.<\/p>\n

Why Lead with Intel vPro\u00ae Technology<\/h5>\n
    \n
  1. Security is a growing concern for IT staff and SMB customers. If the cost of Cybercrime were measured in GDP, it would be the Third Largest Economy in the World behind the US and China (IMF, Bloomberg, Cybersecurity Ventures)<\/li>\n
  2. Older systems are more vulnerable to threats and attacks because they lack the security features to protect the device against modern attack methods.<\/li>\n
  3. Intel estimates there are over 35mu high risk Commercial PCs that are 4 years old or more in the US, with 17mu in the SMB space alone.<\/li>\n
  4. The number of fully remote or hybrid remote workers is increasing, placing more endpoints outside the corporate firewall at higher risk for an attack<\/li>\n
  5. Software protocols and policies are not updated on remote endpoints putting them at greater risk<\/li>\n
  6. 70% of all breaches began at the endpoint (IDC)<\/li>\n
  7. Cyber-attacks are not just an Enterprise issue, 61% of attacks targeted SMBs and 87% were repeat victims within a year (Forrester)<\/li>\n
  8. 75% of SMBs don\u2019t have personnel to address IT Security issues. Channel resellers can add significant value with support services that help SMBs manage their fleet of PCs.<\/li>\n
  9. 61% of all cyberattacks target the US (WebFX)<\/li>\n
  10. Cyberattacks continue to evolve and evade detection by software only methods so adding hardware security capabilities is essential to strengthen system protections<\/li>\n
  11. Attacks target operating systems, browsers, applications, firmware, BIOS and system memory. Defenses need to evolve to protect at the hardware level.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    Intel vPro\u00ae Value<\/h5>\n
      \n
    1. Provides hardened security right out of the box<\/li>\n
    2. Provides a 70% Reduction in the attack surface (SELabs)<\/li>\n
    3. Results in a 90% reduction in hardware onsite visits (Forrester)<\/li>\n
    4. Results in a 65% reduction in time spent to manage the device (Forrester)<\/li>\n
    5. Allows for remote access of end points to repair corrupted OS, update security patches, update drivers, install applications, install the OS, restart the BIOS, and more even if the PC is powered off<\/li>\n
    6. Allows for remote secure access via corporate server or through the cloud (MSF, AWS, or Google) including known WiFi networks<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      Future Proof with AI<\/h5>\n
        \n
      1. While companies recognize that AI will be part of their business solution, it is a more complicated discussion because many customers have not defined their AI strategy or defined their AI applications<\/li>\n
      2. There are many phases of AI, so hardware deployments have different or lengthy timelines based on the completion of other project tasks such as those associated with data storage and security<\/li>\n
      3. The AI business value has not been defined so measuring ROI is complex<\/li>\n
      4. AI is a future need, not an immediate problem to solve<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        Intel AI Value<\/h5>\n
          \n
        1. Intel offers AI enhanced processors with integrated NPUs for desktops (Intel Core Ultra 200S \/ Arrow Lake), and laptops (Intel core Ultra 200V \/ Lunar Lake)<\/li>\n
        2. Intel collaborates with hundreds of ISV partners to ensure their software applications are optimized for the AI capabilities of the Intel Core Ultra Processors<\/li>\n
        3. Intel Core Ultra processors deliver up to 2.8x improved client product energy efficiency<\/li>\n
        4. Intel Core Ultra 200V (Lunar Lake) processors support up to 20 hours of battery life on AI Notebooks<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Accelerating the PC refresh cycle is about solving immediate business challenges which is why leading with security as well as manageability is a much more meaningful and immediate solution discussion that resellers should engage since their customers can easily relate to these topics. Enhancing the value proposition by providing an AI PC solution that is based on the Intel Core Ultra family of processors with Intel vPro\u00ae Technology delivers a system that gives the end customer a gateway into the age of AI when they are ready.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":9053,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9055","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"\nThe PC Refresh Cycle - ASI Canada<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Protect your business from cyber-attacks and manage remote endpoints with Intel vPro Technology.
