https://finance.yahoo.com/news/intel-highlights-latest-security-investments-140000911.html At the Intel Security Day event during RSA Conference 2020, Intel underscored its commitment to security with several announcements, including details on security capabilities coming in future products. At Intel, security is a fundamental and foundational element of all aspects of architecture, design and implementation. Together with customers and partners, Intel is building a more trusted foundation in this data-centric world.
"Hardware is the bedrock of any security solution. Just as a physical structure requires a foundation established on bedrock to withstand the forces of nature, security solutions rooted in hardware will provide the greatest opportunity to provide security assurance against current and future threats," said Tom Garrison, Intel vice president and general manager of Client Security Strategy and Initiatives. "Intel hardware, and the assurance and security technologies it brings, help harden the layers above from attack."
Intel customers build solutions and services that depend on the breadth and depth of technologies in the silicon, vertical integration and substantive reach from edge to cloud. It is Intel's mission to provide common security capabilities across all architectures, to help address the ever-increasing sophistication of user experiences.
Data must be protected at rest and in motion. The protection of data is critical to extracting value from it, while delivering uncompromised performance. The next 10 years will see more architecture advancements than the past 50 years.
In my personal opinion Intel needs to do far more to ensure the security of their processors and other hardware. Too many vulnerabilities have been found in the past few years.
