FEATURES
27
BENEFITS
Collaborative Processor
Performance Control (CPPC)
A technology based on the ACPI 5.0 specification that dynamically modulates performance vs.
active application power. It reduces active power to deliver long battery life and allows deep low
power states to be reached.
Intel® BIOS Guard (Codename
Platform Flash Armoring
Technology [PFAT])
21
Intel® BIOS Guard is an augmentation of existing chipset-based BIOS flash protection capabilities
targeted to address the increasing malware threat to BIOS flash storage. It protects the BIOS
flash from modification without platform manufacturer authorization, helps defend the platform
against low-level DOS (denial of service) attacks, and restores BIOS to a known good state after
an attack.
Intel® Boot Guard
19
Hardware-based boot integrity protection that helps prevent unauthorized software and
malware takeover of boot blocks critical to a system’s function, thus providing added level of
platform security based on hardware. Configurable boot types include:
Measured Boot—Measures the initial boot block into the platform storage device such as trusted
platform module (TPM) or Intel® Platform Trust Technology (PTT).
Verified Boot—Cryptographically verifies the platform initial boot block using the boot policy
key.
Intel® OS Guard
14
A hardware-based security feature that protects the OS (operating system) kernel. OS Guard
helps prevent use of malicious data or attack code located in areas of memory marked as user
mode pages from taking over or compromising the OS kernel. OS Guard is not application-
specific and protects the kernel from any application.
Intel® Platform Trust
Technology
20
A trusted element of the platform execution that provides enhanced security by verifying the
boot portion of the boot sequence.
VMCS shadowing VMCS shadowing allows a Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) running in a guest (nested
virtualization) to access a shadow VMCS memory area using the normal VMRead/VMWrite
instructions. This technology reduces overhead for a more natural and responsive user
experience. It also allows users to take control of their personal and professional data and apps
while being protected by game-changing security.
Intel® Active Management
Technology (Intel® AMT)
2
Using built-in platform capabilities and popular third-party management and security
applications, Intel AMT allows IT to discover, heal, and protect computing assets on wired and
wireless networks.
Intel® Small Business
Advantage (Intel® SBA)
10
Helps small businesses enhance the security and productivity of their small business with a range
of out of the box features, including software monitor, data backup and restore, USB port blocker,
health center, and wireless display.
Intel® Rapid Storage
Technology (Intel® RST)
Offers excellent levels of performance, responsiveness, and expandability. Take advantage of the
enhanced performance and lower power consumption available with Intel® RST with one or more
SATA or PCIe storage drives. With additional SATA drives, Intel® RST provides quicker access to
digital photo, video, and data files with RAID 0, 5, and 10, and greater data protection against a
storage disk drive failure with RAID 1, 5, and 10
