Intel Collaborates with Microsoft against Cryptojacking
Microsoft Defender for Endpoint expands its use of Intel® Threat Detection Technology (Intel® TDT) beyond accelerated memory scanning capabilities to activate central processing unit (CPU) based cryptomining machine learning (ML) detection. This move further accelerates endpoint detection and response for millions of customers without compromising experience.
“This is a true inflection point for the security industry as well as our SMB, mid-market and enterprise customers that have rapidly adopted Windows 10 with built-in endpoint protections. Customers who choose Intel vPro® with the exclusive Intel® Hardware Shield now gain full-stack visibility to detect threats out of the box with no need for IT configuration. The scale of this CPU-based threat detection rollout across customer systems is unmatched and helps close gaps in corporate defenses,” said

Security vendors can now leverage new telemetry and machine learning processing capabilities built into Intel s 11th Gen mobile processors to better detect and block sophisticated ransomware programs that attempt to evade traditional detection techniques. The features are built into Intel Core CPUs designed for businesses that include the vPro feature set.
Aside from IT management capabilities, the vPro platform provides various hardware-enhanced security features under the name Hardware Shield. These include things like trusted execution, virtualisation, memory encryption, runtime BIOS resilience and threat detection technology (Intel TDT).
