Intel Demonstrates Commitment to Security at RSA Conference 2022
At RSA Conference this week in San Francisco, Intel reinforced its commitment to security. At the event, leaders from Intel and its ecosystem partners came together to discuss how the company is addressing some of the toughest security challenges, including hybrid workforces and an increase in connected devices. Intel's approach remains steadfast, investing in unparalleled people, processes and products to deliver security without sacrificing performance.
As the cyber and network security landscapes continue to grow and evolve, Intel's goal is to stay one step ahead by driving innovation across products and research to help build strong security communities both internally and externally. Intel's 2021 Product Security Report noted that 93% of vulnerabilities addressed in Intel products were a direct result of Intel's proactive investment in security assurance. Security begins with Intel, and every component in the system—from software to silicon and network to edge—plays its part to help secure data.
Security is a team sport and addressing security challenges requires the entire ecosystem to come together. Intel continues to engage with ecosystem and government partners to advance the conversation on policies, best practices, standards and public-private partnerships that advance security and trust.
New Design Blueprint Enables Fast Deployment of Network Security Workloads
Offering an augmented approach to edge and cloud network security integration, the newly announced Intel NetSec Accelerator Reference Design will enable improved network and security processing performance, while reducing the overall infrastructure footprint for network and security solution providers.
The first-of-its-kind reference design is a highly efficient blueprint that allows original design manufacturers to quickly build - and bring to market - PCIe add-in cards featuring Intel QuickAssist Technology (Intel QAT) acceleration and full Intel-based server functionality, including orchestration and management. Ideal for IPsec, SSL/TLS, firewall, SASE and analytics workloads, design-optimized cards can be integrated by network and security vendors within their solutions to expedite the integration of network and security functions and maximize the capabilities of server infrastructure at the edge.
Ecosystem partners are currently developing products based on the reference design. This allows systems vendors, solutions integrators and end customers broad choice and the ability to consolidate more network and security workloads onto server platforms without increasing the use of rack space. The reference design also allows development of solutions, like software assets developed on Intel-based platforms, that may be used without additional re-architecting, porting or compiling. Silicom and F5 will be among the first to utilize the Intel NetSec Accelerator Reference Design to offer integration and acceleration of networking and security functions for rapid scale and time to market.
Project Circuit Breaker Expands with New Events
Following this year's introduction of Project Circuit Breaker, Intel recently completed its first two pilot events, "Camping with Tigers," and "SGX-Guarden Party." This expansion of Intel's existing open Bug Bounty program brings together a community of elite hackers to hunt bugs in firmware, hypervisors, GPUs, chipsets and other hardware. Project Circuit Breaker is part of Intel's effort to meet security researchers where they are and create more meaningful engagement. Intel remains committed to offering training to security researchers, exciting new hacking challenges and opportunities to explore new and pre-release products, as well as new collaborations with Intel hardware and software engineers. More trainings and hacking challenges are on the horizon this summer, starting with, "Alders and Seekers," where participants will test the Intel NUC Kit including a 12th Gen Intel Core desktop processor with the Intel vPro Platform, and "Trusted Crossings," which will target a new Intel technology. For researchers who are interested in participating in these upcoming events, applications are now being accepted on the Project Circuit Breaker page.
