KI für Sicherheit und Stabilität in der digitalen Welt: Wie die Intel vPro Platform zum effektiven Schutz Eurer Daten beiträgt

Alexander Loth präsentiert an der Frankfurt School die Intel vPro Platform.

Werbung. In der heutigen datengetriebenen Welt ist es unerlässlich, ein stabiles und leistungsfähiges System zu haben, das nicht nur Daten effektiv verarbeitet, sondern auch wertvolle Einblicke liefert und diese sicher mit anderen teilt. Ein solches System wird noch wertvoller, wenn es mit fortschrittlicher Technologie wie Künstlicher Intelligenz (KI) ausgestattet ist. In diesem Zusammenhang möchte ich Euch heute eine bahnbrechende Lösung in diesem Bereich vorstellen: die Intel vPro Platform.

In der letzten Folge unseres Podcasts Die Digitalisierung und Wir haben wir über die vielfältigen Herausforderungen gesprochen, die mit der zunehmenden Digitalisierung einhergehen. Ein Kernthema, das immer wieder auf unserer Agenda steht, ist die Sicherheit. Und heute, in einer Zeit, in der Cybersicherheit und Datenmanagement zentrale Aspekte in unserer immer stärker vernetzten Welt sind, steht eine bestimmte Technologie im Rampenlicht: die Intel vPro Platform.

Was ist das Besondere an der Intel vPro Platform? Es handelt sich um ein integriertes System aus Hardware und Software, das erhebliche Vorteile für die Datenverarbeitung in Unternehmen bietet – von der Leistung über die Sicherheit bis hin zur Verwaltbarkeit und Stabilität. Wir alle wissen, wie wichtig eine sichere digitale Umgebung ist, und genau hier kommt die Intel vPro Platform ins Spiel.

Leistungsfähigkeit der Intel vPro Platform

Um euch einen Eindruck von der Leistungsfähigkeit dieser Technologie zu vermitteln, möchte ich euch eine Anekdote erzählen. Vielleicht erinnert ihr euch an eine unserer früheren Podcast-Episoden, in der wir über die Herausforderungen von Remote-Arbeit gesprochen haben. Ein IT-Manager, den ich kenne, stand vor einem großen Problem: Er musste hunderte von Laptops für das Arbeiten aus der Ferne fit machen, und zwar sicher. Mit der Intel vPro Platform konnte er diese Aufgabe erfolgreich und effizient lösen – und das von seinem Home-Office aus!

Funktionen wie die Active Management Technology (AMT) ermöglichen es, Geräte aus der Ferne zu verwalten, zu diagnostizieren und zu reparieren – selbst wenn sie ausgeschaltet sind oder ein beschädigtes Betriebssystem haben. Auch die Sicherheit kommt nicht zu kurz: Mit Technologien wie Intel Hardware Shield und diskreten Trusted Platform Module (dTPM)-Chips leistet die Platform einen wichtigen Beitrag zum Schutz vor Cyber-Bedrohungen und zur Datenverschlüsselung.

Künstliche Intelligenz zur Optimierung der Plattform

Ein weiteres Highlight ist der Einsatz von künstlicher Intelligenz zur Optimierung der Plattform. Ja, das klingt nach Science Fiction, ist aber eine reale und praktische Anwendung von KI. Sie hilft, die Leistung auf der Grundlage von Benutzerpräferenzen und Arbeitslasten zu optimieren. Die Intel vPro Plattform bietet eine einzigartige KI-basierte Bedrohungserkennung für Windows-basierte Systeme, mit der Angriffe durch Ransomware und Cryptomining gestoppt werden können.

Die jüngste Generation der Intel vPro Plattform, die auf der 13. Generation der Intel Core Prozessoren basiert, bietet eine Hybridarchitektur mit neuen Leistungs-Kernen, effizienteren Kernen bei ausgewählten Angeboten und einer intelligenteren Aufgabenklassifizierung mit dem Intel Thread Director. Zudem bietet sie eine verbesserte Energieeffizienz mit der Intel Dynamic Tuning Technology. All diese Technologien sind in Verbindung mit führenden Technologien wie Intel Wi-Fi 6E (Gig+), Thunderbolt 4 und der Validierung der Intel Evo Plattform optimiert für modernes Business-Computing.

Die Intel vPro Platform ist einzigartig in der IT-Landschaft. In der Welt der Digitalisierung, in der wir uns bewegen, kann eine solche Plattform den Unterschied zwischen einem sicher operierenden und einem verwundbaren Unternehmen ausmachen.
