Data Guard

In addition to Intel Authenticate, businesses will also have access to Data Guard with the sixth and seventh-gen vPro processors.

Data Guard offers hardened IT-controlled protection to encrypt documents, whether on the PC, USB drive or cloud.

"We've seen a trend toward nearly persistent levels of attacks on enterprises around the world," said Intel's Garrison. "With vPro, businesses don't need to be an expert in protecting against these types of attacks because the security is built into the platform."

This new feature will be available for trial in the first quarter of 2017.
