If you do a quick search on the impact or ransomware today, you will find various reports stating that it causes over $20 billion in damages every year. Now, more than ever, advances in detection technologies are needed to help prevent ransomware from getting a foothold on systems. Enter Intel Threat Detection Technology (TDT).
Intel® Threat Detection Technology is a suite of technologies that adds a hardware-assisted detection layer to security solutions, raising the barrier against advanced threats. Intel TDT is a key feature of the Intel vPro platform which makes profiling and detection possible across the entire device stack. Intel TDT uses a combination of CPU telemetry and ML heuristics to detect attack-behavior. It detects ransomware, cryptojacking, and other threats that leave a footprint on Intel CPU performance monitoring unit (PMU).
Our guest today is Ram Chary who leads the development of TDT at Intel. Tune in as Ram explains how TDT works at the CPU microarchitectural level and how security vendors can integrate this advanced technology to address these types of threats.
