Today at the 2017 RSA Conference, Intel unveiled additional components of its strategy for securing the data center. In a presentation titled “Protecting Cryptographic Applications with Intel® Software Guard Extensions,” Simon Johnson, SGX program architect at Intel, presented the reasons why an effective security strategy is built on a foundation of trust rooted in hardware, and why it requires technologies that protect the data through all of its phases: at-rest, in-flight and in-use.
In the presentation, Intel announced its industry-leading cryptographic isolation technology is now available for data center usages. Deploying Intel® Software Guard Extensions (Intel® SGX) to the data center allows application developers to protect select code and data from disclosure or modification. A blog, “Intel® Software Guard Extensions Now Available for the Data Center,” highlights Intel’s hardware-based security technologies.
