Intel Plays an Active Role in Sharing and Gathering Insights from the Community to Advance Security across Intel’s Platform Portfolio

I continue to be amazed by the power of what a community can achieve together – from developers contributing to open source projects for solving real-world business or social-economic problems, to industry consortia aligning and setting standards and policies on the forefront of emerging technologies. Nothing demonstrates the power of the community more than industrywide events such as the recent Cyber Week. It was a great example of the community coming together to share insights and discuss solutions to issues facing the public and private sectors of every company, city and country in the world today. We all have a role to play.

More: Intel Security News

Intel has been very clear about making the security assurance of our Intel products a priority. Our role is broader than assurance alone. We hold a unique position in the digital ecosystem, designing and protecting the hardware that is the root of trust. Intel powers everything ranging from the endpoint to the cloud, and we have both an opportunity and a responsibility to help simplify security for tens of thousands of hardware, software and service providers, as well as billions of people using these products and services every day.

Active Participation in the Security Community

Listening to the community at events like Cyber Week is critical. It helps inform Intel on emergent trends and particular problems facing industry segments. We are able to apply those insights and learnings back to our product development so we can deliver differentiating features and capabilities required to provide valuable security solutions across the Intel platform portfolio.

We have been making tremendous progress with our approach. Intel and ecosystem partners are advancing security across the emerging, data-centric workloads of artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain. Collaborations with Docker*, Duality* and Fortanix* are helping secure data in AI implementations. Companies like Enigma* and the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange* are investing in Intel processor technologies to help improve the security, scalability and privacy of distributed ledger networks.

Advancing Our Strategy

To continue that momentum, I am pleased to share that Window Snyder is joining Intel, in the Software and Services Group, as chief software security officer, vice president and general manager of the Intel Platform Security Division, effective July 9.

Window is an industry veteran who comes to us from Fastly*, where she has been the chief security officer. Before that, she spent over five years working on security and privacy strategy at Apple* and was the “Chief Security Something-or-Other” at Mozilla. She was also a founding member at Matasano*, a services company, and a senior security strategist at Microsoft*.

In this role with Intel, Window will be responsible for ensuring the company maintains a competitive security product roadmap across all segments in support of business group objectives and continues to engage with the external security ecosystem to apply industry trends and sensing to Intel roadmap differentiation.

More specifically, this involves leading the following areas across Intel:

Industry sensing and response: Driving partnerships with the operating system and security ecosystem to ensure we are better informed on the growing complexity of attacks and to help guide our approach and response.

Applying industry sensing for differentiation: Applying industry sensing to our roadmap to deliver differentiated security capabilities to secure data, workloads and other assets based on Intel platforms.

Customer-centric route to market: Driving a two-pronged approach to market by partnering with the security ecosystem and the developer ecosystem to drive scale for security.

I am looking forward to Window leveraging her experience in the community and bringing further valuable industry insight into Intel’s hardware-enabled security solutions.

Doug Fisher,
Senior vice president and general manager of the Software and Services Group for Intel Corporation

Corporate Security Solution

It wasn't until I told them how many millions they would lose by keeping all the art work on a USB drive with no offsite backup did they invest in a damn tape drive. Baby steps.

That made me so facepalm. Some people have absolutely no clue. I hope they don't take you for granted with all this you're doing for them.

SonicWall is a good security product, so Mindweaver's suggestion sounds like a good one and should make for a rather bigger baby step. Let's hope they take it.

Tips for securing your identity against cybersecurity threats

Introducing new video on best practices from the Microsoft Cyber Defense Operations Center

Ask any CISO or cybersecurity professional about their greatest security challenge, and it’s a good chance the answer will be “the actions of our people.”While virtually all employees, contractors, and partners have the best of intentions, the fact is that protecting their online credentials, identifying and avoiding phishing scams, and evading cybercriminals is getting more difficult each day. More of our time each day is spent online, and as more financial transactions and social activities are conducted online, adversaries are becoming ever-more sophisticated in their cyberattacks.

Microsoft faces these same threats, and we have made deep investments in training our people to be more aware and diligent in the face of such dangers. Our cybersecurity success depends on our customers’ trust in our products and services, and their confidence that they can be safe on the internet. To help keep our customers and the global online community safe, we want to share some of our Cyber Defense Operations Center’s best practices for in this video.

In this video, we discuss some best practices around securing your identity, such as avoiding social engineering scams that trick people into giving up their most sensitive secrets, recognizing phishing emails that falsely represent legitimate communications, and how to spot false impersonations of your trusted colleagues or friends. We also discuss some of the types of information you don’t want to share broadly (i.e. credentials, financial information and passwords), and tips for protecting your sensitive data.Some cybersecurity tips that we discuss include:

Be vigilant against phishing emails

Be cautious when sharing sensitive information

Don’t automatically trust emails from people you know, it may not be from them

Keep your software up-to-date

Please take a few minutes to and share it with your colleagues, friends and family. We all need to be diligent in the face of this growing and ever-more sophisticated threat. And check back next week for our second video on , and in two weeks, we will share more on on the Microsoft Secure blog.
