Intel Unveils vPro for 13th Gen Core Series: Enhanced Security For Raptor Lake

In a world that has seen various security breaches at several top companies and supposedly secure companies through hackers and exploiters, the onus isn't only on software developers to keep users and businesses safe but also at the hardware level. In contrast, hardware vendors have different levels of platforms for users, workstations, servers, and whatnot; Intel's key and integrated security platform for desktops is called vPro. Intel's vPro platform isn't a new feature for their desktop and mobile platforms. Still, as ransomware and malware become more sophisticated, the underlying technologies within the platform designed to protect valuable data must also keep up.

Every time Intel launches a new desktop or mobile platform, they typically roll out an updated Intel vPro platform to match, and their 13th Gen Core series is no different. Designed to offer updated hardware-level securities to their existing 13th Gen Core series SKUs, Intel also has a new initiative that they are calling 'Ready for Refresh,' where through an in-house commissioned analysis, vPro users looking to upgrade can save up to 14% on the 5-year cost of operations per PC. Intel's 13th Gen vPro also claims up to 93% efficacy in detecting ransomware attacks in real-time through its new Intel Threat Detection technology and promising users and businesses a smooth transition to Microsoft's Windows 11 from the previous Windows 10 operating system.
