Intel Authenticate is a hardware-enhanced identity protection solution designed to drastically reduce corporate data breaches by anchoring multi-factor authentication (MFA) directly into computer silicon. By executing and storing security factors beneath the operating system layer, it effectively shields sensitive employee credentials from sophisticated, software-based malware and hacking attempts. The Core Problem: Software Vulnerability
Traditional, software-only security measures are no longer enough to stop modern cyber threats. Over half of all corporate data breaches begin with stolen or misused user credentials. If your company relies solely on software-level passwords or MFA apps, an attacker who infects the operating system can easily capture those credentials using keyloggers, memory scraping, or file-less attacks. Why Your Business Needs Intel Authenticate
+——————————————————–+ | OPERATING SYSTEM LAYER | | (Vulnerable to Malware, Keyloggers, Phishing) | +——————————————————–+ || Blocked Access / +========================================================+ | HARDWARE SILICON LAYER | | [ Intel Authenticate: Hardened MFA & PIN / Biometrics] | +========================================================+
Rooted in Silicon Protection: It migrates security decisions, cryptographic keys, and IT policies from the vulnerable OS layer down to protected hardware.
True Multi-Factor Authentication: It verifies user identity by simultaneously evaluating up to three hardened, customizable factors: Something you know: A personal identification number (PIN).
Something you have: An encrypted token or a proximate mobile device.
Something you are: Biometrics like fingerprint or facial recognition.
Defends Against Sophisticated Malware: Because the credential verification happens in an isolated hardware vault, software-based malware running on the main OS cannot intercept or steal corporate login data.
Simplifies the Employee Experience: Employees no longer have to memorize complex, 15-character passwords that change every 90 days. Instead, they can use quick PINs and biometric scans to seamlessly handle OS login, VPN access, and walk-away locking.
Streamlined Enterprise Deployment: It integrates directly with existing IT infrastructure tools like Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) and Active Directory Group Policy Objects (GPOs). Key Capabilities At a Glance
