• System Defense 2. In addition to the in-bound and out-bound packet filtering of
the previous generation, System Defense 2 is an Intel AMT feature that uses
advanced heuristics to help protect against the propagation of worms through the
use of preset packet filters. The number of new connections made to a specific
port or IP address are counted over a specific time window. If a preset threshold is
exceeded, it will alert the Management Console and suspend the client’s network
activity until the system can be remediated.
• Remote Configuration (RCFG) minimizes the cost to deploy Intel AMT by
eliminating the need for IT personnel to touch each client system prior to
configuration. Remote Configuration consists of a single OEM BIOS/Firmware
image that provides the Intel AMT client with information to authenticate
connections and allows it to remotely perform a secure setup procedure. IT
departments must acquire an appropriate Intel AMT-trusted certificate as well as
use a remote management application that supports Remote Configuration.
Remote Configuration also requires the use of automatic IP addressing (DHCP).
