Overview
Intel Active Management Technology (Intel
®
AMT) combines hardware and soft-
ware solution to provide maximum system defense and protection to networked
systems.
The hardware and software information are stored in non-volatile memory. With
its built-in manageability and latest security applications, Intel
®
AMT provides the
following functions.
• Discover
Allows remote access and management of networked systems even while PCs
are powered off; significantly reducing desk-side visits.
• Repair
Remotely repair systems after OS failures. Alerting and event logging help
detect problems quickly to reduce downtime.
• Protect
Intel AMT’s System Defense capability remotely updates all systems with the
latest security software. It protects the network from threats at the source
by proactively blocking incoming threats, reactively containing infected clients
before they impact the network, and proactively alerting when critical soft-
ware agents are removed.
