Chapter 7 - Intel AMT Settings
Overview
Intel Active Management Technology (Intel
®
AMT) combines hardware and software 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 software agents are removed.
