Five reasons why AMD INFINITY GUARD is critical to security

AMD EPYC processors bring more choices to customers for more workloads. The continuous enhancements to the EPYC system-on-chip (SoC) design redefine performance, security features, and total cost of ownership (TCO), helping IT professionals achieve faster time-to-performance and better business results.

The security design of EPYC is of utmost importance. The AMD EPYC processor is designed with a set of sophisticated security technologies called AMD Infinity Guard. [1] AMD Infinity Guard is built into the chip to help customers protect their most important asset: data.

Five reasons why AMD INFINITY GUARD is critical to security:

Modern Approach

Its installed capabilities are designed to be highly resistant to sophisticated attacks, from BIOS manipulation to return-oriented programming (ROP) attacks in memory and malicious hypervisor attacks on virtualization. AMD Infinity Guard is also a useful complement to many ecosystem software and hardware solutions.

Safety cornerstone

Helps reduce malware through the AMD EPYC hardware "Root of Trust," an embedded security checkpoint designed to verify that the initial BIOS software is not corrupted when it boots.

Hardware-based encryption

Helps protect against insider and physical attacks, such as certain cold boot attacks. With full memory encryption, data remains encrypted even if memory is physically removed from the server.

Confidential Computing

Encrypts the memory data of each virtual machine . This helps to protect the confidentiality of your data, even if a malicious virtual machine enters your virtual machine memory.

Rapid deployment

Quickly leverage security features. AMD Infinity Guard is designed to integrate seamlessly with x86 applications—no code modifications are required to use it.
