Intel Authenticate3.7

When working with sensitive information, such as names, addresses, social security or credit card information, just one means of logging to preview and manage the data is simply not enough for certain businesses.Intel Authenticate is a tool designed for the sixth-generation Core chips that feature the vPro technology and that enables you to add an extra layer of protection for data and the computer. More precisely, the role of the app is to improve security by using several methods of authentication in tandem.

Introduces a new approach to logging or authenticating

Thanks to the tool, now you can add several methods of authentication before allowing access to the computer for a given user, namely PIN, Bluetooth Proximity, fingerprints, face recognition and AMT Locations.The technology works differently than you are used to as it relies on a distinct approach for the two-factor authentication. Therefore, you no longer need to wait to receive a PIN or a code to enter via your phone; instead, the tool may be searching for the phone's Bluetooth signal to make sure that you are in that location.Another example on how the tech is supposed to work is the PIN which you no longer need to type using the numeric pad from your keyboard. The tool provides you with a random keypad layout and forces you to enter the numerical code via mouse or touchscreen. Therefore, unless you have a keylogger installed on your system, it can be quite difficult to access the data from a remote location.

A reliable tool that can reduce the chances of data breaches within companies

One advantage steaming from this authentication method is not employees and business owners no longer need to memorize complex passwords or use various password managers to log into their computer. Instead, the technology entails you respect a few steps in a sequence to identify the user who is entitled to use a particular machine.While there is no plan to implement Intel Authenticate to personal computers in the near future, the app can be of great value for any business that works or manages critical databases and information.
