It is fair to say that as one security gap is closed, others are discovered and exploited. In most cases data is the main target of any attack - either attempting to steal it or disrupt access to it - so it is paramount that data is protected wherever it is found on the network and within any servers too.
Data, especially in virtualised environments - can be especially vulnerable. AMD EPYC processors are designed with a sophisticated suite of security technologies called AMD Infinity Guard that addresses these vulnerabilities to help improve data integrity.
Dedicated cores authenticate the BIOS without corruption, validating code before it is executed to help ensure data and application integrity, helping the system establish an unbroken chain of trust from the BIOS to the OS Bootloader.
SME uses 128-bit AES encryption integrated into each of the eight memory controllers found in AMD EPYC processors. This helps protect against attacks on the integrity of main memory because it encrypts the data without modifications to application software.
SEV, within AMD EPYC processors helps safeguard privacy and integrity by encrypting each virtual machine or container with one of up to 509 unique encryption keys known only to the AMD Secure Processor.
