AMD Infinity Guard
A foundation for IT ecosystem security for a data-driven world
Together we advance
AMD Infinity Guard is a sophisticated suite of system-level security features designed for a data-driven world. Built into AMD EPYC™ processors, its state-of-the-art capabilities are designed to secure data-in-use, an increasingly popular target for bad actors.
The opportunity: Data generation is skyrocketing
Data drives revenue growth for many companies and its value has never been higher. It is also fueling the social media, AI, and collaborative applications that make our data-driven world go round.
The risk: Threats to data security are growing - and evolving
Next-generation high speed networks, AI, and cloud computing all introduce new risks and vulnerabilities to data. Bad actors have also recently focused their attacks on data-in-use, while being processed by the CPU, which has historically been an overlooked concern.
The answer: AMD Infinity guard - protect, detect, comply
Built-in at the silicon level, AMD Infinity Guard transforms server systems into a foundation of enterprise and cloud security features in a data-driven world. Its state-of-the- art capabilities help provide protective layers around data to help mitigate internal and external threats and track it for compliance purposes.
3 ways AMD infinity guard helps protect your data
1. Confidential Computing
Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV) technologies help keep data protected while it is being processed—not even cloud service providers have access. This is the basis of confidential computing—only the person or service that “owns” the data can decrypt it.
2. Shields system memory from snooping, even in the cloud
Security threats from inside an organization’s walls are a major risk. Secure Memory Encryption (SME) helps protect against attacks on the integrity of main memory from bare metal to the cloud, such as certain cold-boot attacks.
3. Boots only what you want to boot
AMD Secure Boot is designed to allow only authorized firmware to be booted. This defense-in-depth feature aims to provide a strong defense in response to growing firmware-level attacks.
