• System Defense 2. In addition to the in-bound and out-bound packet filtering of
the previous generation, System Defense 2 is an Intel AMT feature that uses
advanced heuristics to help protect against the propagation of worms through the
use of preset packet filters. The number of new connections made to a specific
port or IP address are counted over a specific time window. If a preset threshold is
exceeded, it will alert the Management Console and suspend the client’s network
activity until the system can be remediated.
• Remote Configuration minimizes the cost to deploy Intel AMT by eliminating the
need for IT personnel to touch each client system prior to configuration. Remote
Configuration consists of a single OEM BIOS/Firmware image that provides the
Intel AMT client with information to authenticate connections and allows it to
remotely perform a secure setup procedure. IT departments must acquire an
appropriate Intel AMT-trusted certificate as well as use a remote management
application that supports Remote Configuration. Remote Configuration also
requires the use of automatic IP addressing (DHCP).
