Editor's Notes
- #2 Intel IT is currently evaluating the information security and privacy protection features of Intel® architecture-based tablets running Windows* 8 Enterprise.1 Our initial evaluations indicate that, together, Windows 8 and Intel® architecture provide a compelling platform for mobile devices in the enterprise, balancing enhanced information security capabilities with consumer-friendliness. We evaluated both an Intel® Atom™ processor-based tablet and an Intel® Core™ vPro™ processor-based tablet.This slide deck presents our findings.Take-aways:Tablets running on Intel® architecture with Microsoft Windows 8 Enterprise are both enterprise-ready and consumer-friendly.Intel IT benefits from enhanced device management and information security capabilities.Employees benefit from improved user experience.1 We tested Windows* 8 Enterprise. Other versions of Windows 8, such as Windows 8 Professional, will be made available to certain segments of Intel employees. For a discussion of Windows 8 Enterprise, refer to microsoft.com/en-us/windows/enterprise/products-and-technologies/windows-8/enterprise-edition.aspx.
- #4 This section: Provide background/motivation
- #5 Slide purpose: Set the stage for the evaluation.Since 2009, Intel IT has supported consumerization through our bring-your-own-device (BYOD) programs. To further these programs, we continually look for devices that increase employee productivity and can be managed as needed in the corporate environment. In preparation for the expansion of our support for consumerization, we evaluated two tablets for the enterprise, focusing on information security and manageability features and the benefits of these features within the enterprise environment.Our evaluation of Intel® architecture-based tablets running Windows* 8 is part of Intel IT’s ongoing research into new combinations of technology that balance employee productivity and job satisfaction, IT cost control, and manage risk to enterprise security.
- #6 Slide purpose: Describe what we testedWe tested Windows 8 running on two tablets with Intel® processors.A tablet with an Intel® Atom™ processorA tablet with a 3rd generation Intel® Core® vPro™ processorSpecifically, we investigated capabilities that would enhance information security associated with small form factor (SFF) devices. We also performed a baseline comparison to existing SFF solutions in the areas of device hardware security, OS-level security features, and application ecosystem security.Our approach involved an ecosystem review and a hands-on product evaluation. The ecosystem review gave us information about available products and solutions, while the hands-on testing allowed us to validate that the solutions provided the capabilities we need and improvements over existing solutions that have been implemented.
- #14 Slide purpose: Briefly discuss what we will do with the results of our evaluation.Based on the positive results of our evaluation, we intend to conduct several proofs of concept of both bring-your-own device and corporate-purchased Intel® architecture-based tablets running Windows* 8. We also plan to continue to investigate the capabilities of biometrics, and their corresponding privacy implications, in our security environment.
- #15 This slide represents the summary of the presentation.Based on an ecosystem review and a hands-on product evaluation, we determined that Intel® architecture-based tablets running Windows* 8 can enhance information security associated with devices with small form factors.We tested Windows 8 on Intel® architecture-based tablets and found security enhancements in four categories: flexible device management, hardware-assisted security through Intel® Identity Protection Technology, support for desktop/legacy enterprise applications, and the availability of Intel® Anti-Theft Technology. Overall, the tablets we tested balanced enterprise readiness with consumer-friendliness, with the Intel® Core™ vPro™ processor-based tablets offering the most security and manageability benefits to both the enterprise and users.
- #17 Slide purpose: promote the Annual Performance Report (APR)Talking Points:Every year over the past 10 years, our organization has taken the time to document our operations, strategies, and business value in an annual performance report for our organization.Over the past decade this document has helped communicate those priorities widely to many audiences.Inside our own IT organization and our IT employees showing them their impact to the business Inside our own business to our business stakeholders showing them the value of what we have done and how we have helped improved business value for IntelFinally, with the world and our peer IT organizations. We have found that by openly sharing what we are doing, we establish a dialogue that is mutually beneficial for our own organization , informally benchmarking and sharing key lessons, best practices and strategies while also helping to better understand and shape the direction of the industry through these partnershipsWe publish this document yearly, in January.
