Garry Binder, Senior Security Architect, introduces the data center security landscape and current trends for a data center security strategy to protect data and platforms without compromising performance. Data in use must be protected from malicious insiders, hackers, and third parties, and this is the reason for a confidential computing-based approach. Intel is a founding member of the Confidential Computing Consortium, which is focused on securing data while it is in use and driving compatibility across the industry. Intel has developed Software Guard Extensions (Intel SGX) to help protect against software attacks, increase protections for secrets, prevent future attacks, and provide an option for hardware-based attestation. Joining the presentation is Scott Raynor, Senior Application Engineer, who discusses Intel SGX in detail, and Laura Martinez, Director of Security Marketing, who presents use cases and real-world examples of confidential computing.

Josh Hilliker, Cloud Solutions Architect, SMG Cloud TSS, introduces Intel’s vision for telemetry to enable intelligent cloud and data centers. The goal is to simplify and automate infrastructure management and reduce human involvement in day-to-day operations. Artificial intelligence can deliver intelligent infrastructure as part of a modernization process driving from monitoring and telemetry to action, control, and complete automation. The telemetry and analytics solution exposes the right metrics and provides control surfaces for infrastructure efficiency, reliability, security, and performance. Intel Telemetry Collector enables a modern autonomous data center based on telemetry from Intel Platform Monitoring Units (PMU) and Top-Down Microarchitecture Analysis Method (TMAM). This technology can be used by both cloud service providers and their customers, thanks to the Intel Telemetry Collector and tools like perf, ipmitool, and dstat. It can even be used inside containers and inside Docker. For more information, visit http://www.intel.lv/IntelTelemetry
