Entrust has added SSL certificates for Intel Core vPro processors to its large portfolio of digital certificate offerings. This new capability, core to an identity-based security approach, will allow Intel Core vPro Technology customers to use encrypted access to enable remote maintenance of enterprise PCs.

Entrust SSL Certificates for Intel Core vPro processors are purchased by enterprises or organizations to authenticate IT staff to more securely administer any PC using Intel Core vPro technology on a corporate network — even when the machine is turned off or disabled — for maintenance and other necessary tasks.

Thanks to the embedded roots and the deployed SSL certificate, the channel between the networked machine and the administrator is encrypted.

Intel will embed Entrust certificates in the latest 5th Generation Intel Core vPro processors and chipsets.

Entrust Certificate Services, which also offers customers services for discovering and managing digital certificates, drives the company's leadership and innovation in this space. More than 98 percent of all Certificate Management Service (CMS) customers renew their subscription to the service.

Entrust assists organizations in discovering and managing the digital certificates deployed within their environment — regardless of type or the issuing vendor. By identifying and evaluating deployed digital certificates, Entrust Discovery helps organizations avoid compliance ramifications, costly outages or even losses from data.

Entrust offers a comprehensive portfolio of today's most-used digital certificates, including basic SSL certificates, more advanced EV multi-domain SSL certificates, or specialty certificates for secure e-mail and Adobe PDFs.
