Recently, Intel announced at CES 2021 that they have come up with hardware-based ransomware detection and have added it to their newly announced 11th generation Core vPro business-class processors. 

These hardware-based detections are accomplished using Intel Threat Detection Technology (Intel TDT) and Hardware Shield that run directly on the CPU underneath the operating system and firmware layers. 

It is a built-in security feature that out-of-the-box security protections directly to the CPU hardware, such as: 

• Helping to prevent malicious code injection by restricting memory access in the BIOS at runtime. 
• Dynamically launching the OS and hypervisor in an Intel® hardware–secured code environment inaccessible from firmware. This technique also helps verify that the operating system and its virtual environment are running directly on Intel hardware, as opposed to malware that is spoofing the hardware. 
• Providing operating system visibility into the BIOS- and firmware-protection methods used at boot time. 

Intel TDT uses hardware telemetry to detect file less malware, crypto mining, polymorphic malware, and ransomware in real-time based on CPU metrics and behavioral detections.  

When a threat is discovered, TDT will send signals to security software integrated with the platform to alert it of the threat. 

Intel TDT also allows security software to offload memory scans to the onboard Intel graphics engine for better performance. 

As these features run directly on the CPU and run below any software, including the BIOS and firmware, it prevents malware from hiding from the hardware security features. 

So, if your system got affected by Ransomware then you don’t need to get worry for the loss of data because IT Company has strived to make their solution the easiest way to backup, store and share your files online.

2020 has been a nightmare for most of us and unfortunately the start of new year gave us another sad news. We are no longer to use Adobe Flash as we enter 2021, it is good news for a lot of users. As it entails a lot risks that came along with Flash.

From the past many years, we have been seeing vulnerabilities impacting Flash player. It has always been subject to hacking by cybercriminals and other nation-state hacking groups. Such hackers have always been able to install malware, execute malicious codes and gaining access to user’s computer.

The final demise of Adobe’s multimedia software platform is not a shocking news for us.

As it was first revealed in a corresponding announcement from Apple, Adobe, Facebook, Google, and Mozilla in July 2017.

This decision was initially taken because of the decreasing number of people using this platform. Another most important reason is because of the vulnerabilities attached to it.

As we know that more secure and better performing open tech platforms are available such as. HTML5, WebGL and WebAssembly.

Adobe Flash Player’s death is good news given the fact that it will drastically reduce the cyber-attacks threats actors can use to hack into web browsers and operating systems.

Microsoft said that customers will still want to use this service can run such software solutions in enterprise environments using dedicated Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer plug-ins.
