Overview

Comodo in collaboration with Intel® has developed Pro-Series SSL Certificates specifically designed for use with PCs based on Intel® Active Management Technology, a feature of Intel® vPro™ processor technology-based PCs and Intel® Centrino Pro processor technology-based notebooks, to provide secure out-of-band remote system management.

Intel® vPro™ processor technology-based PCs and Intel® Centrino Pro processor technology-based notebooks feature a unique management-enabling technology called Intel® Active Management Technology. It includes dedicated memory, communications channel and isolation hardware that allows authorized IT technicians to remotely access networked Intel® vPro™ processor technology-based PCs and Intel® Centrino Pro processor technology-based notebooks, regardless of the state of the OS or even in a powered-off condition.

This unique feature allows administrators to remotely view their hardware and software assets to ascertain information such as operating system status, patch management or the upgrade level of each machine. In the event that something goes wrong, IT administrators can use Intel® vPro™ processor technology and Intel® Centrino Pro processor technology to reduce expensive desk-side visits and even to identify and diagnose potential problems before they cause a failure.

Intel® has embedded Comodo's public Root Certificate into Intel® vPro™ processor technology and Intel® Centrino Pro processor technology firmware. With a Comodo Pro-Series certificate on their setup and configuration server, IT Departments can now create a trusted and secure connection to their user's machines.

Comodo will continue to work with Intel® to maintain, develop and provision Pro SSL Certificates so that software developers can continue to rely on the proven security, robustness and reliability of platforms enabled with Intel® vPro™ processor technology-based PCs and Intel® Centrino Pro processor technology-based notebooks.
