Intel’s considered acquisition of McAfee will see the implant of security at the CPU layer turn into the industry standard, as per to company report IBRS. IBRS consultant, James Turner, stated the gaining materialize to be part of a lasting, well idea out plan which deal with the growing security defy posed by virtualization.
“Intel has seen the prospect and they’ve realize that client hypervisors on desktops and servers are going to become the standard so what they’re doing is they’re taking a strategy to help inject security even at a lower level down stack and that’s why they’re going after McAfee,” Turner said.

“The next thing that’s going to occur after you get virtual machines all over the position, whether it’s virtual desktop or a virtual sever, is you’re going to start receiving safety attacks going after virtual machines, put in themselves in between a virtual machine and the hardware and so it makes sense to start getting the safety in at that level now… That’s what I think Intel’s doing straight, they’re bringing on McAfee so they can begin embedding this into chips.”
