Next-Level Security, Chip to Cloud
From silicon to software, from factory to cloud, and from generation to generation, HPE ProLiant Compute Gen12 is engineered with a fundamental security approach to defend against increasingly complex threats through an uncompromising commitment to constant security advancements.
Silicon root of trust by HPE, establishes a zero-trust security framework at the silicon level to ensure firmware integrity. Continuous protection detects compromised servers and prevents them from booting if malicious code is found. Edge servers are safeguarded with default IDevID certificates.
HPE ProLiant Compute servers provide automated recovery from a security event, including restoration of validated firmware, and facilitating recovery of operating system, application and data connections, providing the fastest path to bring a server back online and into normal operations.
Intel® Xeon® 6 processors add hardware- and software-assisted security features like such as Intel® Software Guard Extensions (SGX) for application isolation and Trusted Domain Extensions (TDX) for VM isolation, which help protect the server hardware foundation and safeguard data in memory.
HPE iLO 7 supports quantum-resistant (PQC) algorithms and signs HPE ProLiant Compute Gen12 firmware with algorithms approved by CNSA 2.0, which enhances resilience against potential future attacks by quantum computers.
