The new capabilities are application isolation, VM and container isolation, full memory encryption, and Intel platform firmware resilience. These capabilities are aimed at narrowing the attack surface, isolating virtual environments from each other, bolstering protection against physical memory attacks, and improving firmware security. Intel also gave more information about the Compute Lifecycle Assurance Initiative, the company announced in December 2019. The purpose of this initiative is to safeguard platform supply chains.
