It also describes a proof-of-concept implementation of this approach using the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ami.com\/products\/tektagon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AMI TruE\u00ae Platform Security Solution<\/a>\u00a0from AMI. This proof-of-concept is intended to be a blueprint or template for the general security community to follow in data center and enterprise cloud environments. The publication is targeted towards security professionals, system administrators and other information technology (IT) professionals for cloud service providers along with hardware, firmware, and software developers and is now available on the NIST and National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) websites at the following locations:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/csrc.nist.gov\/publications\/detail\/nistir\/8320a\/draft\">https:\/\/csrc.nist.gov\/publications\/detail\/nistir\/8320a\/draft<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/csrc.nist.gov\/news\/2020\/draft-nistir-8320a-safeguarding-containers\">https:\/\/csrc.nist.gov\/news\/2020\/draft-nistir-8320a-safeguarding-containers<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nccoe.nist.gov\/projects\/building-blocks\/trusted-cloud\">https:\/\/www.nccoe.nist.gov\/projects\/building-blocks\/trusted-cloud<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nccoe.nist.gov\/news\/announcements\">https:\/\/www.nccoe.nist.gov\/news\/announcements<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Stefano Righi, Vice President of Global Software, Security Engineering &amp; Services at AMI, commented that \u201cAs platforms operating in data center and enterprise environments become more complex and more onboard components require their own firmware, the need to verify and secure platform firmware and software has never been more important. And with security threats becoming more widespread at the firmware level, cloud providers must be able to ensure the integrity of platform firmware from installation and bootup to ensure their tenants\u2019 security concerns are satisfied. Both cloud providers and tenants require assurance that all platforms in the data center are secure, and this Interagency Report document outlines a simple and effective hardware-enabled security solution with AMI TruE to do so.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo meet the growing need for firmware-level security, the AMI TruE Platform Security Solution from AMI delivers holistic datacenter security solutions using Intel\u00ae Security Technologies and Intel\u00ae Security Libraries for Data Centers to provide a true trusted environment for cloud execution in the enterprise and data center,\u201d said Joseprabu Inbaraj, Senior Director of Marketing at AMI. \u201cWe are pleased to have this opportunity to collaborate with security thought leaders once again to develop a prototype approach using AMI TruE that will help meet this expanding threat and we look forward to see how the industry will adopt it going forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the AMI TruE Platform Security Solution, please contact AMI via\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ami.com\/contact\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ami.com\/contact<\/a>\u00a0or call\u00a0<strong>1-800-828-9264<\/strong>\u00a0to speak with an AMI Security Solutions Expert.<\/p>\n<p><em>About NCCoE<\/em><br \/>\nThe National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology addresses businesses\u2019 most pressing cybersecurity problems with practical, standards-based solutions using commercially available technologies.
