It’s been a while coming, but it looks like PCs with Microsoft’s Pluton security processor are just around the corner<\/a>. So long as your silicon of choice comes from AMD, for the time being at least.<\/p>\n

Pluton was first announced in 2020<\/a> and is rooted in anti-piracy protection developed for Microsoft’s Xbox console some years previously as well as work done for Azure Sphere. The shipping incarnation can be configured three ways, according to Microsoft. As the Trusted Platform Module (TPM), as a security processor for non-TPM scenarios (Microsoft cites platform resiliency) or just turned off by an OEM.<\/p>\n

Going beyond TPM, Microsoft suggested scenarios for the tech to provide greater visibility into the state of the platform with signals being reported back to Intune and Azure Attestation Service in the future.<\/p>\n
