Hands-On Lab: 10:45 -11:45 am AP L02: Eliminate Network Attacks during Remote Software Deployment
Abstract: Protecting networks and PCs from potential threats is a full-time job; however, Intel® vPro^TM^ technology can help IT administrators streamline the process and better protect clients and block network access. Network filtering software is commonly used to protect the network from a client, or protect the client from a potential threat on the network. Intel vPro technology enables IT administrators to easily deploy software without making a deskside visit and even though the filter is engaged, the Notification Server can still manage the client. During this lab, attendees will learn how to deliver software and update the client while the network filters are engaged. Instructors: John Dickensheets (ITS), Terry Cutler (Intel), Lee Bender (Symantec)
