Security is obviously another important topic, and AMD follows a different philosophy compared to its big rival Intel. While only some (usually more expensive) Intel CPUs are available with the vPro technology, all AMD Ryzen Pro models are equipped with all security features by default. It was also important for AMD reps to make sure that the security is not an additional feature when you choose AMD.

Similar to the performance features, AMD sums up all the security features under the term GuardMI. This includes things like memory encryption, secure boot, and the support for fTPM/TPM 2.0 (also see following slides).
