Infected Notebooks? Quarantine Fast
Posted by in Security
It's the nightmare of the data center manager – the remote employee surfs in one too many unprotected places, or opens that email that shouldn't have been, and drags home a virus that can wipe out the data center.
It doesn't have to be that way. Intel has a cool little tutorial on how to quarantine the suspected laptop before harm comes to the entire data center. I will warn you that the tutorial comes with quite a bit of hype for the Intel Centrino Pro Processor, but the stuff in between is worth a quick read. Visit the Intel web site and scroll past the top advertisement for the guide.
