TPM 2.0 : Your Data Safeguard

You may often hear about Trusted Platform Module (TPM) as a security feature for computers, but you may not know what it is or why it is useful.

Trusted Computing Group (TCG) introduced TPM in 2009. It has been updated over the years, and its most recent release is TPM 2.0, which was released in 2014.

What is TPM?

The TPM is a chip that’s part of your computer’s motherboard. This chip provides hardware-based authentication and tamper detection, so an attacker can’t attempt to remove the chip and place it on another motherboard, or tamper with the motherboard itself to attempt to bypass the encryption.

What does a TPM do?

TPM chip uses a mix of software and hardware to protect any important passwords or encryption keys when they are sent in the unencrypted form. In this way, it ensures that no unintended users gain access to your data by either stealing your computer or hard drive or via a software attack.

What can you do with a TPM?

TPM can be used in high-risk industrial devices. It prevents hackers from getting sensitive data about your business, and it also prevents them from manipulating or freezing your devices.

In the business commercial industry, TPM is important for protecting customer data. It can provide an extra level of security if your computer is stolen or lost and it protects your IT infrastructure from unauthorized users.
