Secure computing with the TPM 2.0 solution from Gigabyte.

These days, security is at the forefront of everyone's mind. With cybercriminals actively trying to steal your financial and personal information, you need to do everything you can to protect yourself. While many users rely on antivirus programmes and other software measures, complete security requires a hardware-based security solution. This is especially important for employees such as accountants or insurance agents who handle the personal information of many people.

Fortunately, there is a solution to keep your data safe: a Trusted Platform Module (TPM).

The TPM adds an extra layer of security and is a discrete cryptographic processor attached to a daughterboard that plugs into the motherboard. The TPM securely stores your cryptographic key, which can be created using encryption software such as Windows BitLocker. Without this key, the contents of your PC remain encrypted and protected from unauthorised access. This means that the data on your PC is not only safe from external software threats, but also from physical theft when you use a TPM.

The Gigabyte TPM GC-TPM2.0 SPI V2 features the SLB9672, an advanced 2048-bit cryptographic processor from Infineon. The SLB9672 fulfils all current industry standards, including TPM 2.0 and Common Criteria (EAL4+). This processor creates a military-grade encryption key that allows you to encrypt your hard drive with Windows BitLocker and verify your identity online for tasks such as online banking.

The GC-TPM2.0 SPI V2 is compatible with Gigabyte motherboards that have a TPM port, including Intel platforms (Intel 700, 600, 500, 400 series, Z390 M Gaming) and AMD platforms (AMD X670, B650, GA-AB350M-DASH).
