DeepSafe

I keep getting asked for comments on McAfee/Intel’s new Deepsafe. So what the heck, here goes.

This is a great marketing pitch.  But remember that the platform that the technology is based upon, Intel VTx, is an open archictecture that any antivirus company can use.  McAfee is innovating but I truly doubt it’s because of any proprietary relationship with Intel. 

I just don’t think there is any secret sauce here.  This stuff is available to us all, and if it makes sense to use it, we will.
