Symantec Corp. worked with Intel Corp. to build security solutions for the Intel vPro technology, which manages security threats outside the main PC operating system. The idea is that vPro provides an isolated virtual environment within which Symantec´s security solutions are more tamper-resistant and able to remain on at all times. The security functionality operates in a secure environment separate from the operating system, where issues with the operating system do not affect it. In the event malware is successful in infecting a desktop environment, the virtual security solution of Symantec contains the threat on that particular desktop, isolating it from other network resources
