Intel Forms Product Assurance and Security Group amid Meltdown and Spectre Fallout

 

In response to the Meltdown and Spectre exploits that potentially affect all CPUs released in the recent years, Intel on Monday created a new group that will focus on product assurance and security. The group will be headed by an Intel veteran, but its exact tactical and strategic goals remain unclear.

"It is critical that we continue to work with the industry, to excel at customer satisfaction, to act with uncompromising integrity, and to achieve the highest standards of excellences," Brian Krzanich told employees in an email obtained by The Oregonian/OregonLive. "Simply put, I want to ensure we continue to respond appropriately, diligently, and with a customer-first attitude."

Intel reorganizes amid tumult over computer chip flaw

"Security is Job No. 1 for Intel and our industry," Intel CEO Brian Krzanich said during his keynote address Monday night at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

Intel chief executive Brian Krzanich told employees Monday that he will create a new internal security group, a week after news leaked about a major flaw in computer microprocessors.

In a sign of the fresh importance Intel is placing on security, Krzanich reassigned several top executives to the new organization. The changes, effective immediately, came just ahead of Krzanich's keynote address Monday night to the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

"It is critical that we continue to work with the industry, to excel at customer satisfaction, to act with uncompromising integrity, and to achieve the highest standards of excellences," Krzanich told employees in a memo Monday, obtained by The Oregonian/OregonLive. "Simply put, I want to ensure we continue to respond appropriately, diligently, and with a customer-first attitude."

Intel did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
