What does that mean practically? What you said applies to every networked device and tech. All routers, all computers, all OSs, all voip phones, etc, etc are 'one vulnerability away'. from total compromise.
- jstanley 9y agoNormally you only run things if you think they are useful, and you are cognizant of the risk. It's very hard to avoid running ME even if you believe it's actively harmful.
- ksk 9y agoThat is a good point. I suppose you could mitigate that if you were building new systems and used AMD products.
- brndnmtthws 9y agoAMD has its own equivalent of ME also.
- xkarga00 9y agoHow do you know that AMD does not run its own version of ME? The only viable solution I see is open hardware.
- ksk 9y agoWhat does viable mean? Where can I go out and purchase it? Yes, hypothetically, anything is possible.
- xkarga00 9y agoviable == introspectable
- kbenson 9y agoMitigation does not necessarily mean to entirely protect. Having less of a homogeneous ecosystem mitigates the risk of any one vulnerability, as it's unlikely to affect as many systems. It's not a solution, but it may help.
