Gigabyte TPM-Module hardware security chip

In today's computing environment, security threats such as viruses, worms, trojan attacks, malicious hacking and data/identity theft, etc. are not only happening more frequently, but the cost to victims of such attacks are also on the rise. While software solutions are able to protect data to a certain degree, a higher level of security measures is needed to ensure you do not become the next victim.

That is where a hardware based solution such as TPM (Trusted Platform Module) technology can help. Trusted Platform Modules are hardware based security microcontrollers that store keys, passwords and digital certificates and protects this data from external software attacks and physical theft.
