## Frequently Asked Questions

### Which security features are built into devices with Snapdragon X Elite?

Snapdragon X Series platforms deliver multi‑layer, chip‑to‑cloud protection for some of the most secure Windows devices out‑of‑the‑box. Key features include¹:

- **Qualcomm® Secure Processing Unit with Microsoft Pluton** offers hardware‑based security that aid in safeguarding devices with multiple layers of protection in a secure execution environment.
- **Microsoft Secured-Core PC Support** enables the highest level of Windows device security.
- **Microsoft Hyper-V** enables secure, virtual environments to run multiple OS instances on the same system.
- **Optional** persistent 5G/4G/Wi‑Fi connectivity increases visibility for threat detection and response, even out of Wi‑Fi range or in low‑power states.¹
- **Layered Platform Secure Boot** — hardware root of trust with firmware validation to ensure devices start secure and stay secure.
- **Qualcomm® Trusted Execution Environment (TEE)** gives you a protected space outside the main OS for trusted code execution, working to defend against malware and rootkits.
- **Runtime Memory Encryption —** hardware‑accelerated encryption of data in memory to help protect against cold boot attacks.
- **Snapdragon Guardian Technology¹ —** always‑connected, out‑of‑band management over 5G and Wi‑Fi 7, enabling IT to locate, lock, wipe, and recover devices even when powered off.

### Can I work remotely, securely, on a device with Snapdragon X Series processors?

Devices with Snapdragon X Series processors feature cutting-edge 5G technology to ensure devices can connect to the cloud at lightning-fast speeds, lower latency, and improved network reliability. There is also support for new communication protocols, which facilitates more secure and efficient data exchange.

### How does on-device AI enhance security? 

Traditional AI processing relies on sending data to remote servers for analysis, which can raise concerns about data privacy, latency, and is contingent on internet connectivity. With on-device AI processing, sensitive data used for AI tasks—such as biometric data models that might use your voice, face, or other personal information—can remain locally stored and processed within the device. This reduces the risk of data breaches or unauthorized access during data transmission to remote cloud servers.
