SECURITY
Engineered for Security. Built for Business.
Security
Security that starts at the silicon
Protecting the enterprise starts with safeguarding its workforce. Help prevent advanced threats and data breaches with multi‑layer, chip‑to‑cloud security and on‑device AI that is designed to defend from the hardware up.
Protect your data through localization
Limit the potential for tracking, manipulating, or stealing end-user data. On-device AI processing isn’t just faster and more responsive—it reduces the risks around transferring, storing, and using AI in the cloud.
Built-in security for peace of mind
Snapdragon® X Series processors power some of the most secure Windows devices out-of-the-box. Multi-layer, chip-to-cloud protection includes the Qualcomm® Secure Processing Unit with Microsoft Pluton security architecture, plus Zero Trust-ready sensors for location, identity, biometric authentication, and device-health monitoring.
Safeguard your business with smart PCs
PCs powered by Snapdragon X Series feature built-in resilience to enable detection, protection, and recovery from firmware and BIOS attacks as a first line of defense. Optional 5G and Wi-Fi 7 help reduce exposure to unsecured networks.1
Control and recover devices from anywhere
Snapdragon Guardian Technology1 enables always‑connected, out‑of‑band device management over 5G and Wi‑Fi 7. IT teams can locate, lock, wipe, and recover PCs — even when powered off — to protect assets, data, and business continuity.

1 Device features and functionality may vary based on OEM design.
2 CPU Performance is based on Geekbench 6.5 Multi-Core score on Windows 11 OS, run in September 2025. Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme (X2E-96-100) was tested using a Qualcomm reference design. Intel Core Ultra 9 285H was tested using an ASUS Zephyrus G16 (GU605CP). Intel Core Ultra 9 288V was tested using an Acer Swift 16 AI OLED (SF16-51T-98SE). AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 was tested using a ASUS Vivobook S14 (M5406). Maximum performance reflected by Intel platforms represent maximum achievable results in given platforms under unconstrained PL1/PL2 settings and no thermal limitations. Maximum performance reflected by AMD platforms represent maximum achievable results in unconstrained SlowLimit/FastLimit settings and no thermal limitations. Power and performance comparison reflects results based on measurements and hardware instrumentation of given devices. Lowest power and performance figures may not represent the lowest achievable platform power and performance. Idle-normalized platform power is measured with idle periods removed.
