Compute Securely with GIGABYTE's TPM 2.0 Solution
These days security is on the forefront of everyone's mind. With cyber criminals around the world actively trying to steal your financial and personal information, you need to do everything you can to protect yourself.
While many users protect themselves with anti-virus programs and other software measures, the reality is if you want complete peace of mind you’ll need to take things a step further and use a hardware based security solution. This is especially critical for employees such as accountants or insurance agent where they handle personal information of many individuals.
Thankfully there is a solution to help keep your precious data secure: a Trusted Platform Module (TPM).

Adding another layer of security
The TPM is a discrete cryptographic processor attached to a daughter board which plugs into the motherboard. The TPM securely stores your cryptographic key which can be created with encryption software such as Windows BitLocker. Without this key, the contents of the user's PC will remain encrypted and safe from unauthorized access.
This means that when using a TPM, the data on our PC will be safe not only from external software threats, but also physical theft. The GIGABYTE TPM GC-TPM2.0 SPI V2 features the SLB9672, an advanced 2048-bit cryptographic processor by Infineon®. The SLB9672 by Infineon processor meets all the latest industry standards including TPM 2.0 as well as Common Criteria (EAL4+).

This processor creates a military-grade encryption key that allows the use to encrypt your hard drive with Windows BitLocker, and also verify your identity online for tasks like online banking.
The GC-TPM2.0 SPI V2 is compatible with GIGABYTE motherboards of that include a TPM header on below:
Intel platform:
Intel 700 / 600 / 500 / 400 series / Z390 M GAMING
AMD platform:
AMD X670 / B650 / GA-AB350M-DASH

GIGABYTE GC-TPM 2.0 SPI V2. Host interface: SPI, Windows operating systems supported: Windows 10, Windows 11, Windows 7, Windows 8.1

How to use

Install the GC-TPM2.0 SPI V2 by inserting the module into the TPM header on a compatible GIGABYTE motherboard, ensuring the board is powered off and the connector orientation matches the header. After physical installation, enable TPM in the motherboard BIOS/UEFI if required. Within Windows, use platform tools such as Windows Security or BitLocker setup to initialize the TPM, create and store encryption keys, and enable full-disk encryption or other TPM-backed features.

Recommendations

Ensure your motherboard includes a compatible TPM header before purchase and confirm BIOS/UEFI support for TPM 2.0. Keep firmware and OS security updates current and back up recovery keys when enabling BitLocker or other encryption tied to TPM to prevent data loss.
