About Intel Manageability Engine Firmware Recovery Agent?

Intel Active Management Technology (AMT) is a hardware-based solution designed for the remote management and security of PCs, operating out-of-band. AMT is integrated as hardware and firmware technology within business PCs to enable monitoring, maintenance, updates, upgrades, and repairs. This technology is part of the Intel Management Engine and is implemented in PCs featuring Intel vPro technology. It is important to note that AMT is intended to be used in conjunction with a software management application and is not designed to operate independently. By utilizing AMT in tandem with a software management application, system administrators can gain enhanced remote access to PCs, enabling them to securely perform tasks that may be challenging or impossible on PCs lacking built-in remote capabilities.
