Do I need good set of hardware for high tier security?

[futu]

Last night had a talk with my buddy who is a digital security professional, I'm setting up a private network on my laptop that I will use for autocad as well. The network is very sensitive and will have a lot of value, So I want it to be as secure as possible. My main question is as my buddy said I need a good processor for high tier encryption, I was looking if a good processor is needed will these options work. I'm not looking to purchase at the moment, gathering opinions and thoughts! Thanks!

I'm setting up a private network on my laptop ...

A network is defined as a group of two or more computer systems linked together.

The network is very sensitive and will have a lot of value, ... encryption, ... I'm not looking to purchase at the moment, gathering opinions and thoughts!

Maybe some of this will help:

• Citizen Lab's "Security Planner" (Bruce Schneier advisor)
• Motherboard's comprehensive "Guide to Not Getting Hacked"
• EFF's "Surveillance Self-Defense"
• John Scott-Railton's "Digital Security Low Hanging Fruit"
• "Digital Security and Privacy for Human Rights Defenders"

Keep in mind that even those with gadzillions of dollars, such as Governments, etc. get hacked.
