AI-Enabled Edge Networking and Security - Seguridad Mania.com - España y América Latina

Enterprises are shifting intelligence to the edge, where responsiveness, efficiency, and security are critical. Relying on the cloud for AI processing introduces latency, higher costs, and privacy concerns. What’s needed is a compact, affordable edge platform that can deliver secure networking while also running AI workloads locally. In this Tech Talk, Silicom and Intel will present the Silicom Ibiza 1U Universal CPE, powered by the Intel Atom® x7000 processor series and enhanced with Intel® NetSec software. Designed for the edge, Ibiza consolidates networking and security into a single cost-efficient device. Silicom and Intel validated both CPU-only benchmarks and cases where AI workloads such as malware and URL detection were offloaded to the integrated GPU. On the CPU, Intel® AVX2 instructions enhance performance for vectorized and cryptographic workloads. When inference tasks are offloaded to the integrated GPU, CPU resources are freed to focus on high-throughput networking and security functions. Together, these approaches demonstrate the flexibility to optimize performance and cost depending on deployment needs—while eliminating reliance on the cloud or discrete GPUs. Attendees will gain insights into: • Market drivers behind the convergence of AI, networking, and security at the edge. • How Intel NetSec software and Intel Atom processors were used to optimize AI and networking workloads. • Benchmark results demonstrating low-latency AI inference alongside high-throughput networking performance. • Broader enterprise, telco, and retail use cases where a cost-efficient edge appliance reduces TCO and strengthens resilience. Join Silicom and Intel to see how AI-enabled edge solutions are transforming network appliances into intelligent, secure platforms—bringing both performance and protection closer to where it matters most.
