Secure the Rapidly Evolving Rugged Edge

The convergence of IT with vulnerable OT has exposed the inherent weaknesses that can result in attacks on the industrial IoT. Such vulnerabilities include poorly-secured industrial systems. AI/ML provides hyperintelligent cybersecurity and threat mitigation for platforms based on Industry 4.0. To date, the compute systems optimized to deploy responsive, powerful AI/ML are unsuited for the physical factors of heavy industrial settings. Rugged edge computers are purpose-built to reliably deliver intelligence in these challenging environments. In this talk, we’ll address these issues, as well as the advanced compute, storage, connectivity, and ruggedized features that support reflexive, real-time AI close to the data sources.
