In modern communication networks, and especially moving to zero trust environments, all communication channels, including local memory interfaces must be secured. Hardware acceleration is essential to ensure the impact on performance, latency and power consumption is minimal and fundamental system operation is not degraded by the addition of security overhead. Gijs Willemse will discuss the architectural advantages, and in many use cases the necessity, for hardware-based encryption engines.
Securing Data in Motion with Hardware Security Engines
Hardware Security: Ask Me Anything
Whether it’s security technology trends, the latest cyberthreats, implementation issues or anything in between, our security experts are ready to tackle your questions in this Ask Me Anything session.
Security Solutions for a World of IoT Devices
With the ‘Internet of Things’ (IoT) getting more and more pervasive, an increasing number of connected things around us collect, handle and control sensitive data. The hacking of IoT devices can affect privacy, cause a loss of physical and information security, and impact availability of services. Connected devices significantly increase the attack surface of systems and networks as they potentially provide hackers a local springboard into those systems. Mass-deployed connected devices have been used to mount distributed Denial of Service attacks. IoT devices face a hard security challenge as they face high attack exposure while having limited resources to protect themselves. This session will cover the tools and solutions provided by Rambus to help protect and harden resource constrained devices from network-based attacks.
Securing Data Center AI/ML Workloads Beyond Secure Boot and Authentication
With the rising value of AI/ML spanning training and inference models, data, and the AI hardware itself, the threats from adversaries are greater than ever. As such, a security strategy for AI/ML workloads and hardware needs to offer far more than secure boot and authentication. Rambus security expert, Bart Stevens will discuss how a hardware root of trust can be the foundation for AI/ML security through defense in depth, partitioning of secure operations, and state-of-the-art protections from side channel attacks.
The Future of the Data Center
The world’s connectivity continues to increase, and the importance of digital data continues to grow. The unprecedented rise in data volumes is matched in importance by the value being extracted from this data. Server and data center architectures are evolving in response to the growing volume and importance of digital data, and greater intelligence is moving to the edge of the network and to the end points themselves. Our Rambus panel of technology experts will discuss the trends and challenges for future data centers in moving data faster and safer.
DDR5 Memory Enables Next-Generation Servers
An exponential rise in data volume, and the rapid increase of advanced workloads like AI/ML training, requires constant innovation in all aspects of computing. Yet given the broad infrastructure implications, main memory technology changes infrequently, once every 6 or 7 years. The transition to DDR5 is a watershed industry event as it will be the main memory solution in servers for the rest of this decade.
