ThinkEdge SE70 is a powerful and flexible AI edge platform for enterprise designed to meet the expanding intelligent transformation needs from logistics, transportation and smart cities to retail, healthcare and manufacturing. The new edge solution from Lenovo is powered by the NVIDIA Jetson Xavier NX system on module. Implementing Sequitur as the security suite better ensures that Lenovo’s SE70 isolates dedicated hardware running AI models and delivering inferences and relevant data — thereby helping to secure AI models at the edge.

“Internet of Things (IoT) deployment is a tremendous market opportunity for both solution providers and enterprises based on the ability of AI solutions at the edge to make decisions to optimize operations and support new strategies,” said Blake Kerrigan, General Manager of ThinkEdge, Lenovo Intelligent Devices Group. “Although these devices offer significant upside, there remains an equally great need to better secure and protect the devices and IP in deployment. That’s why we are committed to work with Sequitur Labs to develop our first appliance designed to better protect AI models at the edge.”

Sequitur Labs’ EmSPARK Security Suite was designed to address solutions in industries where embedded security is paramount, in particular, protection of AI models at the edge. Supporting security functions for encryption, storage, data transmission and key/certificate management are delivered by EmSPARK and housed in a microprocessor’s secure memory partition. IoT hardware manufacturers use EmSPARK to easily implement device-level security by addressing technical, IP, supply chain and business process challenges.

Developers can easily build applications that use security enhanced resources without having to become experts in cryptography and complex chip-level security technologies. Overall, the solution reduces security development and deployment time and investment by 40 to 70 percent, significantly reduces risk, and reduces BOM…

oil: Ib & Central Cyber Security Agencies Join Probe Into Oil Ransomware Attack | Guwahati News

/in


Dibrugarh: The Intelligence Bureau (IB) and country’s two leading cyber security agencies — Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) and National Critical Information Infrastructure Protection Centre (NCIIPC) — have joined the probe into the ransomware attack on state-run explorer Oil India Limited’s (OIL) headquarters at Duliajan in upper Assam’s Dibrugarh district.
Two representatives from each of these agencies reached Duliajan on Friday to join the probe being conducted by the local police. The anonymous hackers had sought a ransom of $7.5 million from OIL to restore the affected network.
The CERT-In is the national nodal agency that deals with cyber security threats such as hacking and phishing. The NCIIPC is the national nodal agency that handles critical information infrastructure protection. It is a unit of the National Technical Research Organisation under the Prime Minister’s Office.
To add teeth to the probe, the OIL has also separately engaged the services of a Delhi-based private cyber security agency with international exposure.
OIL spokesperson Tridiv Hazarika on Saturday said, “Our production and drilling operations are functioning normally. Our communication network is also not affected as we have an alternate network of computers in place to deal with such kind of emergencies. Most of the data is safe as we were able to isolate the infected servers… we suspect it is the handiwork of international hackers.”
