Palo Alto Networks is a leader in security solutions that protect the organizations deploying AI everywhere, generating and processing data everywhere. We are inviting Dr. May Wang, CTO of Cyber Security AI, Palo Alto Networks, to discuss how Palo Alto sees the edge and what strategy Palo Alo is taking from security perspective. 

More data is generated at the edge as devices are smarter and feeding more information into the network. More intelligence is generated at the edge with more values extracted out of data. Organizations are deploying GenAI at the edge to transform user experience at the edge both for external customers and for its employees. More values are placed at the edge that attract attackers. The edge is ever more vulnerable with increased attack surfaces. Intel and Palo Alto Networks have long worked together to deliver security solutions in the hands of IT and OT organizations. 

The recent advancements include building AI-enabled security solutions that could be deployed everywhere, from edge to cloud. Edge in particular is the center of the discussion with May where more data generation, processing, new applications like GenAI, and workloads to protect them all are deployed.
