A deep transformation has been happening these past three years in every aspect of the modern workplace, with the widespread introduction of remote work practices, the increasing pressure on supply chain, and globally, modifications in every aspect of the industry. In most cases, this transformation has been digital in nature. And in many of such cases, while this mutation has brought significant improvements in autmation, rationalization, and thus efficiency or productivity, it has also brought new sorts of vulnerabilities and a new level of exposure. This webinar will list the multiple relationships between Edge AI and Cybersecurity. In particular, we will list the traditional but also the specific vulnerabilities of Edge Computing and its declination, Edge AI, and we will present some proven strategies allowing enterprises to address these vulnerabilities. But we will also adress the counterpoint of these vulnerabilities, as the industry can also leverage Edge Computing and Edge AI as an opportunity to secure their digital infrastructure, and thus, their entire operational process. The presentation will thus cover subjects such as Edge AI specific vulnerabilities and strengths, End Point Security practices and tools, Deep Data generation, and other modern considerations linked to Edge AI and cybersecurity in the modern workplace.
