Problem
Cloud and edge computing environments face escalating cybercrime risks, including ransomware and physical side-channel attacks, which traditional security measures often fail to address in real-time. Existing security solutions may lack the hardware-level integration and AI-driven threat detection necessary to preemptively protect against sophisticated attacks. The increasing complexity of these environments exacerbates the challenge of maintaining robust platform security and efficient energy consumption.
Solution
Axiado provides a Trusted Control/Compute Unit (TCU), a system-on-chip (SoC) that integrates hardware-anchored security with AI-driven threat detection to deliver real-time protection. The TCU embeds a root of trust, BMC, TPM, HSM, SecureNIC, and firewall, creating a comprehensive solution against network, peripheral, and physical side-channel attacks. By incorporating a dedicated AI model platform, Axiado enables preemptive threat detection and mitigation with forensic-enabled hardware fingerprints. This approach enhances platform security and improves energy efficiency through AI-driven dynamic thermal management.
Target Audience
Axiado's primary customers include data centers, cloud service providers, 5G base station operators, and network switch manufacturers seeking advanced, hardware-level security and efficient thermal management.
