AI-powered security platform
A new AI-powered security platform from Kontron protects edge infrastructures and data paths in industrial and critical environments.
Kontron , a leading global provider of IoT/Embedded Computer Technology (ECT), represents with KontronAIShield is a highly integrated AI-supported Security platform in place, which covers both the existing brownfield and the new greenfield. The security platform combines classic approaches such as firewalls Appliances or Virus scanner with modern AI support and intrusion detection mechanisms. It addresses scenarios in edge, embedded and industrial environments.
The KontronAIShield Appliance (BoxPC with software) protects as an upstream system, existing legacy systems by replacing the systems with a A classic firewall solution provides protection. This function is enhanced by AI so that even encrypted traffic can be analyzed. If something malicious is detected… If detected, the connection is immediately blocked and the backend is informed. all without the Installation and management of certificates. Therefore, This solution is ideal for systems with older operating systems that cannot be replaced in the short term. They can be replaced, but still need to remain networked.
The KontronAIShield app functions as an AI-driven virus scanner. and is available for all KontronOS systems. Unlike a virus scanner, which The app requires constant updates and is designed to handle them. the behavior to examine the system and identify any anomalies. Here too, Malicious behavior was immediately stopped and the backend was informed.
“Classic virus scanners and firewalls are no longer viable in this age.” automated, AI-powered cyberattacks offer no serious protection,” explains Stefan Eberhardt, Business Development Manager at Kontron. “With KontronAIShield is establishing the next generation of security software also already on existing systems, to protect them against existing and future attacks to equip.”
Main features of KontronAIShield:
- Zero-Touch Provisioning Mode – creates security from the first plug-in
- AI-based Firewall/IDS/Threat Prevention Application – Anomaly detection that identifies attacks early
- Real-time monitoring, including of encrypted traffic
- Suitable for Greenfield and Brownfield
Thanks to its modular architecture, KontronAIShield Integrate into all systems that KontronOS supports. This is done on a project basis. It is also available for third-party systems.
The KontronAIShield Appliance is available on selected Kontron hardware platforms are available, for which it has been specifically optimized. This allows it to… No additional AI accelerator is needed, and it is created one A cost-effective solution that, in conjunction with KontronOS, covers the entire The lifecycle is maintained and updated.
