AI inference is emerging as a primary case for edge computing. Moving the inference engine close to the data conserves network bandwidth and improves response time. However, for many service providers, the complexity associated with securing thousands of edge nodes outweighs the performance benefit.
This case study describes a threat model for delivering secure edge AI, and presents a set of security design patterns and constructs to enable trust at the edge.
Education-focused hardware platforms often fall flat by trying to solve nonexistent problems, or by creating useless all-in-one designs that basically "recreate the Arduino". When Alex set out to design the "Nugget" - a beginner-friendly, cat-shaped development board catered towards cybersecurity beginners - he was faced with unique challenges in creating a platform that brought both ease-of-use and extensibility to users. He wanted a hands-on design that would make it easy for beginners to learn daunting topics like WiFi security and USB attacks through a guided, streamlined interface.
Big, established open source projects share something with California: they have lots of elections! Instead of mailboxes, though, they use online voting platforms. Learn about the open source online voting software that's available and how to use it for your project.
Since the introduction of replication in MySQL, users have been trying to automate the promotion of a replica to a primary as well as automating the failover of TCP connections from one database server to another in the event of a database failure: planned or unplanned. For over a decade, users and organizations have designed various types of solutions to achieve this. Though, many of these solutions were done manually or were using third party software, mostly open source, to automate and integrate various architectures.
The next major release of PostgreSQL, version 15, is expected to be released early in the fall. We will highlight the expected new features, improvements and other newsworthy topics.
Confidential Computing is about using hardware controls to protect your data and applications, but how can you be sure it's doing the job? This session will break down the various components and explain the importance of open source.
In 2021, Red Hat's Open Source Program Office sponsored a study seeking to understand the interaction between an open source community and corporations and consider what characteristics foster a relationship.
The findings from the study confirm well-known and established reasons for engaging with open source communities such as leveraged development and upstreaming contributions. However, the findings from the study also reveal new reasons for engaging with open source communities for reasons of strategic influence and community development.
Apache Cassandra supports the types of availability first applications that can span the globe. It’s provides low latency, highly responsive experiences to any client, anywhere. Learn how this distributed database addresses the challenges of modern distributed applications, along with the ways a distributed data layer impacts your application design and operations.
We explore the security model exposed by Rook with Ceph, the leading software-defined storage platform of the Open Source world. Digging increasingly deeper in the stack, we examine hardening options for Ceph storage appropriate for a variety of threat profiles.
Are you looking to modernize your data infrastructure? Or are you confused at what all the terms mean? Let's look at the history of data storage from the humble beginnings of the relational database through the modern cloud-native data mesh paradigm. Data storage has evolved, and you can too.
