SecEdge and Advantech partner for chip-to-cloud edge AI security | IoT Now News & Reports

SecEdge and Advantech have announced a partnership to deliver a complete chip-to-cloud security solution for edge AI.

Advantech, an Elite partner in the Partner Network, has made available the SecEdge SEC-TPM solution in its MIC-AI inference system based on the NVIDIA Jetson edge AI platform. This provides customers with an out-of-the-box solution that accelerates secure edge AI deployments. SEC-TPM is a firmware trusted platform module (fTPM) coupled with a secure provisioning service that ensures AI model security while reducing Bill-of-Materials BOM cost.

The solution brings a number of benefits:

AI model protection

AI models represent a large investment in intellectual property that must be protected from corruption or theft. Protecting AI at the edge presents a unique set of challenges. SEC-TPM protects AI models at rest and maintains AI model integrity with secure remote management.

Device integrity

Device integrity is ensured with trust provisioning and management of SEC-TPM, eliminating the need for a discrete TPM chip or secure manufacturing facility.

Multi-tenant secure device access

The solution enables secure connectivity across applications with independent IPSec tunnels. For example, a traffic-monitoring application having several tenants could include: a camera vendor OEM (for camera software updates), an AI model developer (for model management) and the city (for secure access to camera feeds and model inferences).

SEC-TPM is integrated with NVIDIA JetPack 6.0 including microservices for Jetson, providing a complete set of device security functions and features, including secure boot and firmware updates, failure recovery, encryption, credentials management and cloud integration.

“SecEdge has a unique solution that provides AI model protection from chip-to-cloud,” said Magic Pao, an associate vice president of the industrial cloud and video group at Advantech, “Our industrial customers and partners can develop and deploy innovative edge AI systems knowing that their solution and intellectual property are safe.”

“SEC-TPM is a perfect fit for Advantech, a trusted provider of innovative products and solutions,” said Sami Nassar, the president and co-CEO at SecEdge. “We are excited about this first step in an exciting partnership in securing edge AI.”
