Axiado releases new security processors for servers and network appliances
Security processor provider Axiado has announced the availability of two new trusted compute units (TCUs) to help detect ransomware and other cyberattacks on servers and infrastructure elements in cloud data centers, 5G networks, and network switches.
Dubbed AX3000 and AX2000, these TCUs are AI-powered hardware security platform solutions that, the company says, integrate all security functions within a single system-on-chip (SoC) module.
“Products such as Axiado’s TCU are important developments in the market, as they answer a specific need for high-level and multi-function hardware security demands for data center technology,” said Michela Menting, senior research director at ABI Research. “Single-chip implementations provide a better cost-benefit ratio than having to implement different hardware components for different use cases—storage vs crypto acceleration vs ransomware identification.”
