FEATURE : IOT AND ML but must abide by data privacy regulations . As a consequence , these firms would prefer to process and store data at edge sites rather than via the cloud to streamline regulatory compliance ,” says Tassos Peppas , Regional Director , Middle East and Levant , Vertiv .
Digital enterprises are looking at adopting edge computing to improve cybersecurity and benefit within many areas . Edge computing allows for faster response times to cyberattacks by processing the data closer to where it is generated .
Enterprises can also reduce latency in data processing and transmission , helping with faster access to critical information , and benefit from improved scalability to meet the growing volume of data . Not only does edge computing help reduce costs , but it also helps improve security by reducing the amount of data that needs to be transmitted to the cloud or data centre .
“ It is important to understand the network infrastructure and ensure that it is secure by implementing the security software . Employee awareness also goes a long way for the organisation to stay secure . There is no one cybersecurity solution that can fit all organisations or a certain sector , and it is important to identify the environment and threat landscape to recommend the approach ,” says Haider Pasha , Chief Security Officer at Palo Alto Networks , EMEA and LATAM .
In the past few years Zebra has acquired a number of companies together with its in-house innovations . Zebra now offers an expansive portfolio across machine vision and software that leverages machine learning for customers , as well as our partners who bring their own AI applications to solutions for customers . One example is how Zebra and Smartway created an AI-powered solution for grocery retailer Auchan , helping it reduce food waste and optimise grocery inventory .
“ We have seen a lot of headlines grabbing news recently around AI developments . For example , generative AI in the form of Dall-E for images and ChatGPT using large language models with human feedback . Meta ’ s Cicero combines AI strategic reasoning and natural language processing for a strategy game called Diplomacy while Deepmind developed AlphaGo , and AlphaFold to accurately predict 3D models of protein structures ,” says Hozefa Saylawala , Middle East Director , Zebra Technologies .
Use cases
“ There are a couple of innovations that are taking place in these categories especially the usage of AI and ML algorithms on IoT devices , which enable them to make intelligent and data driven decisions . This coupled with cloud computing has allowed IoT based services to be scaled at a large level . Another
