The cybersecurity landscape is at a critical inflection point. Despite billions invested in protection, 80% of breaches still involve compromised credentials. Traditional authentication methods force an impossible choice between security and usability, leaving both IT teams and end users frustrated. The result? Weakened security, reduced productivity, and significant hidden costs.

This session introduces Guacamole, a groundbreaking facial authentication solution that leverages Intel's edge AI capabilities to solve the authentication paradox. Unlike cloud-dependent alternatives, Guacamole processes all biometric data locally, delivering continuous, zero-touch authentication without compromising privacy or requiring internet connectivity.

You'll discover:

- How Intel-optimized edge AI creates new security possibilities previously unachievable
- Why continuous authentication represents a $15B+ market opportunity with double-digit growth
- How OEMs and channel partners can differentiate offerings through privacy-first security
- Practical integration strategies for vertical markets including healthcare, finance, and government
- Revenue models that create sustainable business value for the Intel ecosystem

Through live demonstrations and real-world case studies, you'll see how Guacamole delivers up to 8x performance acceleration using Intel's OpenVINO toolkit while eliminating the friction of traditional authentication.

Whether you're developing next-generation hardware, building comprehensive security solutions, or helping clients navigate complex compliance requirements, this session will provide actionable insights for capitalizing on the edge AI authentication revolution.

Edge AI Authentication: Creating New Value in the Security Ecosystem

Recent advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) technology, along with the “connected everything” potential of 5G are game changers for enterprises, service providers, and systems integrators in delivering end-to-end IoT solutions. 

Today’s private 5G and edge computing bring significant increases in network coverage, uplink performance, bandwidth, and data processing speed, allowing wirelessly connected HD-video cameras to be placed anywhere and expanding the marketplace for media analytics. Video analytics market size is expected to grow at CAGR of 22.7% to nearly $22 billion by 2027. 

However, the challenge has been in the complexity of integrating media analytics and real time communications into existing and new business applications to help drive business efficiencies. 


The webinar will cover:

1. Live demo of computer vision applications and the low-code/no-code programmable platform that empowers teams to quickly create new enterprise automation applications simply by dragging and dropping instruction on “what to look for” and “action to take” in a real time or recorded audio or video stream – all without requiring any special end point equipment.

2. How OpenVINO based 100+ prebuilt analytics models and integrated programmable communications can help accelerate development of IoT applications. Application possibilities include video surveillance, AR/VR overlay, gunshot and fire detection and alerting emergency services personnel, monitoring retail shelves for inventory management, and many other such services for multiple verticals – Manufacturing, Warehouses, Healthcare, Warehouse, Utilities, and more.

In late 2023, the Food & Drug Administration issued new considerations for cybersecurity in medical devices. These recommendations cover everything from authentication, to cryptography, to firmware and software updates. Medical device makers are now looking to meet these requirements, while ensuring ongoing operations are scalable.

A common traditional approach employed for deploying firmware and software updates in the field has been utilizing a software agent which has its drawbacks and limitations. A new approach to solving this update challenge is to leverage an edge focused software architecture, such as EVE-OS from the Linux Foundation, and leverage an API for orchestration of the software and underlying hardware.
In this panel, you’ll hear from experts about:

• Foundational security considerations for embedded software running at the edge
• The EVE-OS architecture and how it addresses the new FDA considerations
• Considerations for scaling firmware and software updates
