Sequitur Labs Partners with Lenovo to Protect AI Models at the Edge

Sequitur Labs has been selected by Lenovo as the technology vendor of choice for protecting edge AI computing applications used as part of Lenovo’s trademarked ThinkEdge SE70 platform.

ThinkEdge SE70 is a powerful and flexible AI edge platform for the enterprise and designed to meet the expanding intelligent transformation needs from logistics, transportation and smart cities to retail, health care and manufacturing. The new edge solution from Lenovo is powered by the NVIDIA Jetson Xavier NX system on module.

Implementing Sequitur as the security suite ensures Lenovo’s SE70 isolates dedicated hardware running AI models and delivers inferences and relevant data to help secure AI models at the edge.

“Internet of Things (IoT) deployment is a tremendous market opportunity for both solution providers and enterprises based on the ability of AI solutions at the edge to make decisions to optimize operations and support new strategies,” said Blake Kerrigan, General Manager of ThinkEdge, Lenovo Intelligent Devices Group.  “Although these devices offer significant upside, there remains an equally great need to better secure and protect the devices and IP in deployment.”

Sequitur Labs’ EmSPARK Security Suite was designed to address solutions in industries where embedded security is paramount, in particular, protection of AI models at the edge. Supporting security functions for encryption, storage, data transmission and key/certificate management are delivered by EmSPARK and housed in a microprocessor’s secure memory partition.

IoT hardware manufacturers use EmSPARK to implement device-level security by addressing technical, IP, supply chain and business process challenges. Developers can build applications that use security enhanced resources without having to become experts in cryptography and complex chip-level security technologies.

Overall, the solution reduces security development and deployment time and investment by 40 to 70 percent, reduces risk and reduces BOM costs by removing hardware dedicated-security like Trusted Platform Modules (TPMs).

The Lenovo ThinkEdge SE70 is available in select markets worldwide. Those interested in learning more can visit the ThinkEdge web page or by contacting their local Lenovo sales representative.
