Hardware-Accelerated Network Security for Line-Rate Cloud Performance

As cloud-native applications, AI workloads, and encrypted traffic continue to grow, traditional CPU-based security architectures are increasingly challenged by performance and scalability demands. This session explores how technologies such as ASICs, SmartNICs, and DPUs offload cryptographic and networking functions to accelerate security operations. Attendees will learn how hardware acceleration improves throughput, reduces latency, strengthens zero-trust enforcement, and enables scalable cloud security without sacrificing performance, efficiency, or resilience.
