Let’s Talk Cyber Security

Over the years in this blog we have touched on various aspects of cyber security because this is an area in which Accolade FPGA capability is often used. Security and network monitoring (which in some sense is also about security) appliances are the two main—though not only–types of processing nodes which benefit from Accolade FPGA features and functions. For example, we have an IP Block/Allow List Processing capability for Xilinx Alveo Accelerator cards. This capability is at the heart of cyber security because it is designed to stop malicious activity right in its tracks: at the IP address level.

We believe our technology is fundamental to a strong security posture, so in the coming weeks we will discuss various aspects of cyber security in this blog.
