Paper Title: Fortifying Cybersecurity with AI in SSDs

Paper Abstract: Current software cybersecurity solution is no longer enough to protect against evolving threats and business model like RaaS. Therefore, business leaders and their cybersecurity professionals need to update their arsenal if they wish to protect their devices and their data. By design, embedding AI security at the firmware level of the SSD, where it sits close to a user’s data, ensures real-time threat detection and protection against evolving threats like zero-day exploits. The AI element provides intelligent, intuitive and immediate defense by detecting anomalies in data-access patterns that typically indicate ransomware, cloning attacks, physical drive theft, and even other side-channel attacks. Data within the drive is closely protected 24/7 – making it an ideal solution for complementing software-based defenses for a holistic defense system.
