Server Security in the Era of ChatGPT
Sponsored by Dell Technologies and Intel - The importance of security and compliance to applications and data environments cannot be overstated. A GenAI platform deployment is different from a typical infrastructure as a service (IaaS) implementation in terms of who holds the keys and who can read the data. Research by TechTarget's Enterprise Strategy Group has found that even cloud-first organizations are deploying some workloads on premises, rather than the cloud, due to concerns related to data governance and sovereignty (cited by 42% of respondents) and security (cited by 34%). These organizations understand the real potential for data leakage associated with GenAI. See More
