“The gap right now is between how fast AI systems are scaling and how well they’re being governed,” said Krista Case, theCUBE Research’s principal analyst and practice lead for cyber resilience and security. “Many organizations are still not consistently protecting or backing up large portions of their AI-generated data, even as the cost of data loss and operational impact continues to rise. The priority should be building continuous governance into the system itself, starting with data lineage, observability and real-time policy enforcement. The signal to watch is whether vendors can move beyond fragmented tools and deliver a true control plane that operates at the same speed as the AI systems it’s meant to secure.”

During the “Securing the AI Factory with Dell Technologies and Intel” event, on May 5, company executives and industry experts will explore how security and cyber resiliency set the foundation for trusted, scalable AI. Tune in for exclusive insights and analysis as theCUBE examines the challenges associated with full-scale deployment of the AI Factory and how a collaboration between Dell and Intel builds intrinsic security into enterprise platforms.

AI Factory expands

Over the past 18 months, Dell has expanded its AI Factory through the introduction of Generative AI Solutions with Intel. A combination of Intel Gaudi3 AI accelerators with Dell’s high-performance servers has provided customers with scalability and flexibility in the implementation of generative AI workflows. Dell further integrated Gaudi3 hardware in its AI solution last year to create a fully validated end-to-end process for scaling AI technologies in the enterprise.

Intel’s technology powers Dell’s PowerEdge servers, employing hardware-level technologies for confidential computing and root-of-trust boot verification. Protection such as this is becoming increasingly more significant as the attack surface expands and threat actors leverage AI tools to move at machine speed.

As theCUBE Research has documented, the AI Factory has completely transformed the notion of a data center. It has emerged as a production environment for intelligence, creating a different risk profile.

“The data layer has become the primary target in AI environments,” Case said. “Our research shows that organizations are already reporting exposure to threats like data inference, exfiltration and poisoning. That fundamentally shifts the security model. If enterprises can’t track how data is flowing, how it’s being transformed and how it’s influencing model behavior, they’re operating without real accountability. This is why the control plane is becoming a strategic priority. It’s about governing how intelligence is created and used across the business.”
