Enterprise security is shifting to the edge, where the first millisecond of every connection determines trust, performance, and risk. Traditional SASE cannot keep pace with encrypted traffic, global latency, and attacker speed. Edge AI changes the model by making sub-millisecond, context-aware decisions directly at ingress, turning security into an instantaneous, distributed judgment system.
