Compared to general-purpose CPUs, powerful GPUs are typically preferred for demanding AI applications like machine learning, deep learning and neural networks.

An AI accelerator is any piece of hardware—including a GPU—used to speed up ML and DL models, NLP and other AI operations.

A cloud-native application protection platform (CNAPP) is comprehensive cybersecurity software that integrates cloud security solutions (CIEM, CWPP, CSPM) into a single, unified platform.

A cloud workload protection platform (CWPP) is a comprehensive security solution for safeguarding workloads in cloud, hybrid cloud and multicloud environments.

A quantum processing unit (QPU) is state-of-the-art processing hardware that uses qubits to solve complex problems using quantum mechanics.
