Todd Cramer, Intel & Lori Zwilling, Dell Technologies
This segment is recorded live at CrowdStrike Fal.Con 2026 and examines device-level artificial intelligence security and BIOS-to-cloud visibility with representatives from Dell Technologies and Intel and a partner from Falcon Data Security. Lori Zwilling of Dell Technologies serves as senior director of software product management and Todd Cramer of Intel serves as senior director of business development. Hosts Rebecca Knight and Dave Vellante conduct the interview as part of theCUBE Research live coverage. Zwilling and Cramer discuss deployment of Falcon Data Security's first device-level AI model running on an Intel neural processing unit in Dell AI PCs, hardware telemetry, agentic security prototypes and the integration of BIOS-level detections into a centralized cloud console. Cramer explains that device-local AI classification prevents sensitive data exfiltration while reducing inference costs, and they recommend evaluating NPU-equipped AI PCs for full‑stack AI security. Zwilling notes that BIOS-level detections now feed into consolidated cloud visibility, and they emphasize the importance of proactive firmware management and cryptographic readiness. Key takeaways and action items: - Prioritize BIOS and driver updates to reduce attack surface - Assess fleet cryptographic readiness for post-quantum risks - Evaluate AI PCs with neural processing units for device-local inference and lower operational cost - Incorporate hardware telemetry into endpoint security workflows for improved BIOS-to-cloud visibility This discussion advances understanding of device-level AI security, hardware-enabled protections and enterprise strategies for BIOS and endpoint security.
