Together, the OpenVINO™ Security Add-on and the OpenVINO™ Model Server provide a way for Model Developers and Independent Software Vendors to use secure packaging and secure model execution to enable access control to the OpenVINO™ models, and for model Users to run inference within assigned limits.

 The OpenVINO™ Security Add-on consists of three components that run in Kernel-based Virtual Machines (KVMs). These components provide a way to run security-sensitive operations in an isolated environment. A brief description of the three components are as follows. Click each triangled line for more information about each.
