## AI overview

This article discusses Pigasus, an intrusion detection and prevention system designed to achieve 100 Gbps intrusion prevention on a single server. It explains the system's focus on high throughput and low latency, and highlights an architecture in which an FPGA coordinates processing while the CPU provides support.
