Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. announced it is collaborating with NVIDIA to enhance the security of AI cloud infrastructure. Integrating with NVIDIA DPUs, the new Check Point AI Cloud Protect solution will help prevent threats at both the network and host levels. The rapid proliferation of AI has brought about a revolution in workplace efficiency and innovation.

However, this growth also creates additional attack vectors specifically targeting AI, such as backdooring AI models to control a model's output or to gain unauthorized access to the environment, data exfiltration to expose intellectual property, and denial of service to degrade performance and reduce capacity. These threats compromise the integrity and security of AI systems and pose risks to business outcomes. They can also erode the foundational trust in AI operations, while potentially affecting other aspects of the data center.

There is a critical need for a revamped security approach to protect not only the data in its traditional form but the AI models themselves, which are central to innovation and competitive edge. In response to these emerging challenges, AI Cloud Protect emerges as a strategic solution, addressing the dynamic security requirements of the AI era. Designed for easy deployment and adaptability, it offers out-of-the-box security without impacting AI performance.

Designed for effortless integration and scalability, the AI Cloud Protect provides a robust shield against sophisticated cyber threats. Engineered with the NVIDIA BlueField 3 DPU, which powers a new class of AI cloud data centers, and the NVIDIA DOCA software framework, AI Cloud Protect is designed to seamlessly integrate into NVIDIA's AI ecosystems, providing: Robust Defense Against AI-Specific Threats: Empowers organizations to efficiently shield against model addition, model theft and other attack vectors with unprecedented efficiency. Scalable, Seamless Integration: Facilitates easy deployment across diverse AI environments, ensuring security measures grow in tandem with organizational needs.
