Check Point Partners with NVIDIA to Enhance AI Cloud Infrastructure Security

Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. today announced its collaboration 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.

“AI provides great benefits across healthcare, education, finance and more. At the same time, the rate and sophistication of cyber attacks are increasing, with threat actors increasingly looking at ways to disrupt AI workloads in the cloud,” said Gera Dorfman, Vice President of Network Security at Check Point Software Technologies.

“We are working with NVIDIA to deliver a new secure AI cloud solution with Check Point AI Cloud Protect that guards even the most sensitive and private AI workloads against cyber threats,” Dorfman added.

The rapid expansion of AI technology has revolutionized workplace productivity but has also introduced new avenues for cyber attacks tailored to exploit AI systems. Threats such as tampering with AI models, data theft, and service disruptions pose significant risks to organizational integrity and trust in AI operations. To mitigate these risks, a comprehensive security approach is required to safeguard both data and AI models from potential breaches.

Check Point and NVIDIA’s collaboration integrates network and host-level security measures to provide a holistic defense against conventional and emerging cyber threats targeting AI infrastructures. This integrated approach ensures that security systems are equipped to monitor network activities and host-level processes effectively, thus safeguarding the integrity and performance of AI systems.

Yael Shenhav, Vice President of Networking Products at NVIDIA, stressed the importance of securing AI clouds as AI technology becomes increasingly ubiquitous. The utilization of NVIDIA BlueField 3 facilitates the implementation of robust cyber defense measures, ensuring the protection of AI cloud data centers while optimizing AI performance.

In response to the evolving threat landscape, the AI Cloud Protect solution emerges as a strategic response to the unique security challenges posed by the AI era. Designed for seamless deployment and scalability, it offers comprehensive security without compromising AI performance, providing organizations with a robust shield against sophisticated cyber threats.
