Nvidia reveals how its AI platform enhances real-time cyberthreat detection

Nvidia Corp. today revealed how leading cybersecurity providers are adopting its cybersecurity artificial intelligence platform to safeguard critical infrastructure.

At the S4 Conference, Nvidia detailed how companies, including Armis Security Ltd., Check Point Software Technologies Ltd., CrowdStrike Holdings Inc. and World Wide Technology Inc., are integrating Nvidia’s AI-powered solutions to enhance real-time threat detection and defense mechanisms for operational technology environments.

Nvidia’s cybersecurity AI platform leverages the company’s BlueField-3 Data Processing Units, Data Center Infrastructure-on-a-Chip Architecture and the Morpheus AI cybersecurity framework to provide nonintrusive security measures that analyze network traffic and protect host integrity without disrupting operations.

Armis is integrating Nvidia’s AI into its Centrix cyber exposure management platform to protect industries like energy, manufacturing and healthcare. CrowdStrike is deploying its Falcon security agent on BlueField-3 DPUs to enhance AI-driven threat detection and response for ICS and OT systems.

“OT environments are increasingly targeted by sophisticated cyber threats, requiring robust solutions that ensure both security and operational continuity,” said Armis co-founder and Chief Technology Officer Nadir Izrael. “Combining Armis’ unmatched platform for OT security and cyber exposure management with Nvidia BlueField-3 DPUs enables organizations to comprehensively protect cyber-physical systems without disrupting operations.”

The offering seeks to tackle the increasing convergence of IT and OT systems that has created a complex cybersecurity landscape where traditional security measures often fall short. The company’s cybersecurity AI platform has been designed to address these challenges by providing deep visibility into network traffic and system behaviors.

The platform leverages AI-driven anomaly detection and automated threat response to enable organizations to proactively mitigate risks before they escalate into major security incidents.

Nvidia’s BlueField-3 DPUs act as embedded security processors that offload critical cybersecurity tasks from traditional CPUs and, in doing so, allow for real-time monitoring and protection without impacting system performance. The approach differs from conventional security solutions that rely on software agents, with BlueField-3 DPUs inspecting network data at the hardware level, reducing the risk of tampering and ensuring a more robust security posture.

Also part of the mix is Morpheus, Nvidia’s AI-driven cybersecurity framework, which enhances the offering by delivering real-time threat detection, behavioral analysis and automated response mechanisms. The framework continuously analyzes telemetry data to identify patterns and anomalies that may indicate cyber threats. Combined with Nvidia DOCA, which provides the infrastructure needed to deploy security applications, the platform offers a scalable and adaptive cybersecurity solution for critical infrastructure.

“Nvidia’s cybersecurity AI platform, combined with the expertise of ecosystem partners, offers a powerful and scalable solution to protect critical infrastructure environments against evolving threats,” Nvidia said in a statement. “Bringing Nvidia AI and accelerated computing to the forefront of OT security can help organizations protect what matters most — now and in the future.”
