Industrial cybersecurity firm Nozomi Networks Inc. today announced a new integration with Nvidia BlueField data processing units to strengthen artificial intelligence-powered cybersecurity monitoring, analysis and response for the world’s most demanding industrial environments.

The new integration allows security professionals to deploy Nozomi sensors on Nvidia BlueField-3 DPUs to create what the company says is a highly efficient, accelerated computing platform for security monitoring that provides greater flexibility to leverage AI for real-time threat detection and response.

Nozomi Networks’ purpose-built operational technology, internet of things network and endpoint sensors are now deployable on Nvidia BlueField DPUs, giving chief information security officers and their teams new capabilities for securing critical infrastructure. The integration, which leverages AI-powered monitoring and anomaly detection at the edge, allows for real-time threat detection and response directly on Nvidia BlueField-3 DPUs, helping protect vital operations from cyberattacks.

Additionally, the new features allow for the offloading of Nozomi data processing from CPUs to BlueField DPUs. The company says that delivers improved overall system resilience and boosts to OT process uptime by freeing compute resources for essential industrial workloads. The solution enhances protection for legacy and mission-critical systems through a deployment path that eliminates the need for network or system configuration changes while still delivering robust analysis and security coverage.

Nozomi says the combination of its expertise in OT, IoT and cyber-physical system security with Nvidia’s accelerated computing capabilities creates a robust solution tailored for the modern threat landscape.

The integration also gives security professionals and industrial operators the ability to combine security insights from Nozomi sensors on Nvidia BlueField with data collected from network, wireless and endpoint sensors deployed across enterprise environments. The result is global visibility and security analytics available through the Nozomi Networks platform.

“Artificial Intelligence has always played a role in the security solutions Nozomi delivers, but it’s quickly becoming a non-negotiable component of effective defenses for critical infrastructure operators battling a growing number of sophisticated cyber threats,” said Andrea Carcano, co-founder and chief product officer at Nozomi Networks. “Understanding this, what’s unique about our Nvidia integration is the fact that it includes the advanced data processing that organizations need for AI-powered threat detection and response, AI-assisted vulnerability and risk management and much more.”

The Nozomi Nvidia integration is available now from Nozomi Networks and its ecosystem of partners.
