Today's AI systems face unprecedented security challenges.

Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP), a pioneer and global leader of cyber security solutions, today announced it is working with NVIDIA to deliver an integrated security solution built for AI factories. AI Cloud Protect is now available for on-premises enterprise deployments to secure AI model development, agentic AI applications, and inference workloads with zero impact on performance. The solution has been validated on NVIDIA RTX PRO Servers, enabling enterprises to deploy AI securely—from data center to cloud—built on NVIDIA BlueField technology.

“As enterprises race to build AI-driven innovation, they can’t afford blind spots,” said Nataly Kremer, Chief Product Officer at Check Point. “With NVIDIA, we’re making AI factories secure by design—protecting models, data, and infrastructure without slowing innovation.”

Today's AI systems face unprecedented security challenges. More than half of enterprise networks now use AI tools, making them prime targets for cyber attacks. Check Point data shows that 1 in every 80 GenAI prompts exposes sensitive data. Meanwhile, a recent Gartner report found that 32% of organizations experienced an AI attack involving prompt manipulation, and 29% faced attacks on their GenAI infrastructure in the past year. As businesses race to deploy AI, protecting the entire AI pipeline—from development to production—has become an urgent imperative.

AI Cloud Protect secures AI factories – protecting the cloud infrastructure that powers AI model development, training and commercial deployment. Running on NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPUs, AI Cloud Protect delivers full-stack security without consuming CPU or GPU resources — eliminating the performance trade-offs of traditional security solutions. Using network-level protection, AI Cloud Protect secures AI infrastructure from unauthorized access to reduce risk for data poisoning and model exfiltration. At the host level, AI Cloud Protect leverages the unique direct memory access of NVIDIA DOCA Argus to provide visibility into all running processes on the AI node. This enables Check Point to detect and prevent host-level malicious processes and workloads including those in publicly downloaded Large Language Models (LLMs).

“Security is essential for the next generation of AI infrastructure,” said David Reber, chief security officer at NVIDIA. “NVIDIA is working with Check Point to integrate BlueField acceleration and the NVIDIA DOCA Argus runtime security framework into the AI Cloud Protect platform to help enterprises deploy AI confidently.”

AI Cloud Protect will also run on the forthcoming NVIDIA BlueField-4 DPU, which will offer up to 6x compute power and 2x network throughput for AI inference and storage processing, enabling scalable and secure AI operations at unprecedented speed.
