Akamai extends its micro-segmentation and zero-trust security platform Guardicore to run on Nvidia BlueField GPUs
The integration offloads user-configurable security processes from the host system to the Nvidia BlueField DPU and enables zero-trust segmentation without requiring software agents on fragile or legacy systems, according to Akamai. Organizations can implement this hardware-isolated, “agentless” security approach to help align with regulatory requirements and lower their risk profile for cyber insurance.
“It delivers deep, out-of-band visibility across systems, networks, and applications without disrupting operations. Security policies can be enforced in real time and are capable of creating a strong protective boundary around critical operational systems. The result is trusted insight into operational activity and improved overall cyber resilience,” according to Akamai.
Forescout works with Nvidia to bring zero-trust technology to OT networks
Forescout applies network segmentation to contain lateral movement and enforce zero-trust controls. The technology would be further integrated into partnership work already being done by the two companies. By running Forescout’s on-premises sensor directly on the Nvidia BlueField, part of Nvidia Cybersecurity AI platform, customers can offload intensive computing tasks, such as deep packet inspections. This speeds up data processing, enhances asset intelligence, and improves real-time monitoring, providing security teams with the insights needed to stay ahead of emerging threats, according to Forescout.
Palo Alto to demo Prisma AIRS AI Runtime Security on Nvidia BlueField DPU
Palo Alto Networks recently partnered with Nvidia to run its Prisma AI-powered Radio Security(AIRs) package on the Nvidia BlueField DPU and will show off the technology at the conference. The technology is part of the Nvidia Enterprise AI Factory validated design and can offer real-time security protection for industrial network settings.
“Prisma AIRS AI Runtime Security delivers deep visibility into industrial traffic and continuous monitoring for abnormal behavior. By running these security services on Nvidia BlueField, inspection and enforcement happen directly at the infrastructure level, closer to the workloads,” Palo Alto stated.
Siemens to demo Nvidia BlueField integration with its IT/OT platform
At the S4x26 security conference, Siemens said it will demonstrate its AI-ready Industrial Automation DataCenter, a platform that collects, stores, processes, and serves operational and automation data across industrial environments. The system integrates Nvidia BlueField devices for and integrated secure edge infrastructure made up of industrial OT workloads and the data center or cloud, according to Siemens.
