The race to build AI is accelerating. Enterprises are investing billions in AI factories that power the creation and development of AI capabilities. While AI provides amazing productivity benefits, 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. As organizations scale their AI infrastructure, they need comprehensive security solutions that won’t come at the cost of AI server performance.
Today, we’re announcing that Check Point AI Cloud Protect is now available for enterprise deployment, validated on NVIDIA RTX PRO Servers and ready to secure AI factories at scale—with zero performance impact.
Evolving AI Cyber Security Threat Landscape
AI factories and enterprise AI applications have unique security challenges:
AI-driven cyber security threats: AI infrastructure faces emerging threats like data poisoning, model theft, inference attacks, and AI-specific exploits that can manipulate the training process and output of models.
Open by design: AI developers pull code, containers, and models from public repositories. This open architecture creates additional risks like model poisoning, data exfiltration, and malicious workloads hiding in downloaded models.
Potential for significant business losses: Training LLMs can involve processing massive volumes of sensitive data. One breach can wipe out investments and compromise intellectual property.
AI applications require maximum GPU resources: AI workloads and language models can require AI Servers to run at maximum capacity for weeks or months. Every percentage point of CPU usage and microsecond of latency multiplies costs exponentially. Enterprises need a security solution that does not impact AI performance.
Comprehensive Security with Zero Impact on Performance
AI Cloud Protect secures AI factories, which power AI model development, training, and commercial deployment. Running on NVIDIA BlueField DPUs, AI Cloud Protect delivers full-stack security without consuming CPU or GPU resources, eliminating performance tradeoffs. Network security operates at minimal latency so that it won’t disrupt AI workloads and other fine-tuned training operations.
At the network level, AI Cloud Protect delivers identity-based threat prevention with virtual patching and IPS to secure AI infrastructure from unauthorized access. At the host level, AI Cloud Protect leverages NVIDIA DOCA Argus unique direct memory access to monitor all running processes on AI nodes. This enables detection and prevention of malicious processes, including compromised code in publicly downloaded models.
Enterprise Deployment Ready
We’ve completed comprehensive validation of AI Cloud Protect on NVIDIA RTX PRO Severs powered by NVIDIA RTX 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs and NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPUs. This validation demonstrates enterprise-ready security for critical AI workloads, enabling enterprises to deploy AI securely from datacenter to cloud.
We are also piloting AI Cloud Protect with financial services customers and strategic partners like WWT. Early deployments focus on AI data centers supporting LLM development and prompt-based applications, delivering robust security for proprietary data. Organizations can deploy AI Cloud Protect on NVIDIA RTX PRO Servers today with confidence, knowing it has been thoroughly tested and verified to work seamlessly with NVIDIA’s AI infrastructure.
Upcoming Support for Latest Generation of BlueField-4 DPUs
AI Cloud Protect will also run seamlessly on upcoming NVIDIA BlueField-4, which delivers:
- 6x the compute power of BlueField-3
- 800 Gb/s throughput
- 2x performance for AI inference and storage processing
This ensures your security infrastructure can scale with AI innovation and meet the demands of gigascale AI factories.
Comprehensive AI Supply Chain Protection
Including AI Cloud Protect, Check Point offers a comprehensive security portfolio that empowers enterprises to secure the entire AI supply chain including the infrastructure, enterprise applications, and end users.
At the infrastructure layer, AI Cloud Protect protects AI factories with zero performance impact. Running on NVIDIA BlueField DPUs, it secures the infrastructure that powers AI without consuming precious GPU capacity.
At the application layer, CloudGuard Web Application Firewall (WAF) stops AI application threats like prompt injection, jailbreaking, and LLM poisoning at the source. Our acquisition of Lakera brings market-leading AI application security with runtime protection for LLM inputs, outputs, and all data flows—including retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and model context protocol servers. With industry-leading detection delivering exceptionally low false positives, and a unique data advantage from Gandalf (the world’s largest AI red team with over 80 million adversarial attack patterns), this layer provides specialized protection for agentic AI applications that autonomously interact with enterprise systems.
At the user layer, GenAI Protect governs employee AI usage, prevents sensitive data leakage, and ensures compliance. It provides complete visibility into which AI tools employees are using, prevents sensitive data loss in real-time, and automatically generates audit trails for regulatory compliance. This ensures that while employees adopt new AI tools, organizations maintain control over their data and meet their compliance obligations.
Together, these solutions deliver end-to-end security across the entire AI supply chain—ensuring enterprises can deploy AI confidently at every stage, from infrastructure to applications to users.
Get Started Today
AI Cloud Protect is ready for enterprise deployment now.
Organizations can deploy it on NVIDIA RTX PRO Servers with NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPUs immediately, with support for NVIDIA BlueField-4 coming as these next-generation DPUs become available.
