Check Point Launches AI Cloud Protect with NVIDIA Power

Check Point Software Technologies Ltd., a pioneer and global leader in cybersecurity solutions, announced that it has collaborated with NVIDIA to offer AI Cloud Protect , an integrated security solution purpose-built for the AI ​​factory. The new solution, now available for on-premise enterprise deployment, protects AI model development, agent-based AI applications, and inference workloads without impacting performance. Validated on NVIDIA RTX PRO servers , the solution leverages NVIDIA BlueField technology to enable enterprises to securely deploy AI from the data center to the cloud.

Today’s AI systems face unprecedented security challenges. More than half of enterprise networks now utilize AI tools, making them prime targets for cyberattacks. Check Point data shows that 1 in 80 generative AI prompts expose sensitive data. Meanwhile, a recent Gartner report found that 32% of organizations experienced an AI attack involving manipulating prompts in the past year, and 29% faced attacks on their generative AI infrastructure. As enterprises rapidly adopt AI, securing the AI ​​pipeline from development to production has become an urgent priority.

The new AI Cloud Protect solution secures AI factories and the cloud infrastructure that supports 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-off inherent in traditional security solutions. AI Cloud Protect leverages network-level protection to protect AI infrastructure from unauthorized access, reducing the risk of data contamination and model leakage. At the host level, it leverages NVIDIA DOCA Argus ‘ unique direct memory access, providing visibility into all processes running on AI nodes. This enables Check Point to detect and prevent host-level malicious processes and workloads, including those within publicly available large-scale language models (LLMs).

AI Cloud Protect also works with the upcoming NVIDIA BlueField-4 DPU , which delivers up to six times the compute power and two times the network throughput for AI inference and storage processing, enabling faster, scalable, and more secure AI operations than ever before.

In addition to AI Cloud Protect, Check Point offers a comprehensive security product portfolio that enables enterprises to protect the entire AI supply chain, including cloud infrastructure, enterprise applications, and end users. Check Point CloudGuard WAF (Web Application Firewall), integrated with Lakera capabilities, protects AI enterprise applications by preventing threats such as prompt injection and jailbreaking. Infinity GenAI Protect enables enterprises to safely deploy generative AI applications, detects generative AI apps in use, and enforces security policies to prevent sensitive data leakage and ensure compliance. Together, these solutions provide end-to-end security across infrastructure, application, and user layers, helping enterprises move forward with AI adoption with confidence.

Check Point is currently piloting AI Cloud Protect with customers in the financial services industry and strategic partners such as World Wide Technology (WWT). The early deployment phase focuses on AI data centers supporting large-scale language model (LLM) development and prompt-based applications, ensuring enterprise-grade protection for sensitive data and intellectual property. Validation on NVIDIA RTX PRO servers enables enterprises to confidently deploy AI Cloud Protect on their AI infrastructure.
