The Tech Leaders Adopting Nvidia’s Cybersecurity AI
The rise of Gen AI has transformed industrial cybersecurity requirements.
As industrial control systems, manufacturing facilities and utilities face unprecedented cybersecurity challenges, the need for robust security is intensifying.
Whilst threat actors have demonstrated capabilities to exploit machine learning models to breach security systems, AI-powered attacks have increased in sophistication and frequency – and these developments have exposed vulnerabilities in traditional defence mechanisms protecting critical infrastructure.
Previous control systems were designed for isolated operation, but digital transformation initiatives have now connected them to enterprise networks and cloud services, creating new attack surfaces for cyber threats.
As technology companies seek new defence mechanisms, five have integrated Nvidia's cybersecurity AI platform to strengthen protection for energy, utilities and manufacturing facilities.
Nvidia BlueField and Morpheus power industrial defence systems
Nvidia has developed a cybersecurity platform that combines BlueField-3 data processing units (DPU) with Morpheus, an AI framework that monitors network behaviour – and the system operates without installing software agents, using virtual security overlays to examine network traffic.
The platform integrates Nvidia's accelerated computing technology with AI frameworks to enable rapid response across networks.
Armis has integrated its Centrix platform with Nvidia's technology.

"OT environments are increasingly targeted by sophisticated cyber threats, requiring robust solutions that ensure both security and operational continuity," says Nadir Izrael, Chief Technology Officer and Co-founder of Armis.
Additionally, CrowdStrike has deployed its Falcon security system on BlueField-3 DPU that aims to enhance threat detection capabilities in industrial control systems.

"OT environments are under increasing threat, demanding AI-powered security that adapts in real time," says Raj Rajamani, Head of Products at CrowdStrike.
This new technology was unveiled at the S4 conference for industrial control systems and operational technology cybersecurity, where partners demonstrated real-time threat detection capabilities.
Critical infrastructure faces emerging AI security challenges
The integration of AI in industrial systems has created requirements for enhanced security measures.
However, traditional cybersecurity systems have not kept pace with threats targeting operational technology environments, which control physical infrastructure.
This means that as digital transformation initiatives have accelerated the merger of information technology and operational technology systems, complex security challenges have been created – requiring new approaches to threat detection and response, particularly in environments where operational continuity is critical.
Deloitte
Deloitte is implementing Nvidia's platform to provide visibility into data centre networks.
"Protecting OT and ICS systems is becoming increasingly challenging as organisations embrace digital transformation and interconnected technologies," says Dmitry Dudorov, AI Security Leader at Deloitte UK.
Nvidia technology enables real-time infrastructure protection
Check Point Software Technologies and World Wide Technology have also partnered with Nvidia to implement the cybersecurity platform.

These companies are integrating the platform to help customers bolster critical infrastructure, such as energy, utilities and manufacturing facilities, against cyber threats.
The BlueField-3 DPU serves as a virtual security overlay, monitoring network traffic and ensuring host integrity without operational disruption – enabling detailed surveillance of host activities, network traffic and application behaviours without impacting system performance.
The cybersecurity platform will be featured at the Nvidia GTC global AI conference in March, where Armis, Check Point and CrowdStrike representatives will present sessions on their implementation experiences.
"By integrating Nvidia BlueField-3 DPUs with the CrowdStrike Falcon platform, we're extending industry-leading protection to critical infrastructure without disrupting operations — delivering unified protection at the edge and helping organisations stay ahead of modern threats," says Raj.
