TLDR: Check Point Software Technologies and NVIDIA have partnered to launch AI Cloud Protect, a comprehensive security solution designed to safeguard enterprise AI infrastructure, including model development, agentic AI applications, and inference workloads. Leveraging NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPUs and DOCA Argus technology, the solution promises full-stack security with zero performance impact, addressing critical threats like data poisoning, model exfiltration, and prompt manipulation.
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. – October 28, 2025 – In a significant move to bolster the security of artificial intelligence deployments, Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP) and NVIDIA have announced the launch of AI Cloud Protect. This integrated security solution is engineered to provide robust protection for enterprise AI infrastructure, encompassing AI model development, agentic AI applications, and inference workloads, all without compromising performance. The solution is currently available for on-premises deployments and has been rigorously validated on NVIDIA RTX PRO Servers.
AI Cloud Protect is built upon NVIDIA BlueField-3 Data Processing Units (DPUs), with future support planned for the upcoming NVIDIA BlueField-4 DPU, which is anticipated to deliver up to 6x compute power and 2x network throughput. This DPU-powered approach ensures that security operations do not consume valuable CPU or GPU resources, a critical advantage for performance-intensive AI workloads. At the host level, the solution utilizes NVIDIA DOCA Argus technology to offer deep visibility into all processes running on AI nodes, enabling the detection and prevention of malicious activities, including those within publicly downloaded Large Language Models (LLMs).
The collaboration comes at a crucial time, as AI systems are increasingly becoming targets for cyberattacks. According to Check Point’s internal data, a concerning ‘1 in every 80 generative AI prompts exposes sensitive data’. Further highlighting the urgency, a recent Gartner report cited in the announcement revealed that ‘32% of organizations experienced an AI attack involving prompt manipulation in the past year, while 29% faced attacks on their generative AI infrastructure’. These statistics underscore the imperative for comprehensive security across the entire AI pipeline, from development to production.
Nataly Kremer, Chief Product Officer at Check Point, emphasized the partnership’s strategic importance, stating, ‘As enterprises race to build AI-driven innovation, they can’t afford blind spots. With NVIDIA, we’re making AI factories secure by design—protecting models, data, and infrastructure without slowing innovation.’ David Reber, Chief Security Officer at NVIDIA, echoed this sentiment, highlighting the critical need for security in AI infrastructure deployment.
AI Cloud Protect directly addresses key security challenges in AI deployments, including data poisoning, model exfiltration, and unauthorized access. It provides network-level protection to secure AI infrastructure from unauthorized access and reduces the risk of data poisoning and model exfiltration. The solution also integrates with Check Point’s broader security portfolio, such as CloudGuard Web Application Firewall (WAF) with Lakera capabilities, which protects AI enterprise applications from threats like prompt injection and jailbreaking, and Infinity GenAI Protect, which prevents sensitive data leakage and ensures compliance in generative AI application usage.
