Nvidia partners with cybersecurity vendors for real-time monitoring

Unlike conventional offerings that rely on intrusive methods or software agents, BlueField-3 DPUs function as a virtual security overlay. They inspect network traffic and safeguard host integrity without disrupting operations.

Other packages rely on tapping devices to access network data, which helps create a map of interconnected devices. But these tools don’t offer the same level of detail about what’s happening at the node level.

“The beauty of Nvidia BlueField is that it enables comprehensive visibility at the host, network, and application levels at the same time,” said the spokesman. “What we’re doing is we’re taking BlueField and integrating it into existing solutions. So it’s a ‘better together’ story rather than BlueField competing with other products.”

Nvidia’s cybersecurity AI platform is available today. Some of the capabilities and partner integrations are in early access and will be generally available in Q2.
