In the past week, AI technology once again became the focus. In the only 30 minute release activity of OpenAI, ChatGPT 4-o's performance was "amazing". The "o" of CheaGPT 4-o stands for omni (meaning "omnipotent"), which can accept any combination of input and output of text, audio and image. Subsequently, the video of GPT 4-o identifying human emotions through cameras and teaching the son of the founder of Khan Academy to learn geometry through picture recognition became popular around the world. On the global social platforms, ChatGPT is more and more like a "person" with the most comments on GPT 4-o.
In this era when artificial intelligence (AI) is getting closer to "people", enterprise users' AI technology is bound to become one of the mainstream trends in the IT industry. Therefore, the leading cloud AI network security platform provider Check Point ® Software Technology Co., Ltd. continues to work closely with NVIDIA to provide reliable accelerated network and cloud security solutions for enterprises. The combination of Check Point's rich experience in advanced threat defense and NVIDIA's advanced accelerated computing platform can help enterprises achieve excellent security protection in the fastest network. This multi-year cooperation between Check Point and NVIDIA involves three major aspects: first, ensure that the AI cloud infrastructure supported by NVIDIA BlueField Data Processing Unit (DPU) is secure, and help enterprises develop and deploy AI applications safely. Secondly, use the high-speed NVIDIA ConnectX network platform to check the firewall and enhance network security protection. Third, with the help of intelligent switches based on NVIDIA Spectrum platform, cloud scale network security protection is provided locally.
Ensure the security of AI cloud infrastructure
As more and more enterprises begin to use AI technology to promote innovation and achieve business growth, ensuring AI system security becomes extremely important. Since most AI training is done in the cloud, it is necessary to ensure that the AI cloud infrastructure is secure. Any damage to the cloud environment will affect AI application development and deployment capabilities. The 2024 Cloud Security Report of Check Point shows that ensuring cloud security has always been a major challenge. Last year, 61% of enterprises suffered from cloud security incidents, of which 21% suffered from data leakage. At the same time, 96% of enterprises said that they faced challenges in security risk management capability, mainly due to the lack of visibility into the entire threat environment. Traditional cloud security solutions do not do enough to prevent threats in multi cloud, local or edge workloads, and cannot effectively protect data and assets from new network attacks.
Check Point AI Cloud Protect can meet the dynamic security requirements of the AI era and easily meet these security challenges. It is not only easy to deploy and adaptable, but also can provide out of the box security protection and support easy integration while ensuring the best AI performance. It is also optimized for large-scale expansion and can effectively resist complex network threats. AI Cloud Protect is deployed on the NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPU platform (supporting the new AI cloud data center) and the NVIDIA DOCA software framework, and can be seamlessly integrated into the NVIDIA AI acceleration data center to provide a strong defense against AI specific threats.
Provide strong defense against AI specific threats: support enterprises to effectively resist model inversion, model theft and other attack vectors.
Scalable seamless integration: easy to deploy in different AI environments, which can ensure that security measures continue to expand with the needs of the organization.
Zero compromise performance optimization: use NVIDIA's technical infrastructure to ensure that AI operation and maintenance are always smooth and unimpeded without affecting AI performance, while the security process is running covertly.
Provide high-performance firewall support for Quantum Force AI security gateway
Check Point's new Quantum Force security gateway uses NVIDIA's latest ConnectX-7 network card (NIC). These modular network cards provide software defined hardware accelerated firewall packet processing capability through 40/100G ports running at wire speed throughput, and can support the Quantum Force security gateway to maintain a firewall throughput of up to 1400 Gbps (1.4 Tbps) for a single device, which is 10 times higher than the non accelerated solution. In addition, the performance and port density of the Check Point security gateway have been improved by two times, while the energy consumption is the lowest in the industry.
These advanced technologies are the key to managing "elephant flow". "Elephant flow" refers to large-scale continuous data transmission, which may damage the overall network performance if not handled properly. Now, enterprises and cloud operators can protect and split their internal traffic at a very high speed, and perform a large number of daily virtual machine migrations and terabyte level backups in minutes rather than hours. In addition, enterprises using delay sensitive applications can also protect large volume transactions (including high-frequency transactions) at the speed of several 100 Gbps, while maintaining ultra-low latency of less than 2 microseconds.
Use Check Point Quantum Maestro and NVIDIA Spectrum together to achieve advanced network security protection
The Quantum Maestro Orchestrator intelligent load sharing firewall cluster of Check Point seamlessly integrates the Ethernet switch platform based on NVIDIA Spectrum. This innovative design not only provides leading security throughput of up to 1000 Gbps (1 Tbps) in 99.999% elastic systems, ensuring critical network security scalability, but also supports Check Point's Gaia advanced security operating system to run directly on these advanced switches (orchestrators). Therefore, enterprises can enjoy the first-class security operating system tailored for high-performance applications while obtaining the unparalleled data plane connectivity of high-speed Ethernet switches, and achieve zero day protection without affecting the comprehensive layer 1-7 deep packet inspection.
Collaboration to enhance network security protection
Check Point believes that this cooperation with NVIDIA is not only about product integration, but also provides a forward-looking approach to meet modern network security challenges in the AI era. With the help of the latest technology, Check Point not only helps users improve their security capabilities, but also lays a solid foundation for a more secure and reliable future of unlimited digital.
