What sets Nvidia’s cybercrime AI platform apart from regular offerings is that its BlueField-3 data processing unit acts as a “virtual security overlay” rather than relying on “intrusive methods or software agents” to defend against threats.
In order to safeguard critical infrastructure, Nvidia announced that solution provider superstar World Wide Technology, along with safety innovators CrowdStrike, Check Point Software Technologies, and Armis, has adopted its security AI system.
The partners were scheduled to present at the S4 meeting on Wednesday, according to the AI technology giant, explaining how they are utilizing the Nvidia security AI system to “deliver real-time threat detection and critical infrastructure protection.”

In this context, operational technologies ( OT ) and industrial control systems ( ICS) are increasingly interconnected with IT systems.
WWT, CrowdStrike, Check Point and Armis are helping energy, utility and manufacturing customers protect against cyber threats with the Nvidia cybersecurity AI platform, which combines Nvidia’s BlueField-3 data processing units ( DPUs ) with its DOCA programming framework and Nvidia Morpheus AI cybersecurity framework, Nvidia said.
The BlueField-3 DPU acts as a “virtual safety overlay,” according to Nvidia, distinguishes its security AI platform from regular offerings because it doesn’t rely on “intrusive methods or application agents” to defend against threats.
Without compromising system visitors, they check for sponsor integrity and prevent opportunistic behavior. Acting as embedded sensors within each client, they flow monitoring data to Nvidia Morpheus, enabling detailed monitoring of host activities, network traffic and application behaviors—seamlessly and without administrative impact”, Nvidia wrote in a blog post.
Armis is integrating Nvidia’s cybersecurity AI platform into Armis Centrix, a cyber exposure management platform that is designed to protect critical infrastructure in industries like energy, manufacturing, health care and transportation, according to Nvidia.
“OT environments are increasingly targeted by sophisticated cyber threats, requiring robust solutions that ensure both security and operational continuity”, said Nadir Izrael, co-founder and CTO of Armis, in a statement.
” Combining Armis ‘ unmatched platform for OT security and cyber exposure management with Nvidia BlueField-3 DPUs enables organizations to comprehensively protect cyber-physical systems without compromising operations,” he continued.
CrowdStrike, on the other hand, plans to deploy its CrowdStrike Falcon security agent on BlueField-3 DPUs” to boost real-time AI-powered threat detection and response”.
” 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 organizations stay ahead of modern threats”, said Raj Rajamani, head of products at CrowdStrike, in a statement.
