Check Point Software Technologies has launched AI Cloud Protect, a next-generation security solution designed to safeguard artificial intelligence systems from emerging cyber threats.
The new platform, developed in collaboration with NVIDIA, focuses on securing AI models, workloads, and agentic applications used in enterprise environments, without compromising performance.
The company confirmed that AI Cloud Protect is now available for on-premises enterprise use and has been validated on NVIDIA RTX PRO Servers.
Built on NVIDIA’s BlueField technology, it enables organisations to secure AI model development and inference workloads both in data centres and cloud environments.
“As enterprises race to build AI-driven innovation, they can’t afford blind spots,” said Nataly Kremer, Chief Product Officer at Check Point. “With NVIDIA, we’re making AI factories secure by design—protecting models, data, and infrastructure without slowing innovation.”
The rise of AI has exposed enterprises to new and complex risks. According to Check Point data, one in every 80 generative AI prompts reveals sensitive information, while Gartner reports that nearly one-third of organisations suffered an AI-related security incident in the past year, ranging from prompt manipulation to infrastructure attacks.
AI Cloud Protect was built to address these vulnerabilities head-on. Running on NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPUs, it delivers full-stack protection without consuming CPU or GPU resources, putting an end to the common trade-off between security and performance.
Its network-level defence prevents unauthorised access, data poisoning, and model exfiltration. At the host level, it leverages NVIDIA’s DOCA Argus framework for direct memory access, offering full visibility into active processes on AI nodes to detect and block malicious workloads, even within downloaded large language models.
“Security is essential for the next generation of AI infrastructure,” said David Reber, chief security officer at NVIDIA. “NVIDIA is working with Check Point to integrate BlueField acceleration and the NVIDIA DOCA Argus runtime security framework into the AI Cloud Protect platform to help enterprises deploy AI confidently.”
The solution will also extend to NVIDIA’s upcoming BlueField-4 DPU, which promises six times more compute power and double the network throughput, setting the stage for faster and more scalable AI operations.
Beyond AI Cloud Protect, Check Point’s AI security portfolio includes CloudGuard Web Application Firewall (WAF) with Lakera integration, designed to block prompt injection and jailbreak threats in enterprise AI applications.
Another solution, Infinity GenAI Protect, helps organisations monitor generative AI usage, apply policies, and prevent sensitive data exposure across teams. Together, these solutions aim to deliver end-to-end protection across the AI ecosystem, from infrastructure to user level.
The company is currently piloting AI Cloud Protect with select financial services firms and partners like World Wide Technology (WWT), focusing on protecting data centres supporting large language model development.
“As enterprises build AI server factories at scale, the combination of Check Point’s AI Cloud Protect and NVIDIA BlueField acceleration delivers enterprise-grade protection for sensitive AI workloads from model training to inference without compromising the performance modern AI applications demand,” said Chris Konrad, vice president, Global Cyber, WWT.
Check Point is addressing data leakage, model manipulation, and infrastructure threats, while enabling organisations to innovate confidently in this phase of intelligent computing.
