GTC --
NVIDIA today
announced the NVIDIA Morpheus application framework, which provides
cybersecurity partners with a complete suite of accelerated AI
skills that detect and prevent security threats as they happen.
NVIDIA Morpheus is a cloud-native cybersecurity framework which
uses machine learning to identify, capture and take action on
threats and anomalies that were previously impossible to identify,
including leaks of unencrypted sensitive data, phishing attacks and
malware. Deploying Morpheus with security applications takes
advantage of NVIDIA AI computing and NVIDIA® BlueField®-3 DPUs to
provide users the ability to protect their data center from its
core to the edge.
“Zero-trust security models demand we monitor every transaction
in the data center in real time. This poses a significant technical
challenge – needing to sense intrusion within the server, detecting
threats immediately, and operating at the data rate of modern data
centers,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “NVIDIA
Morpheus combines Mellanox in-server networking and NVIDIA AI to do
real-time, all-packet inspection to anticipate threats and
eliminate them as they arise.”
Morpheus, when combined with BlueField DPUs, enables every
compute node in the network to serve as a cyber-defense sensor at
the edge, letting organizations analyze every packet with line-rate
speed without data replication. In contrast, traditional AI
security tools typically sample around five percent of network
traffic data, leading to threat-detection algorithms based on
incomplete models.
Morpheus applies real-time telemetry, policy enforcement and
processing at the edge coupled with AI to analyze more security
data without sacrificing cost or performance. Developers can also
create their own Morpheus AI skills using deep learning models,
leveraging existing IP investments.
AI-Enabled Security EcosystemLeading hardware,
software and cybersecurity solutions providers are working closely
with NVIDIA to optimize and integrate data center security
offerings with the NVIDIA Morpheus AI framework. This includes
industry leaders ARIA Cybersecurity Solutions, Cloudflare, F5,
Fortinet and Guardicore, along with hybrid-cloud platform providers
Canonical, Red Hat and VMware.
“Defending complex and evolving environments requires constant
visibility,” said Adam Mishler, chief information security officer
at Best Buy. “Providing real-time, dynamic network maps will help
identify areas where we can further strengthen our posture and
serve as a foundation for enhancing ML-based anomaly detection. The
NVIDIA Morpheus framework helps provide a flexible and scalable
platform for anomaly detection capable of adapting with the ever
changing cyber-threat landscape.”
“With a rapidly expanding attack surface, our tools for advanced
detection at the edge are becoming increasingly important,” said
Aaron Sant-Miller, a chief data scientist at Booz Allen Hamilton.
“We’ve partnered with NVIDIA to design, develop and deliver
portable cyber AI tools that address this need. Morpheus is the
foundation for our Cyber Precog Flyaway Kit, an AI-enabled
cyber-hunt platform that packs data center compute into a small,
ruggedized GPU form factor.”
“Splunk is excited to collaborate with NVIDIA to uncover more
ways to utilize GPU-accelerated deep learning to enhance how we
help our joint customers turn their data into doing,” said Tim
Tully, senior vice president and chief technology officer at
Splunk. “We look forward to using the Morpheus framework to
potentially provide a path for our team to quickly prototype and
integrate new capabilities in our platform, as well as offload
compute-intensive tasks to GPU architectures to aid our
customers.”
Additionally, Morpheus is optimized to run on NVIDIA-Certified
Systems™ from the world’s leading server manufacturers, including
Atos, Dell Technologies, GIGABYTE, H3C, HPE, Inspur, Lenovo, QCT
and Supermicro.
AvailabilityNetworking and cybersecurity
developers, software partners, startups and computer manufacturers
can apply now for early access to the NVIDIA Morpheus platform.
