NVIDIA and Booz Allen Hamilton Expand Partnership to Bring AI-Enabled Cybersecurity to Public and Private Sectors
September 20 2022 - 12:24PM
GTC—NVIDIA and Booz Allen Hamilton (NYSE: BAH)
today announced an expanded collaboration to bring an AI-enabled,
GPU-accelerated cybersecurity platform to customers in the public
and private sectors.
The platform enables next-generation incident response systems
that help customers pinpoint cybersecurity threats. It is powered
by NVIDIA GPUs and NVIDIA Morpheus, the only open-source,
giant-scale, GPU-accelerated AI cybersecurity processing
framework.
To help customers respond to threats rapidly, Booz Allen has
developed the Cyber Precog, built upon the Morpheus platform. Cyber
Precog is a GPU-accelerated software platform that provides
operationally honed, mission-relevant AI models and modular
pipelines for rapid deployment at the edge. Cyber Precog provides
the software paradigm necessary to power the Cyber Precog Flyaway
Kit, a GPU-powered edge server custom designed to support cyber
operations in degraded and disconnected environments.
Cyber Precog enables NVIDIA GPU acceleration of the kit’s data
ingestion at 300x the rate of CPUs, while boosting AI training by
32x and AI inference by 24x. This allows Booz Allen customers to
achieve performance from a single NVIDIA GPU node that is
equivalent to 135 CPU-only server nodes.
Booz Allen and NVIDIA are also collaborating on next-generation
solutions powered by the cybersecurity platform.
“Traffic moving through the modern data center continues to
expand, propelled by innovations such as AI and connected devices,
and it’s increasingly susceptible to potential breaches and
attacks,” said Justin Boitano, vice president of enterprise
platforms at NVIDIA. “NVIDIA Morpheus enables innovators to create
zero-trust technologies that detect and eliminate threats as they
arise.”
“Our customers operate in many resource-constrained
environments,” said Matt Tarascio, senior vice president at Booz
Allen. “NVIDIA GPUs, along with NVIDIA’s Morpheus framework, allow
us to bring enterprise capability to the edge, so that the best
analytic, data processing and AI capability can be delivered to the
mission. Developing Cyber Precog is one example of the many ways in
which we are working rapidly to unlock advanced tradecraft, develop
unique capabilities and deploy scalable solutions — all of which
integrate seamlessly into our customers’ missions to help them
achieve cyber advantage.”
Morpheus is a GPU-accelerated software framework offering
cybersecurity developers, for the first time, the ability to
inspect all network traffic in real time, flag anomalies and
provide insights to help address threats quickly. The latest
release of Morpheus includes updates to pre-built workflows,
including new visualization capabilities for digital fingerprinting
and sensitive information detection. New visualizations enable
faster threat identification and remediation by security
analysts.
Availability The NVIDIA Morpheus cybersecurity
processing framework can be deployed in public clouds, hybrid
clouds or hosted on premises and is available for download on
NVIDIA NGC™ and GitHub.
