TEL AVIV and NEW YORK, MAY 2, 2024 - Sygnia, the world's largest cyber preparedness and response team, today announced a collaboration with NVIDIA to revolutionize cybersecurity in the energy and industrial sectors with AI-powered edge solutions . The initiative combines Sygnia's Pathfinder sensors and Velocity XDR platform with NVIDIA BlueField DPUs and the NVIDIA Morpheus cybersecurity AI framework to improve data collection and threat detection and response. This hardware and software solution.
The energy and industrial sectors have long relied on "air-gapping" to protect operational technology (OT) environments, separating corporate IT and OT networks to limit opportunities for attackers. While still important for cybersecurity OT environments, such strict network separation also hinders traditional data collection and limits organizations' ability to detect and respond to threats in OT environments. Additionally, with the advent of digital transformation and increased reliance on Industrial Internet of Things (I-IoT) devices, the space is rarely complete, creating opportunities for threat actors to infiltrate environments. of OT.
The lack of an effective approach to OT security using traditional techniques requires a game-changing approach, specifically the use of hardware-accelerated solutions that enable data collection and analysis, out-of-band communication for monitoring and visibility, as well as to support the preventive capabilities that are already common in IT environments.
Sygnia's collaboration with NVIDIA focuses on developing advanced artificial intelligence, data collection and processing capabilities to detect and respond to cyber incidents in networks and industrial control systems. Deploying Sygnia's specialized Pathfinder sensors on NVIDIA BlueField DPUs provides enhanced data collection and analysis, and the combination of NVIDIA Morpheus and Sygnia's Velocity XDR platform enables enhanced, AI-driven threat detection and response across the board. the perimeter. By feeding both pre-trained NVIDIA Morpheus models and models trained with datasets from Sygnia's extensive experience covering incidents around the world through the Velocity XDR platform, the solution will enable rapid response to threats. in OT environments that were often previously undetectable.
"As cyber threats in industrial and critical infrastructure environments grow in number and impact, this new paradigm will allow defenders a significant advantage over traditional methods, allowing them to proactively anticipate and quickly respond to emerging risks. "By leveraging NVIDIA technologies, Sygnia is poised to help redefine cybersecurity in these vital sectors, protecting against evolving threats and ensuring the resilience of our critical systems and infrastructure."
Ram Elboim, CEO of SygniaÂ
"It is imperative that robust cybersecurity measures protect the world's critical energy infrastructure. Combining NVIDIA's accelerated computing platform with Sygnia's advanced cybersecurity technologies will help protect the energy and industrial sectors with the power of AI" .
Marc Spieler, Senior General Manager of Global Power at NVIDIAÂ
Availability
Velocity Edge, Sygnia's hardware-accelerated MXDR service, will be available in Q3 2024 in an early access program, with full deployment expected in Q4 2024.
