NVIDIA unveils a new cybersecurity solution developed at its Israeli R&D center, designed to protect largescale artificial intelligence infrastructures — dubbed “AI Factories”. These refer to hyperscale data centers that process vast amounts of information to generate valuable insights using AI models.

The new platform, NVIDIA DOCA Argus, runs on NVIDIA BlueField data processing units (DPUs), also developed in Israel, and is part of the company’s DOCA software framework. The system detects threats in real-time, offering a response rate up to 1,000 times faster than conventional security solutions currently available on the market.

BlueField DPUs are critical components of AI Factories, providing accelerated networking, storage, and security capabilities. Because DOCA Argus operates on the DPU — independent of the host server’s CPU, operating system, or installed software — it delivers universal compatibility across all AI computing environments.

NVIDIA also revealed that it is currently building a new AI Factory for Cisco, which will be based on this architecture and integrate the DOCA Argus security platform. This announcement underscores Israel’s growing strategic role in NVIDIA’s global innovation efforts, particularly in the development of next-generation data center technologies at the intersection of AI and cybersecurity.
