Trend Micro, a global cybersecurity leader, has announced a new integration with NVIDIA BlueField data processing units (DPUs) to embed security directly into the data center infrastructure powering AI factories. This collaboration is designed to help organizations deploy AI faster and more securely by offloading and accelerating threat detection at the infrastructure layer, meeting the stringent compliance needs of multi-tenant AI clouds and government agencies.
Quick Intel
Trend Micro integrates its Vision One endpoint security with NVIDIA BlueField DPUs.
Security is embedded in the data center layer for scalable AI factory protection.
The solution offloads cybersecurity tasks from the CPU, improving performance.
It is validated for NVIDIA RTX PRO Servers and the NVIDIA AI Factory for Government.
Trend also integrates with NVIDIA NeMo Guardrails for AI application security.
The combined offering provides hardware-enforced isolation against advanced threats.
Hardware-Enforced Security for AI Infrastructure
The integration deploys Trend Vision One™ Endpoint Security directly on the NVIDIA BlueField DPU, a specialized processor that offloads and isolates infrastructure tasks from the main CPU. This allows for the collection and monitoring of host and network information, correlated with Trend's threat intelligence, to detect suspicious behavior without impacting the performance of critical AI workloads. This approach establishes a new class of endpoint detection and response specifically for high-speed AI environments. Rachel Jin, Chief Enterprise Platform Officer at Trend Micro, stated: "Agentic AI promises to unleash a new era of productivity, efficiency, and business agility, but only if we build it on secure foundations. Our combined offering with NVIDIA will establish a new market standard for peak performance deployments."
Extending Protection to the AI Application Layer
Beyond infrastructure security, Trend Micro is also addressing risks at the application layer of Agentic AI. Trend Vision One™ AI Application Security (AI Guard) natively integrates with NVIDIA NeMo Guardrails. This integration provides a streamlined way for security teams to define, test, and enforce safety and security policies for large language models (LLMs), protecting against risks like prompt injection, data leakage, and tool abuse. Ofir Arkin, Sr. Distinguished Architect for Cybersecurity at NVIDIA, said: "By integrating with NVIDIA BlueField, Trend Vision One establishes a new class of endpoint detection and response for AI factories, combining hardware-enforced isolation with real-time threat insights to safeguard critical AI assets at the data center layer."
A Comprehensive Approach to AI Safety
The joint solution strengthens Agentic AI safety across three critical areas: content moderation to filter toxic outputs, security through hardware-enforced isolation to prevent jailbreaks, and privacy with built-in compliance for regulations like GDPR and HIPAA. The platform also automates policy updates and remediation across the AI stack.
This integration represents a significant advancement in securing the next generation of AI-driven infrastructure. By embedding protection directly into the hardware and extending it to the application layer, Trend Micro and NVIDIA provide a foundational security model for scalable and compliant AI operations.
