Xsight Labs, a leader in intelligent connectivity solutions, has announced a collaboration with Cyber Forza to integrate AI-driven cybersecurity with high-performance AIC, Edge Server, and Smart Switch platforms. This partnership enhances workload efficiency and user policy scalability for demanding multitenant environments in AI infrastructure and edge computing.
Legacy x86 systems restrict existing security solutions to 100G or 200G connectivity, lacking energy efficiency for AI-era demands. Networking and security acceleration chips often require complex programming and face constraints in CPU types and core counts. Next-generation DPUs are essential to handle increased processing and faster connectivity in advanced cybersecurity services. This Xsight Labs and Cyber Forza partnership tackles these issues by combining high-performance silicon with AI-driven software, advancing secure networking in hyperscale data centers and edge AI applications.
The joint solution achieves new benchmarks in port speed, energy efficiency, and security policy scale for next-generation infrastructure. Cyber Forza's Zero Trust Integrated Cloud AI Cyber Defense Platform provides comprehensive protection across infrastructure, operating systems, Ethernet networks, applications, users, and devices. It implements Zero Trust principles with layers including identity and access management, endpoint security, threat and vulnerability management, and integrated threat defense. Key features encompass AI-driven anomaly and threat detection for real-time machine-learning defense, robust Zero Trust architecture, least-privilege access enforcement, and automated compliance aligned with standards like NIST and HIPAA. This integration supports SASE, remote site cyber defense, endpoint protection, and threat access management, optimizing IT security solutions for multitenant workloads.
The collaboration enables Cyber Forza's platform on Xsight Labs' bare-metal systems, including the only 800G security platform as a PCIe AIC or 1RU edge server. It features the highest-performing fixed-port 1RU Smart Switch and the industry's first line-rate 6.4T SDN for all layers L1-L7. AI-driven security services and networking orchestration provide real-time threat detection, Zero Trust enforcement, and anomaly vulnerability assessments. These advancements in DPU technology and Ethernet switches facilitate superior efficiency over x86 systems, supporting 400G and 800G connectivity for energy-efficient intelligent networks in AI data centers.
“Cybersecurity and performance can no longer be separate conversations; it’s about orchestrated intelligence, adaptability, and trust,” said Dr. Venkat Rayapati, CEO of Cyber Forza Inc. “Partnering with Xsight Labs allows us to deliver a variety of form factors ranging from a 2x400G AIC up to 16x400G in a modular Smart Switch system. This gives our customers the most advanced AI-driven cybersecurity operations platform, ensuring customers can scale their digital infrastructure with confidence from edge to core. Porting our AI Cyber Security Operations platform from x86 to Arm on Xsight’s DPU and switch was straightforward due to their open programming model and excellent customer applications support engineers.”
“By combining our high-performance 800G DPU and Ethernet Switch Silicon with Cyber Forza’s AI-driven security stack, we are proving superior efficiency over traditional x86 based systems while increasing the networking connectivity to 400G and 2x400G. I believe the Smart Switches entering the market now will be setting a new standard for in-network services and energy-efficient intelligent network infrastructure,” said Ted Weatherford, VP Business Development, Xsight Labs. “This partnership delivers a comprehensive security suite built on the highest performing AIC, Edge Server, and Smart Switch service platforms, which are uniquely enabled with the Xsight Labs’ E1 and X2 chipset.”
This partnership equips enterprises with scalable, secure platforms that integrate AI cybersecurity seamlessly into high-speed networking, paving the way for efficient, compliant operations in the evolving landscape of data center technologies and edge computing.
