Eclypsium launches GenAI assessment skills for Supply Chain Security Platform

Tue, 14th May 2024

Eclypsium has introduced novel GenAI assessment competencies for its Supply Chain Security Platform. The function will include coverage for GenAI hardware and training models, meeting the changing demands for IT leaders to confront modern security susceptibilities within the increasingly established GenAI technology stack.

The contemporary capabilities offered by Eclypsium will ensure pivotal infrastructure integrity and security monitoring for GenAI hardware. In doing so, they will be filling a critical gap that attackers have been noted to target. Moreover, they simplify the process for organisations to verify the integrity of GenAI models, facilitating IT leaders' risk evaluation.

Making an announcement at the RSA conference in San Francisco, the supply chain security company expressed how it plans to extend its digital supply chain security to incorporate GenAI hardware and training models. With the growing demand for GenAI, IT infrastructure is experiencing rapid changes to accommodate the training and inference requirements. Such changes are driving data centre operators to redesign their facilities, adapting to the specificities of GenAI workloads through new types of power and cooling systems and accelerated adoption of optical interconnects.

As the GenAI tech stack increases in complexity, the IT industry finds itself forced to address emerging security concerns. Eclypsium's support for NVIDIA hardware, featuring the NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPU, empowers cloud service providers and other data centre operators to identify vulnerabilities and insecure configurations and detect compromise. On the other hand, the addition of popular GenAI foundation models to Eclypsium's supply chain intelligence encourages organisations to better understand and compare the risk of varied closed- and open-source GenAI foundation models.

Yuriy Bulygin, CEO and Co-Founder of Eclypsium stated, "Today, GenAI impacts every organisation as we learn how it can make people more productive and our products more effective." He continued, "While GenAI is transforming the way we interact with technology and the world, it creates unique security challenges. We need to understand how to securely build, deploy, and use GenAI models and agents and how to protect the infrastructure they run on."

Eclypsium's new suite of features allows users to monitor and remediate risks in well-known NVIDIA hardware used to train GenAI models continuously. Similar to standard server infrastructure, GenAI workloads rely on systems composed of intricate hardware and firmware components, each having complex supply chains. Eclypsium's platform provides the third-party assurance and validation required by cloud service providers and other data centre operators to trust their GenAI hardware infrastructure.

Furthermore, Eclypsium's support for popular GenAI models empowers its customers to easily compare the vulnerability and software characteristics of models used within GenAI applications. This includes models like Claude (Anthropic), ColBERT (Stanford University), Command R+ (Cohere), GPT (Open AI), DBRX (DataBricks), Gemini (Google), Llama (Meta), Mixtral (Mistral AI), RoBERTa (Meta), WizardLM (Microsoft), and Zephyr (Hugging Face). Such advanced supply chain intelligence allows development teams to make risk-informed decisions when choosing a fundamental model for both internal and commercial GenAI applications.
