As part of its ongoing commitment to advancing innovation and the safe adoption of new technologies for maritime and critical infrastructure, cybersecurity solutions company Cydome has joined the prestigious NVIDIA Inception Program, which supports AI ventures driving industry transformation.
The collaboration with NVIDIA will help keep Cydome’s customers protected even from the latest AI threats and enable safe adoption of new AI use cases, as the industry becomes more digital and advanced.
NVIDIA Inception is a program designed to help startups accelerate technical innovation and business growth at all stages. Inception is free and supports members of its global community with valuable benefits from NVIDIA and partners. The program’s benefits are tailored for startups and include technical tools and training for AI developers, preferred pricing on NVIDIA hardware and software, and opportunities to connect with NVIDIA’s network of venture capital firms.
As satellite connectivity accelerates with broadband quality LEO services, shipping and critical infrastructure companies are adopting more innovation, from digitalizing safety and operational systems to implementing various AI use cases. AI is no longer a buzzword even for maritime and energy companies: Lloyd’s Register (LR) reports 300 percent growth in AI use in maritime companies in the past 12 months, and McKinsey reports that of the companies in the energy sector, 59 percent of respondents use at least one AI function regularly.
However, AI also brings a plethora of threats. Malicious actors use AI to create more sophisticated phishing attacks and rapidly exploit newly published vulnerabilities. The AI models are prone to hacking and misuse, which can result in the exfiltration of sensitive data. So while AI brings considerable promise, the transformation is also prone to risks.
The collaboration between Cydome and NVIDIA will leverage the latest technologies and innovation to ensure the maritime and critical infrastructure industries are secure from the latest AI threats.
