Deloitte announced the expansion of S2S AI Factory as a Service to include advanced cybersecurity from Palo Alto Networks. Built on the NVIDIA AI platform, this scalable suite of Generative AI (GenAI) capabilities includes Deloitte's custom use cases for fast-tracked, scalable GenAI deployments. AI Factory as a Service integrates Deloitte's data science, model design and industry knowledge with NVIDIA accelerated computing infrastructure and NVIDIA AI Enterprise software, optimized network and storage, pre-integrated data management, training and inferencing services — delivering customized GenAI solutions that are secure, efficient, and cost-effective.

The expansion includes Palo Alto Networks' Secure AI by Design solutions that help empower organizations to innovate with AI confidently, embedding security throughout the AI lifecycle. This approach includes:

• Prisma AIRS™ enables organizations to safely build, deploy and run AI applications. It is a comprehensive AI security platform that protects the entire enterprise AI ecosystem including AI apps, agents, models, and data. The capabilities of the platform include AI Model Scanning, Posture Management, AI Red Teaming, Runtime Security and AI Agent Security.
• AI Access Security™ enables workers to safely access and use third-party GenAI applications by reducing data and security risks. It provides real-time visibility into GenAI adoption and usage, enforces access control and prevents sensitive, proprietary data from being inadvertently leaked to unauthorized GenAI apps and their training models.

"Organizations are contending with many barriers to widespread AI adoption, including security, safety and even performance. These cyber capabilities and solutions can aid in effectively navigating these challenges while securely implementing AI," said Kieran Norton, US Cyber AI & Automation leader, Deloitte & Touche LLP. "Together with NVIDIA and Palo Alto Networks on S2S AI Factory as a Service, we can help clients drive AI adoption, resilience and innovation across the enterprise."

Deloitte has designed and developed tailored cybersecurity solutions, leveraging NVIDIA and Palo Alto Networks' AI security solutions, to demonstrate capabilities like detection of cyber threats through the use of AI deep learning models (e.g., zero day threat and lateral movement); data lake enablers supporting high-speed data ingestion and rapid processing for AI model training and inference, which is optimized with NVIDIA Morpheus; frameworks and test harnesses for evaluating model performance across both on-premises and cloud infrastructures; and AI model enablement through NVIDIA NIM microservices and large language models using a high-utility prompt and the NVIDIA NeMo Guardrails framework.

The potential benefits of Deloitte's expanded AI Factory as a Service extend beyond just security. The service provides AI governance with advanced model lifecycle management and helps align to regulatory compliance. Additionally, it offers expanded AI adoption accelerated by enterprise-scale GPU usage. Organizations can also benefit from end-to-end security posture management to safeguard datasets, AI models and the full infrastructure stack.
