Xsight Labs has announced a collaboration with Cyber Forza to integrate Cyber Forza’s AI-based security software with Xsight Labs’ X2 Ethernet 12.8 Tbps Software-Defined Networking (SDN) switch and E1 800G Data Processing Unit (DPU) Edge Server chips. The joint platform targets hyperscale data centers, colocation providers, and edge infrastructure by offering real-time threat detection and security automation at 400G and 800G Ethernet connectivity levels.
According to the announcement, this integration brings together Xsight Labs’ 800G DPU-enabled hardware, which is available as a PCIe add-in card or 1RU edge server, with Cyber Forza’s Zero Trust Integrated Cloud AI Cyber Defense Platform. The combined product suite features real-time machine-learning-based threat detection, Zero Trust enforcement, vulnerability assessment, endpoint protection, and automated compliance for regulatory frameworks such as NIST, HIPAA, HITRUST, CMMC, and FedRAMP.
The Smart Switch platform includes fully programmable X2 SDN Ethernet switch silicon (12.8 Tbps), supporting high security policy scale and energy efficiency for multi-tenant environments. The system is designed for deployment in hyperscale cloud, artificial intelligence (AI) data centers, and remote edge networks, with no compromise on network speed or policy scalability.
Xsight Labs reports its E1 800G DPU Edge Server chip and evaluation systems began shipping to customers in June 2025. The E1-series 800G DPU PCIe add-in card is slated for release in November 2025, and the X2 switch has been generally available since November 2024. These integrated solutions will be demonstrated at the 2025 Open Compute Project (OCP) Global Summit taking place from October 13 to 16 in San Jose, California.
“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. “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.”
