AI and Data Centres

The Artificial Intelligence revolution is powered by hyperscale data centres, which house massive clusters of specialized compute (GPUs, NPUs, FPGAs and other accelerators), storage arrays, and incredible volumes of training data. The security of this AI supply chain, from the silicon to the complex orchestration software, is paramount.

Security flaws in the firmware of servers, accelerators, and networking gear can expose highly valuable model weights and sensitive training data to theft, manipulation (like data poisoning), or sabotage. Given the immense financial and intellectual property value concentrated in these facilities, a foundational hardware or firmware vulnerability can lead to nation-state level breaches and catastrophic business disruption.

Tetrel provides crucial assurance for vendors, cloud providers, and users operating in the AI and high-performance computing, storage, and networking accelerator spaces. We specialize in hardening the most fundamental components of the data center infrastructure on which the AI applications execute.

We deliver comprehensive services focused on foundational security for hardware and firmware, including:

  • Deep-Dive Firmware and RTL Review: Assessing boot processes, trusted execution environments, confidential-compute, secure management access (e.g., BMC), and cryptographic implementations on all core devices.
  • Supply Chain Risk Mitigation: Evaluating the security posture of third-party components and ensuring robust code integrity measures are in place. This includes OCP S.A.F.E. and Caliptra Trademark Auditing assessments.
