SP 800-239, AI Data Center Security Analysis: A High-Performance Computing (HPC) Driven ApproachInitial Public Draft

Building upon established principles from high-performance computing (HPC) threat analyses and security overlays, this publication delivers a thorough threat and security gap analysis for purpose-built AI infrastructure used in model training, inference, and applications. By contrasting AI data centers with traditional HPC systems across architecture, hardware, software stacks, workflows, and storage systems, the publication pinpoints critical security threats and outlines possible solutions to safeguard next-generation AI environments. NOTE: A call for patent claims is included in this draft. For additional information, see the Information Technology Laboratory (ITL) Patent Policy--Inclusion of Patents in ITL Publications.
