InfraMetric Analytics
A specialized infrastructure security and training company. Our name is a portmanteau from "Infrastructure metrics": manageable and measurable security policies and programs.
What We Do
Data Center (DC) and High Performance Computing Infrastructure (HPCI) Security
Data Center and High Performance Computing (HPC) infrastructures (e.g. AI/ML) are not like enterprise environments when it comes to security. We offer the following specialized services :
- Infiniband Training, including security
- Security Solution design
- Zero Trust Architecture training
- Security Training and Awareness
Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) and Interdependence
Managing the risks presented by Critical Infrastructure (CI) Interdependence is complicated. Worse, most attempts are highly subjective, based on intuition and can't be reproduced (a different person would get a different answer using the same approach). We offer the following specialized services:
- Training on CI risk measurement and management
- CI Risk assessment and consulting
What Is High Performance Computing Infrastructure (HPCI)?
High Performance Computing
High Performance Computing (HPC) involves clusters of powerful computers designed to solve complex computational problems at high speeds, enabling advanced scientific research, simulations and applications like Artificial Intelligence (AI).
"Security is essential to achieving the anticipated benefits of HPC. HPC systems bear some resemblance to enterprise IT computing, which allows for the effective application of traditional IT security solutions. However, they also have significant differences. An HPC system is designed to maximize performance, so its architecture, hardware components, software stacks, and working environment are very different from enterprise IT." (Source: NIST 800-223 - Feb 2024)
High Performance Computing Infrastructure (HPCI)
HPC Infrastructure is the platform that lives within Data Centers (DCs) and makes it possible to run world-changing applications like modeling, simulations and AI. It refers to the combination of computing hardware, networking, storage and management software that are specifically designed and integrated to create a high performance computing environment. HPC application software, in contrast, consumes HPCI as a platform or utility.
What is Critical Infrastructure Protection and Interdependence?
1
Critical Infrastructure
Critical infrastructure consists of physical and cyber systems and assets vital to a nation's safety, security and prosperity. Typically grouped as sectors, CI can be both goods and services, public or private in ownership and operation.
2
Critical Infrastructure Interdependence
Critical infrastructure Interdependence refers to the reliance of different infrastructure systems on each other, where disruptions can lead to cascading effects across multiple sectors and services.
