Cross-vendor security inventory and hardening for data center and neocloud infrastructure

Almost every security product assumes the machine underneath it is trustworthy. Lava works below that line, on the management and firmware layer that vendors ship, operators rarely patch, and no agent-based tool can see. The platform assembles a single cross-vendor graph of the physical estate, covering baseboard management controllers, top-of-rack and fabric switches, GPUs, storage controllers, and hosts, and normalizes the configuration and firmware state of equipment from NVIDIA, Dell, HPE, Supermicro, Lenovo, Cisco, Arista, Intel, and AMD into one inventory. From there it monitors for configuration drift, compares the estate against hardening baselines, and ranks exposures by what is actually reachable.

The urgency of the problem is greatest in neocloud and GPU cloud environments, where a customer renting bare metal often shares a provider-managed out-of-band network with other tenants, and the BMCs, provisioning systems, orchestration services, and credential stores that administer those machines may span infrastructure belonging to several customers at once. Lava's own research demonstrated compromising thousands of data centers through a BMC vulnerability roughly two decades old, an illustration of how little of this layer gets patched. The company targets enterprise data center operators, neocloud providers, sovereign AI infrastructure builders, and organizations running colocated or rented hardware, and holds ISO 27001 certification. Its site now operates at lavahq.io.
