VCI Global Limited (NASDAQ: VCIG) has announced the launch of SecureGPU, a next-generation encrypted AI compute server designed for sovereign, defense, and highly regulated enterprise environments. Developed by its cybersecurity and infrastructure subsidiary, V Gallant Sdn Bhd, SecureGPU integrates real-time PCIe-level encryption with GPU compute to enable confidential AI processing in zero-trust, air-gapped environments.
As global concerns over cross-border data flows and AI model security escalate, SecureGPU offers a timely solution for governments and institutions seeking local control over sensitive data and AI workloads. Unlike traditional cloud-dependent models, this server is purpose-built for on-premises deployment, ensuring AI models can be trained and executed without external network exposure. The product is currently being piloted in Malaysia, Singapore, and select international markets.
“With SecureGPU, we are delivering a breakthrough in sovereign AI infrastructure,” said Dato’ Victor Hoo, Group Executive Chairman and CEO of VCI Global. “In an era of cross-border data threats and AI model leakage, this product gives our partners the ability to deploy AI workloads securely, at scale, and with full hardware-level control.”
The launch coincides with growing global investment in sovereign AI infrastructure. According to Investopedia, the market could reach up to US$1.5 trillion globally, driven by demand in regions like Europe and Asia-Pacific. Supporting this trend, Mordor Intelligence projects that AI infrastructure spending will reach US$197.6 billion by 2030, with secure and on-premise deployment models becoming increasingly dominant.
Built on NVIDIA-class GPU architecture, SecureGPU offers enterprise-grade performance while maintaining data locality, auditability, and compliance. It features real-time PCIe hardware encryption via a proprietary card, a zero-trust compute framework with no cloud dependencies, and full support for large language models (LLMs) working with sensitive or classified datasets.
The server’s modular rack-based design allows for scalability across both pilot initiatives and full-scale data center deployments. It also integrates natively with V Gallant’s Vault orchestration platform and QuantGold encrypted data exchange, enabling a bundled offering that combines secure compute, encrypted storage, and AI lifecycle management. Additional features include hardware root-of-trust components such as secure boot, encrypted firmware, and physical tamper detection.
The launch of SecureGPU marks a strategic step in VCI Global’s ambition to establish itself as a leader in confidential AI infrastructure across Southeast Asia. As part of its long-term growth strategy, the company aims to expand recurring revenue streams by offering a vertically integrated stack of sovereign AI solutions.
V Gallant, the subsidiary behind the technology, is a key player in VCI Global’s portfolio, delivering AI infrastructure and cybersecurity solutions tailored for high-performance computing, large language models, and advanced analytics. With SecureGPU, VCI Global is positioning itself at the intersection of data sovereignty, AI security, and regulatory compliance—an area of increasing geopolitical and commercial importance.
