Nvidia Unveils AI Agent Safety Platform With Hardware-Based Watchdog

Summary

Nvidia announced the Open Agent Safety Platform, pairing the OpenShell open source runtime, now at version 0.1.0, with Sentry, a watchdog running on Nvidia's BlueField-4 DPUs. OpenShell sandboxes agents and enforces policy on their filesystem, process and network activity, while Sentry quarantines agents that try to move outside their software boundary. Nvidia says more than 100 organizations are working with the platform's technologies, including Anthropic, Salesforce and SAP.

Mitigation

Organizations already running Vera systems with BlueField-4 can turn on the protections with a software update.
