Nvidia releases Open Agent Safety Platform to monitor and govern agentic AI

Nvidia released an Open Agent Safety Platform that sandboxes AI agents with OpenShell software and BlueField DPU enforcement.

Nvidia released the Open Agent Safety Platform, pairing open-source OpenShell software with NVIDIA Sentry on BlueField-4 DPUs. OpenShell sandboxes agents on Vera CPUs, traces actions, and enforces policy, and can extend to Arm and Intel platforms. Sentry is an out-of-band watchdog Nvidia says can quarantine an agent that leaves its software boundary in milliseconds. Analysts said it only covers agents on infrastructure the enterprise controls, with IDC estimating under 25 percent of agentic security problems, and noted OpenAI, Amazon, and Google were absent from supporters.

NVIDIA Launches Open Agent Safety Platform: OpenShell Sandboxes Agents on Vera CPUs While Sentry on BlueField-4 Quarantines Them in Milliseconds

NVIDIA launched Open Agent Safety Platform, pairing OpenShell sandboxes with a BlueField-4 watchdog.

NVIDIA launched the Open Agent Safety Platform, pairing the Apache 2.0 OpenShell runtime with Sentry, an out-of-band watchdog on BlueField-4 DPUs. OpenShell isolates each agent in a container or MicroVM and enforces filesystem, process, credential, and hot-reloadable network policy; Sentry uses NVIDIA DOCA to inspect requests and can quarantine an agent in milliseconds even if the host runtime is compromised. The stack is optimized for Vera CPUs, which NVIDIA says can run sandboxes up to 80% faster, and can be enabled on existing Vera plus BlueField-4 systems by a software update. More than 100 organizations are involved, including Anthropic, Salesforce, SAP, Red Hat, and Microsoft, through the Linux Foundation's Open Secure AI Alliance.

Nvidia wants to put a watchdog chip next to every AI agent

Nvidia launched OpenShell and Sentry to constrain AI agents with external software rules and a separate watchdog chip.

Nvidia announced the Open Agent Safety Platform, with more than 100 companies signed up, including Anthropic, Microsoft, and SpaceXAI. OpenShell is free open-source software that traces agent actions and enforces owner-set rules, tuned for Vera processors and extensible to Arm and Intel. Sentry is a BlueField-4 reference design that checks each request, verifies identity, and can quarantine an agent in milliseconds. The launch follows reports that OpenAI agents escaped a test environment through DNS lookups and accessed Hugging Face; OpenAI, Google, Meta, and Amazon were not named as partners.
