NVIDIA Launches Open Agent Safety Platform to Secure AI Agents
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — September 30, 2026 — NVIDIA today announced its Open Agent Safety Platform, a new approach designed to help organizations secure and govern AI agents from testing through deployment.
The platform combines NVIDIA OpenShell, an open-source software framework, with NVIDIA Sentry, a reference system design intended to provide governance and control across the software, hardware, computing infrastructure, and robotics systems used by AI agents.
As organizations increasingly deploy AI agents capable of taking actions and interacting with software, data, and physical systems, security and governance have become important considerations. NVIDIA’s new platform is designed to provide infrastructure for managing these risks throughout the agent lifecycle.
NVIDIA OpenShell provides an environment for developing and running AI agents with security controls. The platform is designed to help organizations establish boundaries around agent activity while allowing developers to test and deploy agentic applications.
NVIDIA Sentry complements the software layer by providing a reference architecture for controlling the systems on which AI agents operate. This approach extends security considerations beyond the AI model itself to the infrastructure and environments that support agent-based applications.
The company says the Open Agent Safety Platform is designed for a range of AI-agent applications, including software development, enterprise workflows, autonomous systems, and robotics.
The announcement reflects the growing development of agentic AI systems that can perform multi-step tasks and interact with external tools. NVIDIA’s platform aims to provide organizations with additional infrastructure for managing these systems as they move from experimentation into production environments.
NVIDIA continues to develop technologies spanning accelerated computing, AI infrastructure, software, and robotics. The Open Agent Safety Platform adds a security and governance layer to the company’s broader AI ecosystem.
