The Open Agent Safety Platform reference system design features NVIDIA Sentry, an out-of-band watchdog that runs on NVIDIA BlueField-4 DPUs to continuously monitor agent behavior. “Sentry provides in-silicon security enforcement, meaning that if an AI agent attempts to move outside its software boundary, Sentry quarantines and stops it in milliseconds,” the release stated.
In a developer blog post focusing on the details of its “safety platform,” Nvidia described its approach as a “secure runtime that executes autonomous AI agents in sandboxed environments with kernel-level isolation” and argued that “an advantage of open models is that the entire reasoning space and activations are all visible.”
Components of the platform are being rolled out by an extensive list of partners, including Citi Group, JPMorganChase, Citi, Anthropic, Cisco, CrowdStrike, Dell Technologies, Figure, HPE, Hugging Face, Microsoft, Palantir, Palo Alto Networks, Perplexity, Red Hat, Salesforce, SAP, Scale AI, ServiceNow, and SpaceXAI.
