Nvidia's AI safety platform will not take away agents' autonomy: Palo Alto

Nvidia's Open Agent Safety Platform uses software and hardware controls to secure autonomous AI agents while allowing them to perform tasks with defined access and permissions

Palo Alto Networks is among the companies working with Nvidia on the platform. Huzefa Motiwala, senior director, technical solutions, India and SAARC, at Palo Alto Networks, said the aim of securing autonomous AI agents is not to limit what they can do, but to ensure that their actions remain within defined boundaries.

 

“The goal isn’t to take autonomy away from AI agents. It is to put clear boundaries around that autonomy. The more independently agents can act, the more important it becomes to continuously verify their identity, access and behaviour — and to enforce those controls independently of the agent itself,” Motiwala said.

 

The platform brings together more than 100 organisations working with Nvidia on agent security, including Anthropic, Cisco, CrowdStrike, Dell Technologies, HPE, Hugging Face, JPMorganChase, Microsoft, Palantir, Palo Alto Networks, Salesforce, SAP, Scale AI, ServiceNow and SpaceXAI. Nvidia says the wider effort covers infrastructure, software, models and robotics.
