# NVIDIA Launches Open Agent Safety Platform

NVIDIA announced the Open Agent Safety Platform, pairing OpenShell runtime software with the Sentry reference design to monitor, constrain, and quarantine autonomous AI agents. The open-source tools are available through NVIDIA developer resources and GitHub, and more than 100 organizations are working with the technologies for potential enterprise, government, and robotics use. This is a technology-adoption development, not a solicitation or contract award; government buyers and contractors can evaluate the tools as possible components of AI-agent security and governance approaches.

- Contractors specializing in AI security can assess how the platform’s sandboxing, monitoring, and containment capabilities align with government customers’ agent-security needs.
- Government technology teams can review the available software and reference design when evaluating safeguards for autonomous agents; the signals do not identify a procurement requirement or compliance mandate.
- The broad organizational interest points to a potential market for implementation and integration services, but the signals do not specify funded opportunities or a procurement timeline.

### Key Quotes
> Trust and innovation are not in conflict. Safety is how trust is earned. We must build not only the most capable AI, but the most trusted AI, so that this extraordinary technology can realize its enormous promise for the world.
> — Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA

> Model alignment is not a substitute for security engineering. Sandboxes, identity, least privilege, independent monitoring and containment are not new ideas. What is new is that we now have autonomous software capable enough that failing to apply those principles becomes much more consequential.
> — Aviv Nahum, CEO of Above Security
