A Win for Defenders: CrowdStrike and NVIDIA Extend Security Across the AI Stack

What happened

The question is no longer whether enterprises will adopt agents. Today, NVIDIA introduced the NVIDIA Open Agent Safety Platform , an open source platform and reference design that brings multi-layered security controls across the software, runtime, and infrastructure where agents operate. NVIDIA is a semiconductor company based in Santa Clara, and its products and services include software.

September 28, 2026 AI agents (AI that carries out multi-step tasks rather than answering one question) are already operating across the enterprise. As they become more autonomous in accessing data, using credentials, executing code, and acting across critical systems, the security boundary is changing with them.

It's how they give agents greater autonomy without giving up control. Model safeguards are essential, but they aren't the entire security boundary.

When agents operate with identities, credentials, and access to critical systems, enterprises need controls that work where agents run and act. That's the approach CrowdStrike and NVIDIA are advancing together.

An agent shouldn't be responsible for enforcing its own security boundaries. Models and agent harnesses can guide behavior.
