NVIDIA and inaugural partners have formed the Open Secure AI Alliance to develop and share open technologies, techniques and tools intended to help safeguard AI systems, software and AI agents.
NVIDIA has announced the Open Secure AI Alliance, a coalition created with inaugural partners to develop and share open technologies, techniques and tools for safeguarding software and AI agents.
In its announcement, NVIDIA described the alliance as an industry collaboration focused on making AI security capabilities more accessible through open development. Rather than introducing a single security product, the initiative is intended to support the creation and sharing of practical resources that organizations can use when building, deploying and operating AI-enabled software.
The effort addresses a growing concern for companies adopting AI systems in operational settings. Models and AI agents can be connected to enterprise data, external tools, software services and user workflows. Those connections can broaden the scope of security work, making it important to protect not only models themselves but also the applications, permissions and interactions around them.
NVIDIA said the alliance will work on technologies and techniques designed to secure software and AI agents. Its emphasis on open resources suggests that participating organizations will be able to contribute to and build upon shared security work rather than relying solely on proprietary approaches.
HPE, which said it has joined the alliance, characterized the effort as one that promotes open models, tooling and shared innovation for securing AI systems. In its own announcement, HPE positioned its participation within a broader push for open cybersecurity innovation alongside NVIDIA and other industry participants.
For organizations assembling AI applications from multiple components—such as models, infrastructure, data sources and business software—shared security tooling could help reduce duplicated engineering work. Open technologies may also give developers and security teams opportunities to inspect, adapt and apply tools to their own environments.
The alliance enters a period in which AI security is receiving greater attention across the technology industry. AI agents, in particular, may be designed to retrieve information, call software tools or take actions in connected enterprise systems. Those capabilities create security considerations around access controls, data exposure, monitoring and the reliability of actions taken by AI-enabled applications.
TechRadar reported that the Open Secure AI Alliance includes organizations spanning technology, finance and AI. The publication also noted that OpenAI, Anthropic and Google were not listed among the participants it reviewed, underscoring that the coalition's initial membership does not encompass every major developer of closed AI models.
The alliance's longer-term impact will depend on the security technologies it releases, the contributors it attracts and whether its work proves useful across different AI platforms and deployment environments. For now, NVIDIA and its partners are advancing the argument that securing AI systems should be treated as a shared engineering challenge supported by open tools and industry collaboration.
