Lenovo announced a collaboration with NVIDIA to support the NVIDIA Open Agent Safety Platform, a reference design for full-stack security and governance of AI agents across software and infrastructure layers. This effort targets enterprise deployments of agentic AI, providing zero-trust access control, silicon-enforced policies via NVIDIA BlueField-4 DPUs, and secure runtimes through NVIDIA OpenShell. The partnership will enable Lenovo Hybrid AI Advantage solutions to run the platform on NVIDIA Vera CPUs and other processors, offering governance from the model down to the infrastructure level. The goal is to allow organizations to deploy AI agents at scale with strong safeguards while preserving flexibility across deployment environments. The announcement signals a broader industry push toward secure, open, and interoperable AI architectures and emphasizes collaboration across the technology ecosystem to advance secure agentic AI adoption.
