AI Security Is an Engineering Problem — How to Solve It at Every Layer of the Agent Stack

Securing autonomous AI agents requires isolated runtime environments, least-privilege access, and independent policy enforcement across system layers. NVIDIA OpenShell provides an open-source execution sandbox designed to limit agent access to network, data, and system resources. The runtime works alongside external governance and scanning tools to monitor and restrict agent capabilities.

“NVIDIA OpenShell is an open source, secure runtime that enforces policies outside of the agent’s reach and provides sandboxed execution” — NVIDIA
