Amidst ongoing reports of AI agents wreaking havoc on online infrastructure, chipmaker Nvidia is rallying tech companies to use its new open-source tool for AI security.

OpenShell, one of the Nvidia’s recently launched security sandboxes for AI agents, is now entering general release for all users. It’s a framework for containing agents as they carry out tasks and isolating their activity.

The launch comes after a series of incidents disclosed by frontier AI labs where AI agents hacked into other companies or, more recently, the Australian government health service system.

The chip giant has also developed a new software platform called Sentry, an isolated security domain for chips that’s supposed to continuously monitor long-running AI agents. Sentry can act in addition to OpenShell to “quarantine agents that attempt to move outside their boundaries.”
