## Summary

Eclypsium and Nvidia announced a partnership on October 29, 2026, to address a critical but often overlooked layer of AI security: the firmware and hardware beneath AI agents. The collaboration combines Eclypsium’s AI Infrastructure Assurance platform with Nvidia’s BlueField DPUs and Open Agent Safety Platform to create an end-to-end chain of trust for AI infrastructure, particularly in cloud environments and autonomous AI agents.

The partnership builds on years of collaboration, including Eclypsium’s inclusion in Nvidia’s Inception program in December 2025. Eclypsium’s platform scans hardware and firmware against known-good baselines, flagging unauthorized changes or vulnerabilities. Nvidia’s BlueField DPUs isolate trust domains for AI agents, ensuring secure execution. Joint research revealed that compromised infrastructure can alter model reasoning even if model hashes remain intact, highlighting a blind spot in current security measures. The partnership aims to address supply chain attacks and reinforce trust in AI outputs by validating every layer from firmware to agent policy.

## Key points

- Eclypsium’s platform checks over 30 million known-good firmware binaries for unauthorized changes or vulnerabilities
- Nvidia’s BlueField DPUs create isolated trust domains for AI agents, ensuring secure execution
- Joint research shows compromised hardware can alter model reasoning even if model hashes remain valid

## Why it matters

This partnership shifts AI security focus from model-level safeguards to underlying hardware and firmware, addressing supply chain risks and ensuring trustworthy AI outputs in cloud environments.
