IBM and Nvidia link AI agent identity to runtime access controls
IBM and Nvidia announced that IBM’s Agent Identity solution, which entered public preview on September 1, 2026, will integrate with Nvidia’s Open Agent Safety Platform (OASP) as highlighted on September 28, 2026. The combined system treats each autonomous AI agent like an employee: it registers the agent, assigns a unique, temporary identity and grants only the permissions needed for a specific…
Key points
- IBM’s Agent Identity entered public preview on September 1, 2026 and integrated with Nvidia’s Open Agent Safety Platform on September 28, 2026.
- The solution assigns each AI agent a unique, temporary identity and uses HashiCorp Vault and Nvidia’s Sentry to enforce short‑lived, hardware‑level access controls.
- Nvidia says more than 100 organizations are reportedly using its OASP technologies to monitor and control AI agents.
Credentials are generated by HashiCorp Vault as short‑lived tokens, and Red Hat OpenShift manages the heterogeneous cloud infrastructure. Nvidia contributes isolated runtime environments and its Sentry component, which can verify an agent’s identity and enforce policies within milliseconds, even if a host is compromised. The companies say the approach also discovers “shadow agents” – undocumented AI entities – and ties every action back to an identity and policy.
Nvidia reports that more than 100 organizations are reportedly working with its OASP technologies, indicating early industry interest in tighter governance of AI agents as they become more autonomous and pervasive.
