NVIDIA Launches Open Secure AI Alliance With 37 Enterprise Partners

NVIDIA announced on July 27 the formation of the Open Secure AI Alliance, a coalition of enterprise technology companies working to develop and share open tools for artificial intelligence (AI) safety and security. The alliance builds on the Linux Foundation's Akrites initiative and the Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF) community.

Founding members include Adobe, Cisco, IBM, Microsoft, Palo Alto Networks, Red Hat, Salesforce, SAP and ServiceNow, alongside cloud providers, cybersecurity vendors and AI research organizations. NVIDIA did not list OpenAI, Anthropic, Google or Meta among the inaugural members.

NVIDIA said the alliance will focus on developing open AI models, evaluation tools and security frameworks that organizations can inspect, modify and deploy within their own environments. The company said open models and harnesses allow security teams to test and verify defensive systems rather than relying solely on closed platforms.

Contributions From Founding Members

NVIDIA said it is contributing open models, model weights, data and agent harness research to the alliance. The company also released the NVIDIA Labs Object-Oriented Agent (NOOA) project on GitHub, a research framework intended to make agent behavior easier to test, trace, audit and govern.
