Recent frontier‑AI incidents show agents can bypass intended restrictions, underscoring the need to embed security controls at the runtime and infrastructure layers of an AI agent stack rather than within modifiable harness logic. NVIDIA’s safety teams advocate applying principles such as least privilege, isolation, just‑in‑time access, and authoritative policy enforcement below the agent boundary so that agents cannot self‑grant authority and all impactful actions remain auditable. These practices are illustrated through NVIDIA OpenShell and collaborations with open‑source projects and industry partners to build secure, trustworthy AI applications as agents gain greater capability and longer operation horizons.
