Open Secure AI Alliance Proposes New Guidelines for Agentic Cybersecurity

Members of the Open Secure AI Alliance have developed new guidelines to strengthen agentic AI cybersecurity. The Linux Foundation has shared a Request for Comments on Shared AI Findings Exchange (SAFE), a proposed set of guidelines designed to turn agentic cybersecurity incidents into shared protection for the entire ecosystem.

The SAFE guidelines include proposals to confidentially collect and analyze AI incidents and near misses, inform those impacted, identify recurring control failures, and publish evidence-based operating recommendations that reduce systemic risk. NVIDIA, Cisco, CrowdStrike, Hugging Face, and Red Hat are among Open Secure AI Alliance members working with the Linux Foundation to contribute to the initial proposal.

The development of SAFE guidelines comes as the annual Black Hat conference begins in Las Vegas today. The alliance has more than 120 organizations strong, and its members have been contributing tools for open ecosystem development across different layers of the stack. NVIDIA's contributions run the length of the stack, including its open model families, such as NVIDIA Nemotron for agentic AI.

The SAFE framework adds to technology contributions Open Secure AI Alliance members are making as part of a shared commitment to building and sharing open, inspectable tools across the full AI security stack. Defenders must move now at agent speed to respond rapidly to protect infrastructure and intellectual property, and the best way to do that is together.
