Safeguarding AI at Scale: How Armis Protects Critical NVIDIA AI Factories

The software development landscape has shifted into overdrive. Thanks to agentic AI, engineers are writing and deploying code at breakneck speeds, propelled by the raw power of the NVIDIA AI Factory, the high-performance infrastructure where next-gen models are built, trained, and scaled.

But this blistering velocity comes with a serious catch: a rapidly growing mountain of AI-generated technical debt and a brand-new class of security risks that development teams are only just beginning to reckon with, especially as it comes to protecting their AI products ability to access resources on runtime.

To meet this critical challenge, Armis has expanded its solutions to safeguard AI Workloads, Agents and other modules running on NVIDIA AI Factories. Now operating as a ServiceNow company, Armis is uniquely positioned to deliver a unified layer of security and governance that spans from any cyber asset type, all the way to backend data centers.

A Proven Foundation: The Armis and NVIDIA Synergy

This latest expansion is a natural progression of a deeply rooted collaborative history. In late 2025, Armis and NVIDIA laid the groundwork for advanced AI infrastructure protection by integrating the Armis Centrix™ platform with NVIDIA BlueField. Now, Armis is taking that same philosophy of zero-compromise, hardware-accelerated security and applying it directly to the heart of agentic AI development, by extending support for NVIDIA Vera BlueField-4 STX.

Armis Centrix™ for Application Security Meets NVIDIA DOCA Vault

At the center of innovation is a new integration between Armis Centrix™ for Application Security and NVIDIA DOCA Vault.

NVIDIA DOCA Vault provides a hardware-isolated, highly secure execution environment on BlueField DPUs. It also acts as the security shield between the AI workloads running on the GPU and the network, file system and critical modules it accesses.

By anchoring Armis Centrix™ for Application Security outputs within NVIDIA DOCA, we are creating policies for AI governance that Vault enforces, including what data the model can touch and the resources it can access. This integration delivers:

• Hardware-Enforced Isolation: By leveraging DOCA Vault, Armis ensures that whatever the AI does, it is limited by trailer policies created in the development stage.
• Real-Time Exposure Mitigation: Immediate detection and protection from AI agent drift or compromised models.

As few example use cases:

• A drifted agent trying to access additional network resources is immediately blocked from accessing the server.
• A compromised workload that tries to inadvertently delete a database, is blocked to prevent exposure exploitation.

Driving Tangible Business Value for the Enterprise

Armis’ capabilities protect from build to run-time, including code scanning, comprehensive Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) generation, knowledge driven remediation, and embedded agent controls. Armis automatically creates intent-based access control policies for network and data streams used by NVIDIA DOCA Flow and DOCA Vault, respectively. For organizations, this means moving away from manual, error-prone configurations and adopting automated, intelligent governance that neutralizes exposures long before they can be exploited.

For forward-thinking enterprises investing heavily in AI infrastructure, adopting these new integrations yields profound business and operational advantages. Bridging the gap between development and production, allows teams to enforce strict, context-aware storage protections from the very first line of code. By effortlessly shifting security left, organizations can safeguard their most critical assets and AI capabilities without putting the brakes on their deployment pipeline or impacting AI factory resources. It’s enterprise protection built for business running at machine speed.

The Blueprint for Trusted Agentic AI

The future of business belongs to organizations that can successfully and safely operationalize autonomous AI. But true autonomy requires absolute trust. With Armis expanding its portfolio to safeguard NVIDIA AI Factories, backed by the comprehensive enterprise governance of ServiceNow AI Control Tower, organizations no longer must choose between the velocity of AI innovation and the security of their data infrastructure. This integration sets a new benchmark for cyber exposure management, providing the ultimate blueprint for building a secure, resilient, and trusted enterprise AI future.
