Cisco and Nvidia expanded their Secure AI Factory collaboration to support AI deployments across both central data centers and edge locations such as hospitals, warehouses, and vehicles. Cisco said it will deliver partner-developed systems using Nvidia Spectrum-X switch silicon paired with a Cisco operating system, alongside an option based on Cisco Silicon One architectures. The companies are extending security policy enforcement by integrating Cisco Hybrid Mesh Firewall with Nvidia BlueField DPUs in GPU servers connected to Cisco Nexus One fabrics. Cisco AI Defense will integrate with Nvidia NeMo Guardrails to add guardrails for AI agents, including agent-to-agent interactions in distributed deployments. Cisco AI Defense will also support and secure Nvidia’s OpenShell runtimes by monitoring and validating agent tool use and actions.
