Xage Security, a worldwide leader in Zero Trust access and protection, has rolled out expanded support for newly enhanced NVIDIA DOCA security features alongside the newly unveiled NVIDIA Vera BlueField-4 STX platform. NVIDIA Vera BlueField-4 STX, which runs on NVIDIA DOCA security technology, establishes an entirely new category of AI storage built on security-first principles—embedding real-time safeguards for data, AI agents, and context memory directly into the silicon. This enables more trustworthy agentic AI deployments. Xage’s alignment with NVIDIA DOCA security aims to deliver real-time visibility, policy enforcement, and centralized management across AI factory environments at full network speed. This integration amplifies Xage’s Zero Trust for Agentic AI framework, empowering organizations to monitor, govern, and regulate AI interactions on an enormous scale. The joint solution achieves these objectives while maintaining AI performance and operational efficiency—all without needing to alter any host software or the workloads under protection.
“AI factories are fast becoming the essential backbone of tomorrow’s digital infrastructure, and they demand security standards on par with traditional critical infrastructure,” said Duncan Greatwood, CEO of Xage Security. “As autonomous AI agents are granted access to sensitive data sets, APIs, applications, and core business systems, organizations must have tamper-proof visibility and authority over every action those agents can perform—what they can view, what tasks they can carry out, and what changes they can make. Through our support for NVIDIA Vera BlueField-4 STX and the Enhanced DOCA security framework, Xage brings identity-driven Zero Trust directly into the core of the AI Factory, establishing the foundational layer of security that businesses need to confidently use AI with their mission-critical data, workflows, and day-to-day operations.”
Xage Zero Trust for Agentic AI solution
Xage Zero Trust for Agentic AI enables enterprises to transition their AI agents from experimental pilot phases into full-scale production with confidence. Agentic AI systems are increasingly tasked with operating across a vast ecosystem—APIs, SaaS platforms, databases, cloud services, file storage systems, internal business applications, and operational technology environments. Xage’s capabilities deliver end-to-end oversight and granular control throughout the entire AI interaction chain: from human users and AI agents to models, tools, APIs, applications, underlying infrastructure, and cloud resources. Unlike narrower security strategies that focus solely on input prompts or generated outputs, Xage dictates precisely what each agent is permitted to access and exactly which actions it is authorized to execute.
How Xage integrates with NVIDIA BlueField and DOCA
NVIDIA Vera BlueField-4 STX, powered by NVIDIA DOCA security, provides the underlying infrastructure needed to enforce granular security policies at full line speed, detect and neutralize threats targeting AI workloads in real time, and implement the visibility and governance controls required to secure agentic workflows as they scale. Xage’s Zero Trust for Agentic AI will offer several key integration points with NVIDIA’s BlueField-4 STX to enable smooth, end-to-end security coverage for AI factories.
- Xage will deploy AI Security Gateways that operate natively within the NVIDIA DOCA architecture, leveraging the Xage Resource Gateway, Xage Agent Sentry, and Xage Extended Protection (XEP) component suite to secure both enterprise resources and AI agents.
- The Xage Resource Gateway can also connect with NVIDIA DOCA Vault to extend file-level access visibility and control capabilities.
- The Xage Fabric’s policy engine will draw on contextual data from DOCA sources to make smarter real-time authorization decisions.
- Xage is designed to feed identity-based intelligence into DOCA Argus and DOCA Flow, sharing critical events—such as login attempts, entitlement handoffs, and credential modifications—that enhance the threat detection capabilities of NVIDIA Vera BlueField-4 STX.
- For hardware-level acceleration of enforcement mechanisms, Xage integrates with DOCA OvS. Xage dynamically reconfigures the DOCA BlueField OvS stack to permit only authorized interactions while automatically blocking any unauthorized activity.
- Additionally, Xage can serve as the automated response engine for real-time detection-and-response scenarios—such as isolating a suspicious agent, revoking access for a flagged user, or layering additional protections around a resource that shows unusual access patterns.
Taken together, the Xage and NVIDIA DOCA partnership creates a closed-loop security ecosystem: DOCA infrastructure continuously observes runtime behavior to provide visibility, Xage evaluates identity attributes, policy rules, resource context, and requested actions, and Xage’s enforcement controls—working through DOCA-OvS—help permit, deny, contain, or escalate agent activities before any real business harm can occur.
Xage enables organizations leveraging NVIDIA Vera BlueField-4 STX and NVIDIA DOCA to achieve the following:
- Continuously monitor, govern, and protect AI agents at both the infrastructure layer and the workload layer
- Enforce least-privilege access principles for AI agents interacting with resources, data, tools, APIs, and applications
- Apply granular Zero Trust policies—providing access only when it’s needed and only to the extent necessary—at full line speed while blocking active threats
- Govern and regulate interactions among agents, models, APIs, storage systems, datasets, and other enterprise resources
- Prevent lateral movement across systems and swiftly contain any agent that exhibits suspicious behavior
- Collect comprehensive telemetry for advanced anomaly detection
- Deploy and enforce automated threat response mechanisms
- Maximize the operational efficiency and long-term resilience of AI Factories
Xage Zero Trust for Agentic AI gives enterprises a comprehensive approach to securing governing AI agents, regulating access to critical assets, blocking unauthorized actions, and maintaining full audit-ready visibility throughout the AI lifecycle. With expanded support for NVIDIA DOCA and NVIDIA Vera BlueField-4 STX, Xage extends its distributed Zero Trust architecture into the next generation of AI Factories—enabling enterprises, government agencies, and critical infrastructure operators to adopt agentic AI with greater confidence, operational resilience, deep visibility, and a reinforced sense of control.
