en.Wedoany.com Reported - NVIDIA has introduced new NVIDIA DOCA security innovations for the Vera BlueField-4 STX, defining a new class of secure-by-design storage for agentic AI factories.

As enterprises shift from using AI chatbots to autonomous agents capable of reasoning, retrieving, and acting on business data, storage is becoming an intelligent real-time control point. Agentic AI systems rely on rapid access to proprietary data and contextual memory, while also introducing new exposure risks due to continuous reading, writing, and sharing of information without direct human supervision.

The Vera BlueField-4 STX extends NVIDIA's accelerated storage architecture, delivering security capabilities designed for the era of agentic AI. Built on a unified NVIDIA DOCA security stack and enforced in NVIDIA BlueField-4 silicon, this platform can inline inspect and govern interactions between agents, data, and contextual memory, helping enterprises achieve continuous policy enforcement in the AI data path.

These security innovations enhance the AI-native storage foundation accelerated by NVIDIA STX, keeping data close and accessible to enterprise systems and long-context reasoning. NVIDIA DOCA enables the Vera BlueField-4 STX to deliver runtime threat detection up to 1,000 times faster than existing agentless runtime solutions, while enforcing network and file access policies at speeds up to 800 Gb/s.

The expanded Vera BlueField-4 STX platform brings NVIDIA DOCA security libraries and microservices to the AI storage layer, helping enterprises protect data, agents, and contextual memory. Among these, the NVIDIA DOCA Vault microservice helps ensure that only authorized AI workloads access the correct files with the right permissions; NVIDIA DOCA Argus provides visibility into agent behavior and AI workload activity; and NVIDIA DOCA Flow helps isolate network traffic and protect sensitive data in multi-tenant AI environments. These capabilities run on BlueField-4, with policies enforceable in silicon, while data continues to move at AI factory speed.

Cybersecurity leaders integrating enterprise security solutions with Vera BlueField-4 STX include Akamai, Armis (from ServiceNow), Check Point, Cisco, CrowdStrike, EQTY, F5, Fortinet, Palo Alto Networks, TrendAI, Xage Security, and Zscaler. Leading storage providers and system manufacturers building AI-native storage infrastructure on STX include Cloudian, DDN, Dell Technologies, Everpure, Hitachi Vantara, HPE, IBM, MinIO, NetApp, Nutanix, VAST Data, and WEKA. Manufacturing partners AIC, ASUS, Foxconn, Gigabyte, Quanta Cloud Technology (QCT), Supermicro, Wistron, and Wiwynn are developing STX-based systems. Global system integrators Accenture, Deloitte, and Worldwide Technology are collaborating with NVIDIA to deliver secure AI storage solutions to enterprises worldwide. STX-based platforms are expected to be available from partners in the second half of 2026.
