Nvidia-led OSAA hits 120 members, unveils AI security proposals

The Open Secure AI Alliance (OSAA), an industry group spearheaded by Nvidia, is moving at AI speed. Just one week after its formation, the alliance has grown to over 120 companies and introduced the Shared AI Findings Exchange (SAFE), a working group that has already released proposals for open comment. The Linux Foundation is managing these proposals, which were developed while members gathered at the Black Hat conference in Las Vegas. The guidelines focus on confidentially reporting AI cybersecurity incidents, alerting affected parties, and conducting blame-free analysis so the broader ecosystem can learn from each event.

OSAA members are also contributing open source technology to help enterprises secure AI agents and defend against rogue AI attacks. Nvidia offers its Garak LLM vulnerability scanner, Okta is building agent identity tech, Red Hat is working on agent governance, and Amazon contributed Strands Agents and the Cedar authorization language. Major names like Adobe, Microsoft, Intel, and Visa have joined, but notable absences include Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google — despite the latter two signing the original open letter to the White House supporting open source AI. The group's rapid progress suggests a coordinated effort to build a secure, open AI ecosystem.
