This article details a collaboration between Cisco and NVIDIA to secure enterprise AI coding agents using NVIDIA's OpenShell sandboxing architecture and Cisco DefenseClaw identity policies. By enforcing zero-trust runtime boundaries and micro-segmentation, the solution mitigates risks where autonomous agents could overreach their intended permissions or expose sensitive credentials.
Protect enterprise coding agents with Cisco DefenseClaw and NVIDIA OpenShell

AI coding agents act with your rights. Cisco DefenseClaw runs them in NVIDIA OpenShell sandboxes, with one policy that follows the person who signed in.
AI coding agents have become everyday teammates. On a developer’s machine, an interactive coding agent can read a repository, write code, run the build and the tests, and push the change, often without stopping to ask. That capability and speed is the point. It is also the risk: an agent acts with the full access rights of the developer who started it. Those access rights can expose credentials as well as unrelated files, projects, and internal services if the agent makes…
