Industries like healthcare, finance, and government are eager to leverage AI but are constrained by the extreme sensitivity of their data. Fortanix Inc., a leader in data security, has announced a joint solution with NVIDIA to deliver a turnkey, on-premises platform for running secure and sovereign agentic AI. This solution enables enterprises to innovate with AI on sensitive data, knowing their models and workflows are protected by a verifiable chain of trust and compliance-by-design.
Fortanix and NVIDIA offer a turnkey platform for secure, on-premises agentic AI.
The solution leverages NVIDIA Confidential Computing on Hopper and Blackwell GPUs.
It provides end-to-end trust via composite attestation across CPUs and GPUs.
Cryptographic keys are only released after workload verification by a FIPS 140-2 Level 3 HSM.
The platform is designed for regulated industries like finance, healthcare, and government.
It aims to accelerate time-to-production for AI pilots without compromising security.
Enterprises with sensitive data often face an impossible choice between leveraging modern AI and maintaining strict compliance and control. This joint solution is designed to eliminate that trade-off. By using NVIDIA Confidential Computing, it allows organizations to deploy AI agents on sensitive data within their own AI factories, ensuring data never has to leave the secure, on-premises environment.
Anuj Jaiswal, chief product officer at Fortanix, highlighted the solution's value, stating, “Enterprises in finance, healthcare and government want to harness the power of AI, but compromising on trust, compliance, or control creates insurmountable risk. We’re giving enterprises a sovereign, on-prem platform for AI agents—one that proves what’s running, protects what matters, and gets them to production faster.”
Justin Boitano, vice president of enterprise AI products at NVIDIA, added, “AI factories are engines of enterprise transformation, and must be built on a foundation of security and trust. Together with Fortanix, we’re bringing NVIDIA Confidential Computing into these next-generation environments, enabling organizations to run powerful AI with verified confidentiality, compliance and control.”
The platform's security is rooted in its "attestation-gated" approach. It uses composite attestation across both CPUs and GPUs to verify the integrity of the entire AI workload. Only after successful verification does the Fortanix Data Security Manager release the cryptographic keys from its FIPS 140-2 Level 3 HSM, ensuring data, models, and secrets remain protected. This creates a provable chain of trust for sensitive AI operations.
This solution represents a critical advancement for regulated industries, providing the technical underpinnings to meet stringent compliance requirements like HIPAA and GDPR. By combining hardware-level confidential computing with robust key management and attestation, Fortanix and NVIDIA are enabling a new class of AI applications that can safely operate on the world's most sensitive data.
Fortanix is the global leader in data-first cybersecurity and a pioneer of Confidential Computing. Its unified platform secures sensitive data across on-premises and multi-cloud environments—at rest, in transit, and in use—through advanced encryption and key management. Fortanix's encryption is resistant to all known cryptanalytic techniques, including the latest quantum computing algorithms, allowing for top-level compliance and operational simplicity while reducing risk and cost.
