Fortanix Armet AI Powers Sovereign Agentic AI with NVIDIA Nemotron

Enterprises today want more than AI that merely assists or chatbots that answer questions—they want an Agentic AI that can reason, plan, and act autonomously. But in regulated sectors like government, finance, and healthcare, one critical question remains:

“How do we embrace Agentic AI to drive innovation & productivity, while keeping our data, models, and operations secure and compliant?”

With open NVIDIA Nemotron models running inside Fortanix Armet AI’s platform, powered by NVIDIA Confidential Computing, the answer is organizations can harness agentic AI confidently—securely, compliantly, and at scale. This joint solution enables organizations to deploy agentic AI capable of high-level reasoning and decision-making while ensuring that sensitive data, models, keys, and actions remain fully protected, auditable, and compliant.

What is NVIDIA Nemotron

NVIDIA Nemotron is a family of open models, datasets, and technologies that empower enterprises to build highly efficient, accurate, and specialized agentic AI. The models excel in graduate-level scientific reasoning, advanced math, coding, instruction following, tool calling, visual reasoning, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).

What is Fortanix Armet AI

Fortanix Armet AI is a turnkey, secure agentic AI platform built on NVIDIA Confidential Computing. It executes AI pipeline stages (data ingestion, vectorization, inference, response handling) inside hardware-backed trusted execution environments. Armet AI also provides AI RBAC, AI guardrails, data connectors, and produces immutable logs, composite attestation evidence, and secure key release so enterprises can meet compliance and governance requirements.

Armet AI is deployable both on public clouds and in sovereign on-premises environments. It enables AI factory workloads to run securely across on-premises and hybrid infrastructures, with every inference, model invocation, and decision executed inside a cryptographically attested and auditable enclave. Fortanix is also a member of NVIDIA Inception.

Why Integrate Fortanix Armet AI With NVIDIA Nemotron for Agentic AI

Agentic AI systems are designed to access internal data, call external tools, and take autonomous actions. This requires two critical foundations working together:

Sophisticated Model Capabilities — Nemotron models are trained with open datasets and techniques and deliver leading accuracy for reasoning tasks with exceptional efficiency.
Enterprise-Grade hyper secure Agentic AI: Fortanix Armet AI ensures data-in-use protection, attestation-based Trust, and policy enforcement.

Together, this integration enables organizations to deploy powerful yet provably trustworthy agents — models that run inside verified enclaves, interact with sensitive data securely, and act only within sovereign, policy-defined Trusted boundaries.

Key Benefits: Fortanix Armet AI with NVIDIA Nemotron

Open Models: NVIDIA’s open models, data and optimization techniques ensure powerful, transparent, and adaptable models for developers and enterprises.
High Compute Efficiency: With techniques such as pruning and distillation and architectures such as hybrid Mamba-Transformer, Nemotron models are optimized for high throughput and offer high compute efficiency for reasoning tasks.
High Accuracy: Built on popular open reasoning models for their exceptional knowledge, post-trained with high-quality training data, and aligned to reason like humans, Nemotron models achieve the highest accuracy on leading benchmarks.
Confidential Computing + Composite Attestation: End-to-end confidential AI pipeline protection with verifiable hardware trust across CPUs and NVIDIA AI infrastructure ensures cryptographic integrity and sovereignty.
Attested Gated Secure Key Release: Keys are only released when both CPU and GPU environments are verified, ensuring that sensitive workloads always execute in trusted hardware.
AI Role-Based Access: Control drives data and AI governance and regulatory compliance by maintaining complete control with fine-grained access policies that define who can train, use, and see what data
AI Guardrails: Ensure data and model security. It shields sensitive data by anonymizing it and filters harmful inputs and outputs for secure GenAI operations.
Compliance-Ready Audit Trail: Immutable logs with cryptographic evidence for auditors and regulators.

Conclusion

Enterprises and government agencies no longer need to choose between AI capability, compliance, or sovereignty. By integrating Fortanix Armet AI’s hyper secure Agentic AI platform with NVIDIA Nemotron models and NVIDIA confidential computing, organizations can operate AI Factories that are fast, compliant, and sovereign — with trust anchored in hardware.
