Bridging Frameworks to Function in AI Safety and Security - A Practical Guide
Safety and security for generative AI isn’t a one-time fix. It’s an ongoing process that, like a flywheel, gains momentum and stability with every cycle. That’s why we’re introducing an approach using the NVIDIA AI Safety Recipe for end-to-end AI safety across the entire AI lifecycle. Each cycle of testing, evaluation, and refinement makes AI systems more stable, more adaptive, and better prepared for emerging threats.
The NVIDIA Enterprise AI Factory validated design is a groundbreaking solution that reimagines compute, storage, and networking layers. This comprehensive technology stack enables enterprises to seamlessly integrate advanced AI capabilities-Â including agentic AI- into existing IT infrastructure through hardware, software, and a collaborative AIOps ecosystem.
ActiveFence is proud to be a member of NVIDIA’s AIOps layer. Together, we ensure AI agents and models are evaluated, fine-tuned, and secured so that enterprise AI systems can operate safely, reliably, and at scale.
This collaboration represents more than just technology. It is a shared commitment to building safer AI. By combining ActiveFence’s expertise with NVIDIA AI technology, we are helping enterprises deploy agentic AI with confidence, knowing that safety, trust, and brand integrity are embedded at every stage.
Agentic AI applications are built on one or more foundational models. While these models have broad, built-in guardrails, they are not designed to keep agentic applications focused on their intended use or protect the developer’s brand. Through rigorous testing, fine-tuning, and the addition of targeted guardrails, the AI Safety Flywheel transforms an open model into a continuously-improved trusted model.
The process starts in development with automated red teaming and model evaluation for risks like prompt injection, data leakage, and misinformation. Simulated attacks are launched by NVIDIA Garak using NVIDIA-curated datasets and the ActiveFence Safety Knowledge Database, an evolving resource of real-world threat intelligence gathered in over 110 languages. An NVIDIA NIM microservice serves as a judge, assigning safety scores that determine pass or fail for each red teaming exercise.
The model is then fine-tuned, transformed into a trusted model by retraining on each challenge it fails to stop.Â
Once in production, ActiveFence Guardrails block dangerous inputs from reaching the model and prevent harmful outputs from reaching the user or AI agent. Similar to red teaming, each interaction with the model is logged and scored, enabling continuous fine-tuning of the model and real-time insights into guardrail performance for safety teams in the ActiveFence AI Safety Center.Â
ActiveFence and NVIDIA solutions work together to power each stage of the AI Safety Flywheel, enabling the creation, testing, refinement, and deployment of trusted AI models through a combination of red teaming, risk assessments, safety evaluations, filtering, and real-time protections. These solutions include:Â
At the heart of ActiveFence’s AI Safety Flywheel lies ActiveFence advanced GenAI Red Teaming, designed for continuous testing and evaluation of GenAI systems. ActiveFence Red Teaming supports rigorous testing of multimodal models across text, image, audio, and video, targeting high-risk vectors like jailbreaks, prompt injection, and model extraction. ActiveFence red teaming combines the power of NVIDIA Garak with ActiveFence’s Safety Knowledge Database, a living library of global threat intelligence across 110+ languages. With no-code integration, enterprises can evaluate their models across diverse user intents and edge cases. Crucially, performance is benchmarked and tracked over time, supporting a continuous feedback loop of refinement and AI application hardening before and after deployment.
Once in production, real-time protection is enforced by the ActiveFence Guardrails, an enterprise-ready observability suite built for scalable oversight. Here, ActiveFence Guardrails actively monitors inputs, blocks harmful outputs, and enables teams to track safety incidents across every interaction with their models. Safety teams can visualize risks, drill down into full conversations, and take automated or manual action, all while aggregating analytics across sessions, users, and message flows. Enterprises gain more than visibility. They gain actionable insights and coordinated control over safety operations, even across multiple model vendors and guardrail providers. The result is a closed-loop safety architecture that adapts and evolves in real time, reinforcing every layer of the AI Safety Flywheel.
Generative AI moves fast, and the stakes are high. Enterprises need to innovate, but they can’t afford to compromise on safety. The AI Safety Flywheel helps teams stay ahead of evolving threats, empowering them to move quickly while protecting users, brands, and platforms from misuse.
We took the recipe and made it enterprise-ready. ActiveFence’s AI Safety Flywheel isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution- it’s fully customizable to your unique enterprise needs. From evaluation and red teaming to guardrails and ongoing safety monitoring, every layer of the flywheel can be tailored to your policies, use cases, and risk tolerance. This means safer, smarter, and more resilient AI, built for your environment.
With ActiveFence and NVIDIA, safety isn’t static. It’s adaptive. It’s proactive. And it’s designed for the pace of modern AI.
Since the early days of foundation model development, ActiveFence has been at the forefront of AI safety, helping foundation model providers and enterprises identify risks, design responsible behaviors, and ensure GenAI is safe for users and brands.
Our approach goes beyond technology. ActiveFence’s human analysts embed themselves within risk ecosystems to monitor threat actors, uncover emerging risks, and engage directly with adversarial networks. We’ve seen the worst-case scenarios and know how to prevent them.
This real-world intelligence powers every layer of the ActiveFence platform, giving enterprises the confidence they need to deploy AI that is not just powerful, but safe and aligned with their values.
