NVIDIA Launches NemoClaw to Add Security and Control to AI Agents

NVIDIA has introduced a new AI stack, NemoClaw, for the OpenClaw agent platform, designed to enhance the security, privacy, and control of autonomous AI agents.

The announcement was made yesterday at the company’s GPU Technology Conference, where NVIDIA said the system is designed to make self-evolving AI agents more deployable and scalable, particularly in enterprise environments.

The pitch centres on making these agents usable beyond experimentation. OpenClaw’s agents, often called “claws,” have gained attention because they can handle a wide range of tasks inside virtual environments, using different tools and models. That flexibility also creates risk. Without clear guardrails, the same agents can access sensitive data or systems in ways that make organisations uneasy.

NemoClaw introduces a layer designed to manage that risk. It installs an environment called OpenShell that runs agents in a sandbox. That setup isolates what the agent can see and do, while allowing developers to define rules around data access, network activity, and behaviour.
