Beyond the Model: Securing the Path from Intelligence to Action in the Agentic AI Era
Arm, Tuesday, October 6th, 2026
Arm argues agentic AI security must span the path from model reasoning to action, enforced by hardware and system controls.
Arm argues that securing agentic AI means protecting the full path from reasoning to action, summed up as 'the model proposes, but the system authorizes and enforces.'
The company maps technologies such as Root of Trust, secure and measured boot, attestation, isolation and Memory Tagging Extension onto that path, with Arm CPUs running agents while Arm-based DPUs observe and contain them, citing NVIDIA's Open Agent Safety Platform.
For edge and physical AI, Arm points to Arm Device Connect and stresses aligning agent security with functional safety.
