NVIDIA adds DOCA security to Vera BlueField-4 STX agentic AI storage platform

NVIDIA added DOCA Vault, DOCA Argus and DOCA Flow security services to the Vera BlueField-4 STX storage platform, enforced in silicon. The software controls which AI workloads can reach specific files and monitors agent behavior. STX-based platforms are expected from storage partners in the second half of 2026, and NVIDIA's threat-detection speed claim is its own.

• DOCA Vault, DOCA Argus and DOCA Flow added to BlueField-4 STX
• Enforcement in BlueField-4 silicon; network and file access up to 800 Gb/s (NVIDIA claim)
• Up to 1,000x faster runtime threat detection than agentless solutions (NVIDIA claim)
• Storage partners include Dell, HPE, IBM, NetApp, VAST Data and WEKA; availability 2H 2026
