Nvidia enlists the help of Antwerp-based Intigriti to identify potential security issues in its AI systems.
Nvidia is now partnering with Antwerp-based Intigriti to detect vulnerabilities in its AI infrastructure more quickly and efficiently. Intigriti has an international community of ethical hackers who look for vulnerabilities in computer systems. Nvidia is not the first American company for which Intigriti is rolling up its sleeves. The company has also worked for Intel, AMD, and Microsoft. The collaboration results in the launch of a bug bounty program and a so-called vulnerability disclosure program (VDP).
Security of AI Infrastructure
The initiative should help to detect potential security problems at an early stage. Intigriti is deploying its international community of ethical hackers for this purpose, which now has more than 125,000 members. Through a special web portal, they can report potential vulnerabilities in Nvidia’s products and systems.
The first phase of the collaboration consists of three parts. First, there will be a private bug bounty program that focuses on a range of Nvidia assets. In addition, the duo is launching a VDP, where vulnerability reports are welcome, but without financial reward. Finally, a second private bug bounty track will follow, focusing on core components of Nvidia’s AI infrastructure.

Both Intigriti and Nvidia emphasize the importance of collaboration to improve security. According to Nvidia, protecting AI systems requires more than just technology; external expertise plays a crucial role. Intigriti founder Stijn Jans sees the collaboration as a way to tackle AI security faster and more scalably via a global community.
Increasing Threats
By using external researchers, Nvidia wants to increase its resilience against cyberattacks. The approach fits into a broader trend in which organizations do not only rely on internal security teams, but are open to outside help. Especially in the AI domain, where risks are evolving rapidly, the need for external review is growing.
The new programs should enable Nvidia to respond to reports more quickly. The partnership with Intigriti marks the next step in proactively securing digital infrastructure that is increasingly AI-based.
