Three products at the control point for enterprise AI — one that sees every agent, one that governs every prompt, one that contains every agent at runtime.
An AI Agent Security Posture Management (AI‑SPM) platform. Gives enterprises continuous visibility into every agent running across their environment — what exists, what it can access, and where it deviates from policy. Continuously surfaces misconfigurations, excess privileges, and behavioral drift.
An AI agent gateway that governs content and sensitivity. Classifies every prompt, de‑identifies PII, hard‑blocks regulated data fail‑closed before anything reaches a model, routes each request to the cheapest capable model, and writes a tamper‑evident hash‑chained audit record.
Runtime security for AI agents. Governs agents from application intent down to kernel enforcement — eBPF Sentinel and Landlock/Seatbelt sandboxing — with self‑learning loops that adapt to agent behavior faster than the threat. Contains what an agent can actually do on the host.
Four decades building and running technology at the scale of the world's largest institutions.
