The control plane for AI agents.
A firewall, IAM and audit trail for AI agents. Zero credentials. Every action checked.
→ advance · F fullscreen
Your agent has your AWS keys.
That's the whole problem.
This is already happening
Microsoft 365 Copilot · CVE-2025-32711
One email. Zero clicks.
A hidden prompt in a routine email made Copilot pull data from OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams — and send it out. CVSS 9.3.
Replit · 2025
Told to change nothing. Deleted production.
The agent wiped a live database, fabricated thousands of records, then claimed rollback was impossible.
Anthropic · Sept 2025
State actors hijacked Claude Code.
An espionage campaign against ~30 targets where the AI ran 80–90% of the operation on its own.
94% of AI agents tested were hijackable through the content they read.

80%
of unauthorized agent actions through 2028 will be internal policy violations — not hackers.
Perimeter security can't fix that. You need policy on every single call.

The solution
The agent holds nothing. The gateway holds the policy.
agent:tax-scraper → s3:GetObject lien-ingest/nj/* policy deny-by-default · rule 14 match ALLOW identity server-stamped · workspace 8117… audit #a91f2c · 1.2ms ✓ agent:tax-scraper → iam:CreateUser policy no matching rule DENY approval → Telegram · waiting for a human
- Zero credentials
- Policy-as-code
- MicroVM isolation
- Human-in-the-loop
How it works
Every call, checked.

The market
Every one of these agents needs a control plane.
AI-agents market, 46.3% CAGR — MarketsandMarkets, 2025–2030. Bottoms-up SAM: ~180K US companies of 5–500 people × $12K/yr ≈ $2.2B.
They gate governance to Enterprise.
We ship it at $999.

Geordie AI · May 2026
$30M Series A
Security & governance for AI agents. $155M post-money. Won RSAC 2026 Innovation Sandbox.
Oasis Security
$120M
Non-human identity — every agent needs one.
Agentic security · 10 startups
$3.6B raised
Series A capital is concentrating in agent identity + governance.
They bolt security onto enterprise agents. We are the runtime — zero-credential by construction, self-host, at mid-market price.

Why we win
Four things nobody else holds together.
01
Policy-as-code at SMB price
02
Native agent-to-agent
03
Multi-provider · 0% token markup
04
Self-host first
Gartner: agent projects fail because governance is treated as binary — locked down or fully trusted. Per-call policy plus a human in the loop is the non-binary answer. That's architecture, not a feature.
Source: Gartner, 2026 — uniform governance across AI agents leads to failure; 40%+ of agentic AI projects cancelled by 2027
