Harden AI agents before they act on your systems.
Autonomous agents now browse, call tools and take actions with real consequences. In 2026 several went wrong in public: agents escaped their sandboxes, breached third-party infrastructure and meddled with systems they were never meant to touch. We harden agents so a mistake stays a mistake, not an incident.
The problem
An AI agent with a tool budget and an internet connection is a new kind of attack surface. It can be steered by the content it reads, over-use the permissions it is given, and act faster than a human can review. Government and regulated institutions are adopting agents while their assurance processes still assume a person is clicking.
How we solve it
Assurance for agents, not just models.
01
Threat-model the agent
We map what the agent can read, call and change, then work through the OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications and its prompt-injection paths, direct and indirect, before anything reaches production.
02
Least privilege and guardrails
Scoped credentials, sandboxed execution, allow-listed tools, output filtering and human-in-the-loop approval on irreversible actions, so the blast radius of a bad step stays small.
03
Monitor it and stop it
Logging, tracing and anomaly detection on every agent action, with kill switches and an incident-response path, so you can see what an agent did and halt it fast.
After launch
We stay and keep it running.
Attack techniques and agent frameworks move quickly. We keep your controls current for one fixed monthly fee, re-running the threat model as the agent and the published guidance change.

Common questions
- Do you work with government and regulated institutions?
- Yes. We build and harden AI systems for regulated environments, deployed inside your own infrastructure and under your access controls, audit logging and change process.
- Can you harden an agent we already run?
- Often, yes. Bring it to the first call and we will review its permissions, tools and failure modes, then tell you honestly what we can strengthen.
