The Security Layer for AI Agents

Let your agents act.
Aegis keeps them safe.

Aegis is an intelligent security layer for autonomous AI agents — detecting prompt injection, unsafe actions, sensitive-data exposure and suspicious behavior before they become incidents.

Why agent security is different

AI agents don't just generate.
They act.

Traditional security protects applications. Aegis protects the agent's decision and action layer — the point where an LLM's output becomes real-world behavior.

An LLM should never be the final authority on whether a sensitive action is allowed. Aegis sits between your agent and its tools, evaluating every action independently and deterministically. A malicious prompt cannot tell Aegis to "ignore the security policy."

Security console

See what Aegis sees.

Every action your agents take is intercepted, evaluated and decided — allowed, flagged for review, or blocked.

Protection

Protect every action.

Four deterministic defenses run on every action before it executes — independent of the LLM's own judgment.

Prompt Injection Defense

01

Detect malicious or untrusted instructions hidden in webpages, documents, external content and tool outputs.

Tool Call Protection

02

Evaluate dangerous or unexpected agent actions before execution — destructive operations, unauthorized tools, broad-scope targets.

Sensitive Data Protection

03

Detect API keys, credentials, tokens, personal information and confidential files — and redact them from every audit trail.

Unauthorized Action Detection

04

Identify behavior outside agent policies or expected workflows — permissions, trust classification and delegation verified on every call.

Decision engine

Every action gets a decision.

Aegis never trusts the LLM alone for authorization. Each action flows through an explainable, deterministic pipeline — with risk scores, matched policies and reasons recorded for every outcome.

Worked example

Agent wants to send an API credential to an external server.

  • Sensitive credential — detected
  • External destination — detected
  • Unexpected behavior — detected
Risk 94 / 100BLOCKED

"Untrusted destination + credential detected + abnormal agent behavior."

Live demo

See Aegis stop an attack.

An interactive simulation of an indirect prompt injection hidden inside a webpage — the same scenario class shipped in the Aegis Attack Lab.

untrusted-blog.example.com/article
  1. Agent visits page
  2. Content loads
  3. Suspicious instruction appears
  4. Aegis analyzes content
  5. Policy triggers — action blocked
  6. Security event recorded

Run the simulation to watch Aegis intercept an indirect prompt injection hidden in a webpage.

Why was this action blocked?

The action was blocked because untrusted page content attempted to override the agent's trusted instructions.

Aegis Copilot — AI security analyst

Ask your security data anything.

Ask questions about security events, threats, agents, risk scores, policies and sensitive-data findings — in plain language, answered from your Aegis audit trail.

  • Why was this action blocked?
  • Show me the highest-risk event today.
  • Which agent has the highest risk?
  • What caused my security score to drop?
  • Explain this prompt injection.
  • Are any credentials exposed?

Aegis for VS Code

Security follows your agent.

The Aegis VS Code extension brings the security console into your IDE — monitor agent status, handle approvals and run attack scenarios without leaving your editor.

  • Credentials stored via VS Code secret storage — never in plaintext
  • Live approvals and blocked-action alerts

Policy engine

You decide what agents are allowed to do.

Express security as deterministic rules — evaluated with strict precedence on every action. Toggle a capability below to see how policies map to outcomes.

Full traceability

Trace what happened.

Every decision is recorded in an append-only, redacted audit trail — so you can reconstruct exactly what happened, when, and why.
