Agent Runtime Security

Defense-in-depth pattern for protecting autonomous AI agents that execute real-world actions, using layered guardrails, action gating, and monitoring.

pattern N/A
assess

Agent Skill Supply Chain Risk

Security threat pattern covering attacks that exploit trust chains between skill registries, skill authors, and consuming AI agents.

pattern N/A
assess

AI Vulnerability Scanning

Emerging pattern applying LLM-driven agentic code auditing to discover software vulnerabilities at scale — including novel zero-days — with demonstrated capability to exceed automated fuzzing and match expert human security researchers.

open-source N/A (pattern)
assess

ClawKeeper

A three-layer real-time security framework for OpenClaw agents providing instruction-level, runtime, and system-level defense against prompt injection and credential leakage.

NVIDIA OpenShell

NVIDIA's open-source Rust runtime for sandboxed AI agent execution, providing declarative YAML-policy-enforced filesystem, network, process, and inference isolation via Landlock, seccomp, and a K3s-in-Docker architecture.

open-source Apache-2.0
assess Compare alternatives

Objective Development

Austrian indie software company founded by Christian Starkjohann, best known for Little Snitch (macOS network monitor since 2003) and LaunchBar; now expanding to Linux with an eBPF-based network monitoring tool.

vendor Commercial + GPL-2.0 (open-source components)

W3C DID Agent Identity

Applies W3C Decentralized Identifiers to AI agents, giving each a cryptographic identity for tamper-evident audit trails and non-repudiation.

open-source W3C Standard (open)
assess

Zerobox

A lightweight CLI and TypeScript SDK that sandboxes processes using OS-level isolation with deny-by-default file, network, and credential controls.
