# Authorize every action. Don’t just watch it

Agents act in your environment with authority no one scoped. Highflame gives every agent a verifiable identity and decides, inline, whether each action is allowed, instead of alerting after the fact.

▸ THE PROBLEM

## Agents act with authority no one scoped, attributed, or enforced

Most agent-security tools observe and alert. By the time a monitor flags drift, the action already happened.

![Agents inherit too much trust](/personas/overscope.png)

### Agents inherit too much trust

Shared keys, service accounts, developer tokens: no least-privilege model, no expiry, no context-aware scope.

![Attacks reach production](/personas/attack.png)

### Attacks reach production

Prompt injection, data exfiltration, and unsafe tool calls are live exploitation paths. And most stacks have no inline enforcement.

### You can’t see what’s acting

Shadow agents spread across clouds, IDEs, and SaaS with no inventory and no named owner.

INVENTORYNone

▸ THE SOLUTION

## Identity, authorization, and enforcement as one substrate

Highflame decides whether each action is allowed before it lands. At every boundary an agent crosses.

01

### Verifiable identity for every agent

Every agent, bot, and integration gets a credential tied to a named human owner: built or bought.

02

### Inline authorization, every boundary

Agent actions, IDE actions, and model/A2A/MCP calls are checked against one policy engine before they execute.

03

### Signal engine + adaptive guardrails

150+ typed signals on every agent run, scored against a guardrail layer that tightens as new patterns appear.

04

### Continuous red teaming

Adversarial scans turn findings into enforcement policy, then re-scan to prove the fix. Mapped to OWASP, NIST, and MITRE.

## Make unauthorized actions a non-event

### Decide, don’t just detect

Define-then-permit, not anomaly alerts after the breach.

### Contain blast radius in seconds

Cascade revocation across the fleet; mission drift contained before it lands.

### One policy, every application

Set centrally; every agent and app inherits it, including next quarter’s.

## From unmanaged agents to governed access

-   Discovery of every agent across clouds, IDEs, and SaaS: including shadow seats
-   Unauthorized actions blocked before they execute, not flagged after
-   Real-time cascade revocation across the entire fleet
-   Continuous adversarial scanning mapped to OWASP · NIST · MITRE
-   Every action attributed to the agent and its human owner

## Security FAQ

How is this different from a monitor or EDR for AI?

Monitors watch agents drift and alert you after. Highflame authorizes each action inline and enforces. Observation is downstream of the decision, not a substitute for it.

Does it replace my AI gateway?

No. We integrate with any AI proxy or gateway and add per-action authorization keyed to the agent’s identity.

What about agents we didn’t build?

Trust tiers gate what marketplace and bought agents are eligible for, and a lower tier means tighter policy. Either way every action is still authorized per request, so there is no implicit trust.

What’s the latency?

Cedar policy decisions evaluate out-of-band in under 1 ms; detection runs in under 10 ms.
