When autonomous AI agents make decisions—updating databases, issuing credits, or calling internal APIs—poligin enforces deterministic security policies before anything executes in production. Sub-2ms runtime containment with zero blindspots.
Everything enterprise leaders and CISOs need to know about the new era of autonomous action governance.
poligin is the real-time action firewall for autonomous AI agents. Just as network firewalls inspect network packets and IAM verifies user logins, poligin inspects the actions an AI agent attempts to execute (like querying a database, transferring money, or modifying code) and deterministically validates them against company policies before they happen.
Because the AI security paradigm fundamentally broke when models gained the ability to execute actions. In 2023, AI models were chatbots that generated text. If they hallucinated, they produced silly words. In 2025–2026, agents have tool permissions, database connections, and corporate API keys. When an autonomous agent is tricked or hallucinates today, it executes real, irreversible financial or operational damage in milliseconds.
To eliminate the impossible choice facing CISOs and AI leaders. Until now, leaders had two bad options: hobble agents with read-only access (destroying AI productivity and ROI) or grant broad tool access and pray they aren't compromised by prompt injections. poligin gives you the confidence to unlock full autonomous capabilities with mathematically guaranteed safety bounds.
refund(), delete_user(), execute_sql())Stateful multi-turn threat prevention, live empirical red-team validation, and autonomous zero-touch policy synthesis for mission-critical enterprise agents.
Security that unblocks innovation instead of slowing it down. Accelerate your AI roadmap with provable governance.
Unblock risk-averse security and legal teams. Move enterprise AI agents from stalled internal pilots to revenue-generating production in weeks with guaranteed safety.
Satisfy mandatory Article 14 requirements (human oversight and technical failsafes) for high-risk AI out of the box with automated, tamper-evident audit logs.
Avoid vendor lock-in. Switch seamlessly between OpenAI, Google Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, and Claude without rewriting your compliance policies or governance stack.
Integrate in minutes. Deploys as a transparent proxy or a 3-line Python SDK wrapper. Your backend microservices and databases require zero architectural modifications.
Engineered for enterprise scale: sub-2 millisecond evaluation latency, fail-closed safety, and zero dependencies on cloud ML inference.
As soon as an agent formulates an action (via Model Context Protocol or Python SDK), poligin captures the exact parameters—user context, target resource, and dollar values.
Our in-memory Go AST policy engine evaluates enterprise Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) rules instantly. Zero cloud roundtrips, zero probabilistic guessing.
Authorized actions proceed transparently. Unauthorized actions are immediately terminated before hitting your API. Every decision is cryptographically signed with HMAC-SHA256.
Privileged actions trigger real-time, interactive cards in Slack & Microsoft Teams. Approvers authorize in 1 click, generating single-use cryptographic tokens.
poligin connects to any AI framework in just 3 lines of code, or operates as a zero-touch network proxy on port 8080.

print(f"Step-up required. Challenge ticket: {e.ticket_id}")Concrete real-world examples of how runtime action containment prevents catastrophic losses.
A user uses prompt manipulation to trick an autonomous customer service agent into waiving a $15,000 billing fee or exfiltrating other clients' confidential account histories.
Enforces deterministic business bounds (max_waiver ≤ $100) and cryptographically validates that the agent's target tenant ID strictly matches the verified caller session.
An autonomous banking agent processes a forged PDF with an embedded indirect prompt injection requesting an immediate unauthorized wire transfer to an offshore entity.
Instantly halts transactions exceeding daily liquidity limits, enforces business-hours execution locks, and mandates human dual-custody verification before the wire API executes.
A coding assistant (Cursor, Claude Desktop) is tricked by an external open-source repository into deleting production database tables or exfiltrating private SSH keys.
Enforces strict workspace directory isolation: blanket DENY on file reads targeting .env or id_rsa, and terminates all system-level drop or mutate commands in < 2ms.
Why traditional identity and perimeter firewalls cannot see or stop autonomous agent actions.
