Description

Kastra serves as the crucial authorization framework for AI systems, determining the permissions of agents, models, and tools prior to their execution. Positioned along the execution path of all interactions such as prompts, tool calls, shell commands, database operations, and API requests, it evaluates each action based on deterministic, attribute-driven policies, rendering decisions to allow, deny, redact, or escalate in less than a millisecond. In contrast to monitoring solutions that only track AI actions post-execution, Kastra proactively prevents unauthorized activities before they can impact any tool, API, database, or production environment. Its comprehensive control plane integrates a policy engine, edge decision-making capabilities, various integrations, and a tamper-proof evidence vault that securely signs each decision for auditing and replay purposes. Furthermore, with Kastra Edge, local enforcement is extended to developer environments, safeguarding coding agents such as Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex CLI from harmful commands, unauthorized data extraction, unsafe file modifications, and improper tool usage. This proactive approach to authorization not only enhances security but also ensures compliance and accountability in AI-driven processes.

Description

NVIDIA OpenShell serves as an open and secure runtime environment specifically designed for autonomous AI agents, regulating their execution, access rights, and the pathways for inference traffic. Instead of embedding security within the model or application, it maintains safety measures in the surrounding environment, meaning that nothing is allowed by default; permissions are assigned through established policies, and enforcement mechanisms operate outside the agent process to prevent any circumvention via prompts. Each autonomous agent operates within a confined sandbox, which restricts direct network connectivity, limits file access, and implements kernel-level monitoring of system calls to ensure rigorous oversight. Acting as the control plane, a gateway is responsible for user authentication, lifecycle management of sandboxes, and the provision of policies, settings, credentials, and inference configurations to the agents. Additionally, a supervisor operates externally to each sandbox, scrutinizing network requests according to policies at various levels—including binary, destination, method, and path—and only grants access to credentials when explicitly permitted, thus enhancing the overall security framework. This layered architecture ensures that the agents function effectively while maintaining robust security protocols throughout their operations.
