How Asyrx Fits
A layer your security stack is missing — not a replacement for it
Identity, authorization and existing security infrastructure answer important questions. None of them are built to answer the question that matters most once an agent is authenticated and authorized: what happens if this particular action is wrong?
Who is acting?
Identity
Authenticates the agent and establishes its identity.
Can they access it?
Authorization
Determines what the agent is permitted to touch.
What is the risk and potential impact of this action?
Asyrx
Evaluates the specific proposed action before it executes.
Complementary, not competitive
Where Asyrx sits next to what you already run
Identity & authorization (IAM)
IAM establishes who an agent is and what it is entitled to access. Asyrx does not authenticate agents or manage entitlements — it evaluates the risk of the specific action an already-authorized agent is proposing.
Data loss prevention (DLP)
DLP tools inspect content and enforce data-handling policy, typically at the network or endpoint layer. Asyrx evaluates structured action metadata — what is being done, to what, at what scale — and is not a content-inspection or endpoint control.
AI guardrails & prompt security
Guardrail and prompt-security tools focus on model inputs and outputs — what the model is asked and what it says. Asyrx focuses downstream, on the consequential action the agent is about to take against a real system.
Observability platforms
Observability tools tell you what happened. Asyrx is evaluated before the action executes, so its output can inform whether the action should proceed, not only how it is later reviewed.
Policy engines
Policy engines encode and enforce your organization's rules. Asyrx supplies the contextual risk and blast-radius intelligence a policy engine can use as an input — Asyrx does not replace your policy engine or make the enforcement decision itself.
