Enterprise Security Architecture

Defense-in-depth across six architectural layers.

From Non-Human Identity (NHI L0–L4) and application prompt/tool firewalls down to OS syscall prevention and on-device Physical AI guardrails on NVIDIA Jetson.

6-Layer Reference Architecture

Unified control from cloud orchestration to edge actuators

Spectre AI enforces policy at every boundary an autonomous workflow crosses — identity, application, network, OS endpoint, physical robotics, and enterprise SOC operations.

LAYER 01 · IDENTITY LAYER NHI L0–L4

Agent & Non-Human Identity Governance

Cryptographic workload identity and scoped delegation so an agent never inherits standing admin privileges.

  • Agent Identity Levels (L0–L4) based on autonomy and blast radius
  • RFC 8693 Token Exchange for scoped, short-lived delegation
  • SPIFFE / SPIRE cryptographic workload attestation
  • Native integration with Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, Keycloak, and Auth0
LAYER 02 · APPLICATION LAYER <200 ms Inline

Prompt, Tool & RAG Policy Enforcement

Inline transaction controller between users, foundation models, RAG stores, and MCP tool servers.

  • Prompt & Response Firewall (injection, jailbreak, toxicity, hallucination)
  • Policy Enforcement Point (PEP) & deterministic tool allowlisting
  • RAG Access Controls & document-level entitlement filtering
  • AI SAST / DAST & continuous CART red teaming in CI/CD and production
LAYER 03 · NETWORK LAYER Zero Trust

Micro-Segmented Agent Communications

Prevents compromised agents or poisoned MCP servers from pivoting laterally or exfiltrating data over the wire.

  • Zero Trust Network Access & mutual TLS (mTLS) between agents and tools
  • Strict Egress Control stopping unauthorized webhook, DNS, or API calls
  • DLP In-Transit inspecting agent-to-agent and agent-to-tool payloads
  • Protocol Inspection for MCP, gRPC, WebSockets, and REST tool calls
LAYER 04 · OS / ENDPOINT LAYER ~400 µs Syscall Block

SIGMA Engine & AgentProtect on the Host

User-space syscall enforcement with zero kernel modules across developer workstations, servers, and cloud workloads.

  • 22 Protect Modules stopping credential theft, ransomware, wipers, and injection
  • Local DLP & File Boundaries protecting ~/.ssh, cloud keys, and source code
  • Local LLM / MCP Governance with an on-device MCP server (1,000+ tools)
  • 100% Offline & Air-Gapped Operation with zero cloud dependency
LAYER 05 · PHYSICAL AI / ROBOTICS LAYER Edge & Kinetic

Deterministic Safety for Embodied AI & C-UAS

Hardware-enforced guardrails ensuring a compromised vision-language-action (VLA) model never issues an unsafe kinetic command.

  • On-device guardrails running natively on NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano
  • Sensor Input Filtering against adversarial visual/LiDAR/RF spoofing
  • Signed Model Execution & cryptographic firmware verification
  • Hardware Tamper Detection & deterministic kinematic envelope limits
LAYER 06 · ENTERPRISE OPERATIONS Sovereign & Hybrid

Unified Observability, SIEM & Deployment

Single pane of glass for CISOs, SOC analysts, and AI governance boards across any infrastructure footprint.

  • Full Lineage Telemetry exported to Splunk, Sentinel, Chronicle, and QRadar
  • Automated Compliance Evidence for ISO 42001, NIST AI RMF, EU AI Act, HIPAA, PCI
  • Flexible Deployment: Kubernetes, SaaS, single-tenant VPC, on-prem, or air-gapped
  • Sovereign AI Ready: full data residency with open-weight local models
End-to-End Lifecycle

The Spectre AI Protection Framework

Continuous security across Development, Pre-Production, and Production — backed by managed red-teaming and compliance mapping.

STAGE 1 · DEVELOPMENT

AI Code Review

Secures AI-generated code, agent tool definitions, and MCP configurations before they merge.

  • Vulnerability Detection in LLM-assisted code and agent orchestrations
  • Compliance Checks against enterprise secure-coding standards
  • Automated Remediation pull requests and policy suggestions
  • CI/CD Integration for GitHub, GitLab, and enterprise pipelines
STAGE 2 · PRE-PROD & PROD

AI Red Teaming (CART)

Adversarial stress-testing of foundation models, RAG pipelines, and multi-agent systems.

  • Adversarial Testing across 185+ attack vectors and 140+ languages
  • Agentic Workflow Testing for tool misuse and privilege escalation
  • Risk Scoring & Reporting mapped to MITRE ATLAS & OWASP
  • Continuous Monitoring against model drift and new jailbreaks
STAGE 3 · PRODUCTION RUNTIME

AI Guardrails & SIGMA

Real-time enforcement across prompts, model outputs, tool calls, and endpoint syscalls.

  • Input / Output Filtering in <200 ms with zero data leakage
  • Policy Enforcement for tool calls and NHI delegation
  • PII / PHI Protection and inline secret redaction
  • Real-Time Blocking down to the OS syscall (~400 µs) via SIGMA

Standards, Frameworks & Regulatory Alignment

Every blocked action and red-team finding is automatically mapped to global AI and cybersecurity standards for audit-ready reporting.

SIGMA Endpoint Runtime Catalog

22 Protect Modules. Grouped by the action they stop.

Every module runs inside the unified user-space SIGMA agent with zero kernel drivers and 100% offline efficacy.
