Spectre AI combines continuous adversarial testing (CART) and real-time LLM/tool-call Guardrails with deterministic host-level enforcement (SIGMA Engine & AgentProtect). Every red-team breakthrough automatically becomes an enforceable runtime rule.
Continuous Agentic Red Teaming (CART) probes your live AI applications and multi-agent workflows 24/7. Every successful attack automatically synthesizes into a real-time Guardrail and SIGMA endpoint policy.
An RLHF-trained adversarial engine that attacks prompts, tool chains, RAG pipelines, and multi-agent orchestrations across the full 7-stage agentic kill chain.
Sits directly in the execution path to filter inputs and outputs, verify non-human identity, and authorize every tool call and agent action before it executes.
| Time | Agent / Process | Role | Tool / Syscall | Verdict | Latency | Enforcement Note |

Built by veteran OS and endpoint security researchers, the SIGMA Engine enforces deterministic host boundaries in ~400 microseconds — with zero kernel modules and 100% offline efficacy.
Operates entirely in user space via deterministic syscall interception and behavioral call-chain tracking. Eliminates kernel panic / BSOD risk across Windows, Linux, and macOS fleets.
Intercepts unauthorized file reads, credential memory access, process injection, and network exfiltration before the OS completes the system call.
Requires zero cloud dependency or signature round-trips to block ransomware, wipers, infostealers, or rogue agent actions. Validated in defense evaluations.
Existing EDR sees node, python, or bash running under an authenticated developer or service account. AgentProtect tracks the full delegation chain and enforces deterministic boundaries in <100 ms (ALLOW / AUDIT / BLOCK).

| Kill-Chain Stage | Attack / Agent Action | Legacy EDR + Standalone Prompt Filter | Spectre AI (Guardrails + AgentProtect + SIGMA) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Indirect Injection | Poisoned Jira ticket, email, or web page instructs agent to exfiltrate secrets | EDR does not inspect LLM context; basic text classifier bypassed via multi-turn encoding | Shield Guardrails detect indirect injection & untrusted context taint in <200 ms |
| 2. Tool Invocation | Agent invokes MCP tool or shell execution outside delegated task scope | Permitted because the agent process runs with the user’s valid OAuth / OS session | Tool Authorization (PEP) checks NHI delegation level (L0–L4) and blocks out-of-scope tool call |
| 3. Credential Access | Subprocess attempts to read ~/.aws/credentials, LSASS, or browser cookies |
Allowed as normal file I/O by a signed developer binary (node / python) |
AgentProtect & CredentialProtect block the syscall in ~400 µs based on process lineage |
| 4. Ransomware / Wiper | AI-generated polymorphic script (e.g., PromptLock) begins encrypting files | Novel script has no signature; heuristic alert fires after hundreds of files are modified | RansomProtect & WiperProtect deterministically halt unauthorized file-mutation chains with zero data loss |
| 5. Network Exfiltration | Agent attempts to POST sensitive records to an external webhook or DNS tunnel | HTTPS traffic over port 443 appears normal; DLP alert reviewed hours later | ExfilProtect & Egress Control block unauthorized outbound transfer inline at the host & gateway |
| 6. Continuous Hardening | New jailbreak technique emerges across model updates | Requires manual rule authoring and weeks of red-team consulting | CART discovers the bypass automatically and compiles a live Guardrail + SIGMA policy |
