Security for the age of agent populations

Every defender sees one slice.
A swarm lives between the slices.

SwarmSentry detects and localizes coordinated populations of AI agents across organizational boundaries, without anyone sharing their data. Not a theory. Measured, filed, and running in production.

The problem

The attack is not in any slice. It is between them.

A coordinated population of agents spreads its actions across identities, services, time windows and companies so that every single action looks authorized. Each monitor stays green. Only the coincidence across organizations reveals the campaign, and no organization will hand its telemetry to anyone else to find it.

One operator, many companies

One agent inside each of a hundred organizations, each within tolerance. Only the coincidence reveals the campaign.

Nobody will share the data

Agent telemetry reveals tools, data, people and weaknesses. No one hands it to a competitor, a vendor or a government.

Silence is read as safety

Every monitor reports what it saw. None reports what it could not see.

Who this is for

Built for the teams the security industry isn't serving yet.

If you run a fleet of agents, you already have a population. What you don't have is a vendor who can see it: the incumbents watch one slice each, and they were built for a company with a security floor, not for a team that shipped its first hundred agents last quarter.

Agent-native companies

Your agents read mail, call tools, move tickets and money under delegated credentials. There is no behavioral baseline for them anywhere, and no SOC to notice when fifty of them start drifting together. One compromised agent looks like a busy one.

What you get: a population view of your own fleet, your real false-alarm rate, and evidence a person can read today and a SOC can read when you have one.

Platforms and clouds that host agents

When a tenant's swarm hits someone else, the exposure is yours. The cross-tenant pattern is the one thing your abuse team can see but cannot act on without a neutral record, and no incumbent will build that record for you.

What you get: launch-provenance fingerprints in, coordinated-population evidence out, with a per-owner account of what your action would remove.

Enterprises with a security floor join later, through the layers they already buy. Counter-drone integrators whose sensors cannot share a picture across sites are the phase after that. Same ledger, different fingerprints.

How it works

A ledger above all the slices, that owns none of them.

A swarm, for security purposes, is a population that moves together, seen from vantage points nobody controls in common. SwarmSentry takes one-way fingerprints in from any security layer and sends evidence packets out in the languages the security operations center already speaks.

Fingerprints in

  • one-way signatures of behavior
  • where an agent was launched from
  • whether an agent changed itself
  • what the agents were told to do

SwarmSentry ledger

Sees the population, never the data. Reports what it found and what it could not see. One customer plus our own decoy observers is already a federation of three.

Evidence packets out

  • which population, since when
  • which observers corroborate
  • the blind-spot fraction
  • what each owner's action removes

Packets in OCSF, STIX/TAXII and OpenC2. No raw data, prompt, identity or address ever leaves an organization; the schema has no field to hold them.

Silence is not absence

A region no observer covers is a blind spot, never evidence that nothing is there. Every advisory carries its own blind-spot fraction.

No observer is silenced by disagreement

Observer weights never adjust from how much an observer disagrees with the others. A compromised observer cannot talk an honest one out of the room.

"Authorized" is recorded, not learned

The reference for authorized behavior is what the agents were told to do, kept as a record. A population drifting slowly cannot drag a learned baseline with it.

Measured, not argued

Eight experiments. Zero false alarms before onset. Running in production today.

5 minto catch a uniform swarm population
20–25minutes to catch a swarm that re-keys after being flagged
15–20minutes of early warning before the population test fires
0false alarms before onset, in every experiment

One customer is enough

One customer observer plus our three decoy observers catches the learning swarm with the same lag and precision as a five-organization federation.

The case we catch late, and we say so

A controller that re-keys slowly and never reacts: 70–75 minutes and about half the agents. We report the cost of that evasion instead of claiming completeness.

Results from eight labelled experiments, one on real telemetry of our own agent society; no attack was ever built. Version 0 has watched a live agent society in production since October 2026.

Why now

Six incumbents are buying the security layers. None owns the layer above.

$3.6Bventure funding into agent security in the year to October 2026
$96Bof acquisitions: identity, gateway, runtime and SOC layers consolidated
0vendors offering cross-organization, population-level detection

The layer above the layers needs members who will never hand raw telemetry to a competitor. Only a neutral party that never sees the data can be fed by all of them. That is the business.

The shadow-mode assessment

Six weeks. Your agent fleet's fingerprints into the ledger, our decoys as the other observers, nothing acted on. You get your first evidence packets, your coverage map, and your real false-alarm rate. No data leaves your organization, and you need no security team to start: the packets are written for a founder to read.

  1. 1A one-hour scoping call: which agents, which layers, which fingerprints.
  2. 2Fingerprints flow for six weeks; we watch, we do not act.
  3. 3You receive the packets, the coverage map and the numbers, in the formats your SOC already reads.
