Kernel-native AI agent security
Antivirus-like runtime security for your AI agents
Install and instantly protect in under 5 minutes. Ring Zero detects and blocks prompt injection, credential exfiltration, and multi-step attack chains — at the kernel layer, underneath the model. No SDK. No agent modifications.
The blind-spot filler for your security stack
CrowdStrike sees syscalls. SentinelOne sees API traffic. Ring Zero sees the causal chain from a compromised prompt to a credential exfiltration — and blocks it.
Real-time Agent Monitoring
Every active AI agent session — kernel events, prompt/response content, file access, network connections. Live dashboard for your security team.
Works with Any Agent
Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Codex, custom LLM agents. Ring Zero intercepts at the kernel — no SDK changes, no agent modifications.
Attack Chain Detection
Multi-step provenance graph correlates prompt injection with downstream OS actions. Detects chains that EDRs see as unrelated events.
Deploy script needs SSH key for remote push
Schema migration requires DB snapshot
Local dev domain routing
Vulnerability-Aware Enforcement
Real-time OSV vulnerability checking on package installs. Exploit context persists in the provenance graph for behavioral correlation.
Your EDR catches abnormal outbound traffic — meaning it detects the consequence after the injection already ran. Ring Zero detects the injection at the kernel layer before the exfiltration completes.
Ring Zero SecurityAI Agent Runtime Security
See what your EDR misses.
Prompt injection, credential exfiltration, multi-step attack chains — detected and blocked at the kernel layer.
Kernel-enforced guardrails. Not another proxy.
Application-layer tools intercept via API proxies — effective until an agent spawns a subprocess or uses a path that bypasses the proxy. Ring Zero enforces at ring zero, where every process must pass.
Kernel-Level Enforcement
Ring Zero sits at ring zero — the kernel. eBPF hooks intercept every file access, process spawn, and network connection before any application-layer bypass is possible.
Global Fleet Visibility
One dashboard for every agent session across your entire organization. On-prem, cloud, or air-gapped — no telemetry leaves the host unless you allow it.
Become a Design Partner
We're working with a small group of security teams deploying AI agents in production to validate our runtime detection against real attack surfaces. Design partners get early access, direct input on the roadmap, and founding customer pricing.
Early Access
First access to every new capability — SSL uprobes, provenance graph, kernel enforcement, SIEM integrations, and on-device SLM.
Shape the Roadmap
Bi-weekly calls with the Ring Zero engineering team. Your real-world threat models directly influence what we build next.
Founding Pricing
Lock in significantly reduced pricing before public launch. Design partners are grandfathered into the best rate we'll ever offer.
What the industry is saying
Security leaders, CISOs, and researchers on the agentic AI risk landscape.
The lethal trifecta for AI agents is access to private data, exposure to untrusted content, and the ability to communicate externally.Together, these create the perfect storm for exploitation. If your agent combines these three features, an attacker can easily trick it into accessing your private data and sending it to that attacker.
Simon Willison
Software Engineer & AI Security Researcher
AI agents are not software in the conventional sense. They are autonomous actors inside the organization —non-deterministic by design. For CISOs, agentic AI security is now one of their most significant and least-understood challenges.
Jeff Pollard
VP & Principal Analyst, Forrester Research
Machine identities already outnumber human identities 82 to 1. When AI agents enter that equation,the identity attack surface doesn't grow — it explodes. Every agent is a credential, and every credential is a potential breach.

Organizations that defend agentic AI only at the model layer — through system prompts and safety filters — are operating on the same layer as the attack.Effective containment requires controls that operate independently of the model.

VP of Security Engineering, Google
When agents are talking to agents, your humans are out of the loop at that point.How are you going to protect against a world where there are rogue AI agents in your environment? MCP and A2A protocols open the door to entirely new classes of risk.

Autonomy combined with authority creates behavioral risks, not just risks associated with code.Autonomous agents in production with no kill switch and no audit trail can cause silent, systemic failures.

AI is the single biggest driver of change in cybersecurity today. The threat is not just AI being used against us —it is the unintended exposure created by AI tools operating inside our own environments.
Arvind Krishna
CEO, IBM
The likelihood of an agentic AI-driven data breach in 2026 is high.We must classify threats as human or AI-originated — the response playbooks are fundamentally different. Containing AI risks requires rethinking how we define the trust perimeter.

Defenses that live inside the model — system prompts, fine-tuning, safety filters — operate on the same layer as the attack.They are part of the conversational context, which means they can be overridden by sufficiently crafted input.
