Live Intent Assurance and Runtime Security for Autonomous AI Agents

ArmorIQ is a security platform built specifically for autonomous AI agents. Its core idea, which the company calls Live Intent Assurance, is to inspect an agent's plan and verify that each proposed action aligns with the agent's declared intent before that action runs. This is a shift from after-the-fact monitoring toward pre-execution control, aiming to stop unsafe or out-of-scope agent behavior at the moment it would otherwise take effect rather than reporting on damage already done.

The platform is organized into several components. An Intent Engine validates actions against declared intent in near real time. A Sentry module provides live monitoring and alerting, while a Gatekeeper governs which resources and capabilities an agent can reach. A Registry serves as a central inventory and policy dashboard for deployed agents, and an Auditor produces tamper-evident logs designed to support frameworks such as SOC 2, GDPR, and NIST. Together these pieces wrap an agent's actions in continuous policy enforcement.

ArmorIQ targets enterprises deploying AI agents that can access data, call APIs, or trigger workflows, with security teams, platform engineers, and compliance officers as primary users. The company positions its approach as distinct from traditional identity and access management, which governs access, and from output guardrails that filter generated content after the fact. By capturing signed intent and acting before execution, ArmorIQ focuses on keeping agent behavior within an approved boundary as organizations move agentic systems into production.
