Secure execution layer
for AI agents in the enterprise.
Aether sits between your agents and the world — enforcing policies on every tool call, logging every decision, and escalating to humans when the stakes are high.
The Problem
AI agents in production are
ungoverned by default.
Every agent framework ships with capability. None ship with policy enforcement, audit trails, or human oversight. That gap is your compliance risk.
01
Agents act without authorization
Your AI agent reads a database it should not touch, sends an email without approval, or calls an external API unchecked. No one knew until the damage was done.
02
No audit trail for compliance
Your auditor asks what the agent did last Tuesday. ISO 42001 and SOC 2 require more than a log file and a prayer.
03
Human oversight is manual chaos
High-risk steps get reviewed by whoever happens to be watching Slack. No SLA, no routing, no escalation path.
Capabilities
Everything your agents need.
Nothing they should not have.
Policy Engine
Every tool call, every data access, every agent action is evaluated against your Open Policy Agent rules before execution. Deny, allow, or escalate — in under 15ms.
MCP Tool Control
Agents connect to the outside world through Model Context Protocol servers. Aether sits between agent and tool, enforcing policy on every single invocation.
Immutable Audit Trail
Every workflow, every policy decision, every agent action is logged to an append-only structured audit log. Compliance evidence generated continuously, automatically.
Workflow Orchestration
Durable, multi-step agent workflows powered by Temporal. Steps run in sequence or parallel. Failures retry automatically. State survives restarts.
Human-in-the-Loop
High-risk steps pause for human review before proceeding. Escalation signals route to your team via Slack, email, or webhook. The agent waits.
Multi-Tenant Isolation
Per-tenant MCP tool namespacing, isolated policy sets, and separate audit streams. Run dozens of customers on one deployment without data bleed.
How It Works
Five steps. Zero unauthorized actions.
Agent calls a tool
Your agent emits a tool_call — read database, send email, call API.
Envoy intercepts
Aether's proxy captures the request before it reaches the tool.
Policy Engine evaluates policy
Policy engine checks agent identity, tenant, tool, and context in <15ms.
Allow, deny, or escalate
Approved calls proceed. Denied calls error. Flagged calls pause for human review.
Everything is logged
Every decision — allow or deny — written to the immutable audit log.
Compliance
The frameworks your auditors already know.
Aether maps directly to AI governance frameworks. When compliance asks for evidence, the architecture answers.
ISO 42001
AI management system standard. Audit trail, policy engine, and human-in-loop controls map directly to its requirements.
AlignedNIST AI RMF
Govern, Map, Measure, and Manage functions covered by Aether's architecture.
AlignedHIPAA
PHI never leaves the enclave. Agent access to clinical data requires explicit policy allow. Full access log for BAA compliance.
AlignedSOC 2 Type II
Immutable audit log, least-privilege access, automated incident escalation. Control evidence generated continuously.
AlignedPricing
Start secure. Scale with confidence.
All tiers include the full policy engine, audit trail, and Keycloak integration. No security features paywalled.
Your agents should have a paper trail.
