Enterprise-Grade Runtime Security for AI Agents

AI agents run with your credentials, your files, your network access. They can be steered by a poisoned document — silently, inside your trust boundary. Crawdad inspects every request before it reaches the model and gives your security team complete visibility.

Crawdad Security Dashboard — real-time protection status, detection trends, agent activity

The call is coming from inside the trust boundary.

Your AI agents run with your authority — your credentials, your files, your network. When an agent reads a poisoned document, it doesn't "get hacked." It follows instructions that look exactly like the ones you gave it.

The result: credential exfiltration, unauthorized file access, data leakage — all within your trust boundary. EDR doesn't see it. DLP doesn't see it. Your identity provider doesn't see it. Nothing in the perimeter security stack was built for agent-layer behavior.

Real product, real data, real screenshots — not mockups. Complete visibility into what your AI agents are actually doing.

Inspect, gate, prove.

Every request passes through a multi-layer detection pipeline before payloads leave. Detections are logged to an immutable, Merkle-chained audit trail. Signed enforcement floors ensure that central policy — credential exfiltration protection, PII scanning — cannot be disabled at the endpoint.

  • Multi-layer detection pipeline inspects every request
  • Signed hard floors — central admin can't disable critical protections
  • Immutable Merkle-chained audit log
  • Centralized policy enforcement via Fleet Console
  • Continuous automated red team against your pipeline

Crawdad mobile dashboard — local monitoring on your phone

Raw content never leaves by default.

Your prompts, responses, tool-call arguments, and PII stay on the device. Metadata-only telemetry (counts, categories, verdicts) egresses by default — raw content never does. Telemetry depth is customer-governed; elevated telemetry requires dual-operator authorization.

  • Metadata-only telemetry by default
  • Air-gap capable — runs fully offline
  • Ed25519-signed detection floors
  • No data aggregation risk — nothing to breach

For security buyers, the strongest privacy posture is the one your vendor can't override.

Every result published — no other vendor in the category has published one. Clone the corpus, run the benchmark, compare your tool. Every number is reproducible.

The miss: A bare-pretext social-engineering opener without a specific extraction request (holdout_trust_18). The false positive: A Stack Overflow question about Go syntax that includes source-code references (so_dev_0116).

Architected for regulated environments.

Self-hosted. RBAC. Merkle-chained audit trail. Designed to support SOC 2 controls from the ground up — not bolted on afterward.

Designed for SOC 2 controls

Zero-knowledge by default. Immutable audit trail. Signed enforcement floors. The architecture was designed for regulated environments from day one.

Air-gap capable

Runs fully offline. No cloud dependency for detection, enforcement, or audit. Deploy in air-gapped environments with no degradation in protection.

Fleet Console

Self-hosted centralized management. Scope hierarchy, RBAC, signed commands, sealed telemetry. One console across your entire organization.

Provable enforcement

Ed25519-signed detection floors. Critical protections — credential exfiltration, PII scanning — are cryptographically enforced and cannot be disabled at the endpoint.

Thirty years of finding the gap between what systems do and what their operators believe — across seven companies, four exits, and a public-market merger. AI agents are the newest version of that pattern: they run with your authority, inside your trust boundary, and you can't see the difference between normal and compromised. Crawdad exists because the moment agents became autonomous, someone needed to watch what they actually do.
— Andrew, founder of Crawdad
