Security built for the agentic era

Kavach-AI was founded by security engineers and AI researchers who watched agents gain production access faster than security teams could follow. We build the guardrails that let AI ship without shipping risk.

Our mission

Make every AI agent accountable to the business

Inside-Out is more than a tagline. We start from what is actually running — the agents, tools and data in flight — and work outward to the controls, evidence and response.

Inside-Out · by default

See the live estate first

Inventories go stale in minutes. We keep a live, ownership-linked map of agents, MCP servers, tools and non-human identities across clouds.

Evidence over noise

Prioritize what is exploitable

Runtime context separates real exposure from theoretical risk, so teams fix the ~5% of findings that can actually reach production data.

Open by design

Built on kavach-mcp

Our detection engine grew out of an open-source MCP middleware. The rule families are public, portable and yours to extend.
