Question 1

What is Control Core?

Accepted Answer

Control Core is a runtime authorization platform that sits inline on the network path between systems. It evaluates every AI agent action, API call, and data request against live policy before the action completes — without requiring SDK integration or application code changes.

Question 2

How is Control Core different from an API gateway?

Accepted Answer

API gateways authenticate at the door and route traffic. Control Core authorizes each action on the wire using identity, payload content, destination, time context, and regulatory policy — in under 5ms. It governs what happens after authentication.

Question 3

Does Control Core require code changes or an SDK?

Accepted Answer

No. Control Core deploys inline in your network path. No SDK. No application rewrites. Authorization logic moves out of your code and into policy.

Question 4

Where does Control Core run?

Accepted Answer

Entirely inside your own VPC or on-premises infrastructure. It is not a SaaS data plane. Your traffic never leaves your network perimeter.

Question 5

How does Control Core help with AI and API security?

Accepted Answer

AI agents and service accounts often receive standing privilege after authentication. Control Core authorizes each action in real time on the wire — stopping unsafe tool calls, data exfiltration, and lateral movement before they complete.
