What is Control Core?

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.

How is Control Core different from an API gateway?

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.

Does Control Core require code changes or an SDK?

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

Where does Control Core run?

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

How does Control Core help with AI and API security?

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.

What is Control Core?

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

CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE & INDUSTRIAL RESILIENCE

Access controls built on different systems cannot govern the other.

Control Core places runtime controls across both OT and IT transaction paths. NERC CIP and Bill C-26 rules become live guardrails. Third-party vendor access is bounded by policy, not by trust on paper.

Structural Risk Points

OT and IT Convergence Gap

Operational technology was built for isolation. Once connected to IT networks, those systems face threats they were never designed to evaluate or resist. Perimeter tools stop at the login screen.

Vendor and Contractor Access

Third-party maintenance and monitoring access is granted by necessity and then largely uncontrolled. An over-permissioned session reaching critical control systems is a solved problem. Until it happens.

Vendor and Contractor Access

Regulatory Evidence Deficit

NERC CIP and Bill C-26 require continuous control evidence. A point-in-time audit cannot show what happened on the grid last Tuesday at 2am. Control Core can.

OPERATIONAL INTEGRITY

Live controls across the operational boundary.

NERC CIP and Bill C-26 requirements compile into runtime controls on both OT and IT paths. Vendor access is bounded at the wire. Continuous evidence satisfies regulatory requirements without manual prep.
