    EVE CoreGuard

    N/AN/AEVE CoreGuard governs what an AI system is allowed to do, and proves what it did. An agent proposes an action. CoreGuard evaluates it against deterministic policy packs and returns ALLOWED, BLOCKED, or MODIFIED before the protected executor is entered. The boundary is fail-closed: without an ALLOW bound by digest to that exact operation, the executor refuses to run. No language model participates in the verdict. Policy packs are…

    Usability
    Cisco
    Though still new, and still developing and maturing, the scope and product features are awesome and very handy for a large corporation. Over time it is expected to provide even more usefulness with larger scope of testing against currently limited set and scope of deployment.
    Future advancements in tool, and in AI algorithms and automation, would be very applicable in inclusive product feature for a wide variety of testing and setting security policies.

    ScreenShots

    EVE CoreGuard Screenshots

    Screenshot of Pre-execution enforcement: a blocked AI action. CoreGuard intercepts a proposed AI action, evaluates it against deterministic policy, and terminates execution before it runs. Shows the live gate round-trip, the CRD score, and the policy class that fired. No LLM anywhere in the decision path.Screenshot of Independently verifiable decision evidence. Every decision is sealed into a signed record that any auditor can verify offline against EVE's published key, with no EVE account and no live connection required. Shows the full seal pipeline: Request, Policy Gate, Decision, Signed Certificate, Audit Ledger.Screenshot of Scan an AI agent before you let it act. Authority Lab parses an agent's declared surface, whether an OpenAPI spec, MCP server manifest, AWS IAM policy or tool definitions, for excessive authority, standing credentials and bypass paths, then returns a signed, independently verifiable Agent Authority Report.Screenshot of Author and compile deterministic policy. Write a policy in EVE's YAML policy DSL and compile it to a reviewable, versioned, deterministic pack, the same shape CoreGuard enforces at runtime. Templates ship for agentic safety, financial, healthcare and PII baselines. The public compiler produces a draft only; activation is a separate governed step.
