The Cryptographic Proof & Execution Gate for AI Agents. Your AI agents write production code, run shell commands, query live databases, and invoke remote MCP tools while your teams trust their output.
KTOS provides an uncompromising execution membrane: zero-trust agent passports, runtime MCP mediation, host-level PTY enclaves, and cryptographic evidence objects (AEOs) your auditors and regulators can verify independently—without trusting our servers.
KTOS brokers execution across your AI agent fleets without vendor lock-in. Encapsulates tool calls, prompts, and shell executions into FIPS 204 ML-DSA-65 signed Agent Evidence Objects.

KTOS is the first platform to close the full loop: intercept → guard → scan → remediate → attest. Every action signed. Every state change proven.
KTOS Enclave & Profile
Captures AI agent intent and MCP JSON-RPC calls before execution. Canonical PTY supervisor with keystroke attestation.
KTOS Guard & SEKHEM
Post-quantum L7 WAF. Rotating Kyber-1024 vaults. Dihedral D₈ polymorphic argument scrubbing. Zero-day prompt injection blocked.
KTOS Scan & OmniScan
OmniScan 8-lane sweep: Shadow AI discovery, Plugin4Shell audit, STIG CAT I/II, SBOM/KEV correlation, and secret scanning across the full asset boundary.
KTOS Heal & Comply
Closed-loop ASAF engine applying host remediations under a human gate. APDL declarations compile to Ansible. FIPS kernel enforced.
KTOS Attest & Stream
Every state change anchored in ML-DSA-65 signed DAG ledger. Streaming OCSF findings to Splunk and Axonius. Assessment-ready evidence (self-assessment or C3PAO).
Decide in one place, verify mathematically everywhere else. KTOS enforces strict execution boundaries where autonomous AI agents touch production.
Intercepts JSON-RPC stdio and mTLS SSE sessions from Claude Code, Cursor, and Antigravity IDE before execution.
Internal adversarial testing by the NouchiX team using CyberStryke, AgentHound, and HexStrike AI. Not a third-party audit.
Rigorous adversarial verification executing 92 targeted attack patterns across three independent security engines: CyberStryke Automated Assault (30/30 OWASP API & LLM vectors), AgentHound Offensive Security Framework (28/28 agentic attack paths across MCP, A2A, model gateways, vector DBs, and execution sandboxes), and HexStrike AI Autonomous Red Team Battery (34/34 FastMCP fuzzing, Nuclei SSTI, Metasploit stagers, Sqlmap stacked/OOB injections, SUID escapes, and covert C2 tunnels). All 92 vectors intercepted, scrubbed, or quarantined in real-time with zero false passes.
Validates edge resilience against classic web API threats and LLM prompt compromise. Neutralizes SQL Injection, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), Directory Traversal, Null Byte Escapes, System Prompt Leaks, and Egress Token Disclosure via SEKHEM L7 WAF.
Adversarial framework targeting agentic attack graphs across MCP servers, A2A protocols, model gateways (LiteLLM), inference backends (Ollama/vLLM), and vector DBs (Qdrant). Neutralizes Tool Shadowing, Description Poisoning, Identity Forgery, and IFC Taints.
Executes high-density adversarial exploit chains against FastMCP interfaces, testing for schema fuzzing, Metasploit payload delivery, SQLMap stacked/OOB channels, Nuclei template injections, SUID privilege escalations, and stealth C2 beacons.
Union-based extractions, blind boolean injections, and out-of-band SQLi payloads completely scrubbed and blocked.
Reflected DOM injections, mutated SVG vectors, and script tag payloads neutralized prior to execution.
Dot-dot-slash directory traversal (/../etc/shadow) and %00 null byte bypasses intercepted and contained in sandbox.
Adversarial instruction injection hidden in tool parameter docstrings and tool shadowing collisions neutralized by AST schema lockdown.
Subagent forgery and caller spoofing attempts blocked via Nkyinkyim-bound ML-DSA-65 Agent Passports and cryptographic nonces.
Context window taint propagation, vector DB token leakage, and side-channel exfiltration severed by Zero-Egress Blackhole.
Malformed JSON-RPC frames, parameter type confusion, and unicode payload smuggling intercepted by AST validation and schema lock.
Server-side template injections, reverse TCP stager shellcode, and memory injection sequences caught by SEKHEM Gateway and PTY enclave.
SUID/Sudo process escapes, GTFOBins exploitation, DNS/SMB tunneling, and covert beaconing severed by Layer 1 Giza Firewall.
Standard logs tell you an action occurred. Lineation tells you why in their cloud database. KTOS gives you mathematical non-repudiation on your own bare-metal host.
Pre-flight dry-run executes in an isolated mirror staging environment. Config diff generated; CISO human gate approves execution.

Every AI agent action signed with ML-DSA-65 and anchored in an immutable DAG ledger. Cryptographically impossible to backdate.
Portable ML-DSA-65 identity credential for AI agents. Binds intent + action + outcome in a verifiable Agent Evidence Object (AEO).
Full deterministic replay of any AI agent session. Reproduce exact tool calls, arguments, and outputs for incident investigation.
Continuous behavioral trust scoring across agent fleets. Anomaly detection powered by KASA evolutionary algorithm.
8 scanning lanes: Shadow AI discovery (Ollama/vLLM), Plugin4Shell audit, STIG CAT I/II checks, SBOM/KEV correlation, secret scanning.
Post-quantum L7 WAF with rotating CRYSTALS-Kyber-1024 vaults (pre-standard; FIPS 203 ML-KEM-1024 migration in progress) and polymorphic argument scrubbing.
Deep packet inspection of MCP JSON-RPC sessions. Flags prompt injections, indirect tool abuse, and cross-agent privilege escalation.
Canonical PTY supervisor wrapping every AI agent shell session. Keystroke attestation + isolation boundary enforcement.
110 CMMC L2 practices + 36,195 cross-framework mappings. APDL policy declarations compile to Ansible. Assessment-ready evidence (self-assessment or C3PAO).
ML-DSA-65 authorized kernel-level remediation: sysctl, PAM, SELinux, GRUB FIPS. Human gate required. DAG-attested on execution.
Formal mathematical verification of compliance policies using Z3 SMT solver. Proves policy satisfiability before deployment.
Real-time OCSF 1.0 event stream to Splunk HEC, Elastic/Filebeat, and Axonius DSPM. Every DAG event surfaces in your SOC.
SaaS proxies trap logs in vendor clouds. Cloud scanners ignore agent keystrokes. GRC checklists verify paperwork. KTOS is the only platform providing host execution gating and vendor-independent post-quantum proof.

“78% of organizations have already had an AI security incident[1], and nearly half can't trace what their AI did[2]. When an AI agent changes production, 'trust our logs' isn't an answer. Proof is. KTOS signs every agent action at the moment it happens, so anyone can verify what happened — without trusting us.”
