The Riptides Platform

A runtime security layer for AI workloads. Under 5ms overhead. No agent restart required.

One Platform, Four Layers of Protection

Riptides runs as a lightweight runtime intercept layer alongside your AI orchestrator. It requires no changes to agent application code and adds under 5ms to each agent call.

The platform operates across four security layers that work together: identity issuance at spawn, policy enforcement at every call, credential management throughout the session, and a complete audit trail from start to termination.

Riptides platform architecture

Platform Capabilities


Identity Issuance


X.509 certificates issued at agent spawn, signed by the Riptides CA. Certificates are scoped, time-limited, and bound to the spawning orchestrator's identity.

Policy Engine


Rego-based policies define what each agent is allowed to do. Enforcement happens at the network egress layer, so application code cannot bypass it.

Credential Broker


Agents request credentials through the Riptides broker. No long-lived keys in environment variables. Rotation is automatic and zero-downtime.

Audit Logger


Every event is written to a hash-chained, tamper-evident log. Queryable by agent ID, time, event type, or policy class.

Anomaly Detection


Behavioral baselines per agent class. Deviations trigger configurable responses: alert, throttle, or isolate. Average detection latency under 50ms.

Trust Broker


When agents call other agents, Riptides brokers the trust relationship. No hardcoded tokens between co-located processes.

Deployment Options


Cloud-Hosted

Riptides managed service. Connect your orchestrator to the Riptides control plane via API. Available on AWS, GCP, and Azure.

Self-Hosted

Deploy the Riptides control plane in your own infrastructure. Kubernetes Helm chart available. Full data sovereignty.

Air-Gapped

For environments with no external connectivity. Enterprise tier only. Offline certificate revocation via OCSP stapling.
