Vorlon debuts Guardian to block risky AI agent actions before they complete
Agentic ecosystem security startup Vorlon Inc. today launched Guardian, a real-time enforcement gateway that aims to block risky actions by artificial intelligence agents before a transaction completes rather than flagging them after the fact.
The product targets a gap Vorlon argues most agent security tools leave open. AI agents do not log in. They authenticate with OAuth tokens and application programming interface keys, chain actions across systems, and move sensitive data at machine speed with no human in the loop. As the company puts it, with agents, the activity is the threat, not the access.
Guardian sits at the protocol layer between agents and the systems they connect to, applying policy before any transaction goes through. Security teams can block actions that violate policy, mask sensitive data in transit before it reaches an unauthorized destination and downgrade an agent’s access to read-only where write access is not warranted. Policies are set both at the agent platform level and at each connected system, so a data lake holding personally identifiable information can run under stricter rules than a project management tool.
