Providing security against anomalous autonomous agents requires instantaneous detection, evaluation and action – a circuit breaker for AI rather than a circuit breaker for electricity.
Such a ‘device’ has now been developed and released by Capsule Security.
The firm was founded in 2025 by Naor Paz (CEO) and Lidan Hazout (CTO). They had seen how autonomous AI agents create a dangerous security gap and decided to build a missing runtime security layer. Their latest solution was announced on September 2, 2026, and is described as an ‘AI circuit breaker’. It is designed to prevent damage from agents operating outside their intended scope, in real-time.
“The defining AI security risk is no longer only what people can do with agents. It is what autonomous agents can decide to do by themselves,” explains Paz in announcing the product. “When software can reason, use tools and take action, a wrong decision can become a real-world incident in seconds. Human trust in AI depends on our ability to stop that action before it happens.”
The problem is not simply the reach of autonomous agents; it is also the speed at which they operate. While it may be possible to review an agent’s behavior before it happens, doing so commonly introduces latency that may be too slow and too expensive for the agent’s intended action.
