SLM FloodGate™
AI agent trust and security gateway. The governance layer required for organisations deploying autonomous AI systems.
The problem
As organisations deploy AI agents, they need confidence that every agent is genuine, unmodified, correctly permissioned, operating within policy, and that every action can be attributed to a verified identity.
Existing cybersecurity tools protect the environment. None verify the intelligent systems operating within it. FloodGate closes that gap.
Architecture
Agent passport
Every AI agent requires a cryptographically verifiable identity containing origin, ownership, permissions, and current verification status.
Trust evaluation engine
Continuously evaluates agent identity, behaviour patterns, permission scope, and risk indicators against live policy definitions.
Policy engine
Controls what the agent can access, what actions it can perform, and when human intervention or escalation is required.
Signing service & ledger
Cryptographically signs verified actions and maintains an immutable record for attribution, audit, and compliance.
Trust state machine
AI agents should not receive permanent trust. Trust must be continuously evaluated throughout the agent lifecycle.
Unknown
Agent has not been evaluated. No trust assigned. Access denied by default.
Admitted
Initial identity verification passed. Limited access granted for evaluation.
Trusted
Full verification and behavioural baseline established. Operates within policy.
Restricted
Anomaly detected or policy violation. Access limited pending review.
Quarantined
Significant risk indicator. Agent isolated from enterprise systems.
Revoked
Trust permanently withdrawn. Agent identity blacklisted.
Expired
Agent credentials or permissions have exceeded their validity period.
Integration
FloodGate is designed to complement, not replace, existing security infrastructure.
