The operating system for secure AI
WatchTower is the enterprise-grade runtime security and governance layer for every AI model, agent, MCP server, and LLM — trusted by enterprise, government, defense, and critical infrastructure.
Built for teams shipping AI agents to production
Traditional security isn't built for autonomy
As agents begin to act independently — chaining tools, calling APIs, writing to production systems — they introduce risks that static firewalls and SIEMs can't detect. The surface area for failure has expanded overnight.
Unauthorized Data Exfiltration
Agents accessing internal HR or customer data without explicit permission tokens.
Prompt Injection Overrides
User input tricking the LLM into bypassing enterprise safety protocols.
Hallucinated Tool Calls
Agents invoking APIs that don't exist — or worse, calling the wrong production endpoint.
Six integrated modules. One control plane.
Every module operates independently and shares one identity, policy, telemetry, and evidence fabric.
Discover every model, agent, MCP server & LLM
Continuous discovery of every AI system across clouds, clusters, SaaS, and endpoints — with owner, environment, risk tier, and lineage.
- Auto-discovery across AWS, Azure, GCP, on-prem
- Model, agent, MCP, and dataset lineage

- Shadow AI detection
Real-time risk scoring & policy posture
One board-ready view: live risk scores, policy violations, model inventory, and compliance posture across every business unit.
- Live agent risk scoring

Continuous evidence for every framework
SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, NIST AI RMF, NIST CSF, and FedRAMP-ready reporting produced from live runtime telemetry — not screenshots.
- Immutable, signed audit logs
- Automatic evidence collection
- Framework-mapped controls
- Auditor-ready export
Human approvals, kill switch & guardrails
Policy-as-code, RBAC, human-in-the-loop review queues, model lifecycle management, and a global kill switch for every autonomous system.
- Policy-as-code (git-backed)
- Human approval queues

Core capabilities
One integrated control plane for monitoring, governing, and securing every AI agent operating across your organization.
Full Visibility
Every API call, database query, and reasoning step is logged and inspected in real-time.
Policy Enforcement
Define granular RBAC and compliance rules that govern what your agents can and cannot do.
Threat Detection
Advanced heuristics identify malicious patterns and prompt injection before execution.
Hallucination Guard
Cross-check outputs against ground-truth datasets before they trigger external calls.
Audit & Compliance
Immutable trails ready for SOC2, HIPAA, GDPR and ISO 27001 audits — zero extra work.
API Monitoring
Real-time analytics on every outbound call, including latency, cost, and risk scoring.
Author guardrails in minutes, not sprints
Describe what your agents are allowed to do — and what they aren't — in plain English or declarative YAML. WatchTower compiles policies into runtime guards that intercept every tool call, vector query, and API request before it reaches production.
- Versioned, git-backed policy as code
- Environment-scoped rules (dev / staging / prod)
- Dry-run mode with full impact preview
- One-click rollback when something breaks
Traditional security stacks can't see autonomous AI
SIEMs collect logs after the fact. Firewalls inspect packets. EDR watches endpoints. None sit in an agent's decision path — none understand a tool call, a prompt injection, or a hallucinated action. WatchTower does.
Inline with every autonomous action
WatchTower sits between your agents and everything they touch — enforcing policy in flight, streaming evidence to the systems your security, compliance, and platform teams already run.

Agentic AI introduces a new class of enterprise risk: autonomous systems that plan, decide, and act across your tools at machine speed. This guide breaks down the top risks of agentic AI in 2026 — prompt injection, runaway agent loops, data exfiltration, unauthorized transactions, identity sprawl, supply-chain compromise, and regulatory exposure — and the concrete controls security, compliance, and platform teams need to mitigate each one.
AI Agent Identity: How to Manage and Secure Non-Human Identities in 2026
AI agent identity is the credential, scope, and behavioral fingerprint that lets an autonomous agent act on behalf of your business — and lets you prove who did what. This guide explains what AI agent identity is, why it is different from human IAM, how to issue and rotate agent credentials, how merchants verify agent identity at checkout, and the controls enterprises need to govern non-human identities in 2026.

Here is a 2025 playbook covering the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001, SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR, and PCI DSS — and the controls, evidence, and audit trails enterprises need to stay compliant as agents take real-world actions.
Answers for security and platform leaders
The questions we get on every first call. If yours isn't here, join the waitlist and ask in person.
What is WatchTower Agents?
WatchTower Agents is an enterprise AI governance and security platform. It gives security and platform teams real-time visibility into autonomous AI agents, enforces policy against every tool call, and produces the audit evidence required for SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR, and ISO 27001.
How is this different from a SIEM or an LLM gateway?
SIEMs collect events after the fact and LLM gateways focus on prompt routing and cost. WatchTower sits in the action path: it understands agent intent, evaluates each tool call against your policy, and can block or quarantine in sub-second time — then ships the evidence to your SIEM and GRC.
Which AI agent frameworks does WatchTower support?
WatchTower integrates with the major agent frameworks (LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, AutoGen, CrewAI) and any custom stack that exposes tool calls via OpenAI, Anthropic, or open-weight providers. SDKs are available for Python, TypeScript, and Go.
How does WatchTower defend against prompt injection?
Every input the model sees carries a provenance label. High-impact tool calls are refused when their justification mixes untrusted context. Combined with capability segmentation and egress policy, this neutralizes both direct and indirect prompt injection.
Can WatchTower help with SOC 2, HIPAA, or GDPR audits?
Yes. WatchTower produces immutable, signed audit trails of every agent action, exports policy-as-code change history, and surfaces human-review evidence for high-risk autonomous decisions — the artifacts auditors expect for CC6, CC7, and equivalent controls.
How long does deployment take?
Most teams are in production within two weeks. A 30-minute walkthrough is enough to scope the integration, and a typical proof of value runs three to five days against a real workload.
