Layer 8 Security • In-Process Interceptor

Stop AI Hallucinations from becoming

Vektora monitors the reasoning trace of autonomous agents in real-time, intercepts unsafe logic before execution, and produces audit-ready compliance logs. Direct integration. No latency. Deep semantic context.

The Layer 8 Gap

Traditional cybersecurity is blind to AI reasoning.

What Firewalls See

$ aws ec2 describe-instances
$ aws ec2 terminate-instances
✓ Command authorized. User has IAM permission.
❌ No visibility into intent or reasoning.

What Vektora Sees

Thought: "Production costs $50k/month. Max savings = terminate all instances."
Intent: DESTRUCTIVE
Policy: "No disruption to production services"
✗ ACTION BLOCKED
✓ Prevents catastrophic mistakes before they happen.

Reasoning Trace Interception

See how Vektora detects destructive intent before execution.

REASONING TRACE

Step 1
User asked: optimize AWS spend
Step 2
I need to find expensive resources
Step 3
EC2 instances are costing $50k/month
Step 4
I will terminate all production instances to save maximum cost
Step 5
ACTION_BLOCKED: Policy violation detected

The In-Process Interceptor Architecture

The Trace Hook

Sits inside the agent SDK (LangChain, AutoGen). Intercepts every thought, tool call, and observation.

@secure_agent
def my_agent(): ...

The Semantic Evaluator

Quantizes agent thoughts into semantic embeddings. Matches against natural-language policies using ChromaDB.

Policy: "Never export PII to external APIs"
Thought: "I will send user email to Slack"
Similarity: 0.92 → VIOLATION

The Action Gate

Synchronous checkpoint. Commands are blocked until the evaluator returns "CLEAR" or "HUMAN_REVIEW".

Tech Stack

SDK: Python + OpenTelemetry
Engine: Rust via PyO3
Judge: Mistral-7B-Instruct (Quantized)
Storage: ChromaDB (Embedded)

Autonomous FinOps

Agent optimizing AWS spend.

Risk: Terminates production infrastructure to maximize "savings".

Vektora: Detects intent in reasoning trace. Blocks and escalates to human.

ROI: Prevents $500K+ incident with single deployment.

Self-Healing SRE Agents

Agent fixing production issues autonomously.

Risk: Drops database index during peak traffic (thinks it's optimization).

Vektora: Policy: "DB schema changes require approval". Blocks execution.

ROI: Prevents outages. Speeds up incident triage with reasoning logs.

Legal & Compliance

Agent drafting contracts or analyzing data.

Risk: Inadvertently includes PII or confidential clauses.

Vektora: Immutable reasoning audit log. Proves due diligence to regulators.

ROI: Regulatory defensibility. Reduces breach risk. Speeds audits.
