Persona · Security Architect

Design the program once. Run it everywhere.

One policy engine across SCA, IaC, DAST, AI agents and TPRM. One deployment shape that fits SaaS, private cloud, or sovereign. One reference architecture for the next five years.

What your week looks like today.

Your reference architecture has 11 tools. Six of them duplicate each other.

Each new compliance framework triggers a new tool buy because the existing ones can't produce the evidence.

Sovereign / air-gapped deployment is a yearly 'we'll get to it' ask from one business unit.

AI agents are in production; nobody asked you to architect their governance.

Policy is a Confluence page. Enforcement is per-tool. Drift is invisible.

You designed M&A diligence as 'hire a third party.' The third party is the bottleneck.

Benefits, by use case.

Line by line — what each use case does for your specific role.

Policy unification
One engine — Rego/CEL — across every scanner and runtime.

Deployment shapes
SaaS, private cloud, sovereign / air-gapped — same product.

Evidence model
One framework-mapped evidence store across the portfolio.

AI governance arch
MCP registry + capability scopes + AI-BOM as primitives.

Long-term resilience
Single vendor doesn't mean single point of failure: open standards (CycloneDX, SPDX, SLSA, OSV).

What you'll actually use.

AI-native and traditional, in the rhythm of your week.

AI-Native
  • Aegis
