Sotero

Platform

One control plane for every agent you run

Argus gives every agent a verified identity, issues short-lived credentials scoped to the task at hand, and checks each action against policy before it runs — with a complete record of what was decided and why.

Identity & Governance

Know who is acting

A central directory of every agent allowed to act — its lifecycle state, the tools it may reach for, who it can delegate to, and which version is running. Identity you can point to, not infer.

Verified Agent Identity

Every agent is registered before it can act, with a cryptographic key, a lifecycle state, and an explicit scope of tools. Unregistered agents don't get credentials.

Delegation Chains

When one agent hands work to another, the chain is recorded and carried through the decision. You can always answer who ultimately asked for an action.

Policy as Code

Policies are authored, versioned, and reviewed like any other code — every change tracked, every version rollable back, with an example library to start from.

Sensitivity-Aware Access

Access decisions account for how sensitive the data is and how trusted the agent is, rather than treating every resource as interchangeable.

Works With Your IAM

Connects to the identity provider you already run — Okta, Entra ID, or PingOne — and enriches decisions with those attributes at issuance time.

Enforcement

Gate the action

Ephemeral, context-aware credentials issued per action and expiring on their own. No standing privileges to inherit, borrow, or leave behind — zero-trust enforcement at the moment of the call.

Ephemeral Credentials

Credentials are minted per request, scoped to the specific resources and operation, and expire in minutes. Nothing long-lived to steal or over-share.

Local Evaluation

Policy is evaluated in your own environment against a cached bundle — no live network call in the decision path, and identical behaviour across every deployment.

Zero

Standing privileges — every credential is scoped to one action and expires on its own

Analytics

Catch what a single check can’t

Consumes signals from the other three pillars to catch what no single check sees on its own — privilege creep, token replay, quiet exfiltration — and scores risk in real time.

Multi-Factor Risk Scoring

Real-time risk calculated from sequence novelty, access sensitivity, and environment drift — so unusual behaviour is caught even when each step looks permitted.

Automated Risk Mitigation

Triggers a response the moment risk crosses the line — revoking credentials or switching an agent into human-in-the-loop mode without waiting on a person.

Immutable Audit Trail

An append-only record of every policy decision and agent action, with the reason and matched rule attached — built for compliance review, not just debugging.

How it works

Register. Verify. Enforce.

01

Register

Agents are registered with an identity, a lifecycle state, and a scope of tools they're permitted to use. Policies are authored against those identities and versioned in Git.

02

Verify

When an agent goes to act, the runtime resolves its identity, confirms it's still in a valid lifecycle state, and evaluates the request against policy — locally, before anything runs.

03

Enforce

Allowed actions get a short-lived credential scoped to that request alone. Denied actions never execute. Either way, the decision and its reason are written to the audit trail.
