Cerberus blocks the lethal trifecta at the tool boundary — see the 525-run evidence set.

Where downtime is a safety event, autonomy has to be provably bounded

Operators adopting AI for planning, maintenance and response need the assurance that an autonomous system cannot act outside the envelope it was given.

The regulator asks what the system is permitted to do

Critical infrastructure oversight is built around demonstrable boundaries and change control. An agent that decides its own next step is difficult to describe in those terms unless the boundary is enforced in the runtime.

  1. Assurance by policy is not assuranceA documented restriction that nothing enforces will not survive an audit of an autonomous system.
  2. IT and OT converge at the assistantOperational context reaches AI tooling through the corporate side, outside the OT control set.
  3. Evidence has to be contemporaneousReconstructing what an agent did after the fact is far harder than recording it as it happens.

With Odingard, you can

Enforce the envelope in the runtime

Cerberus blocks guarded outbound calls when the conditions for an unsafe action are met, and fails closed if its own pipeline is unavailable.

Test the boundary adversarially

Argus red-teams the agent estate so the failure mode is found in an exercise rather than in operations.

Produce contemporaneous evidence

Verdicts and control results are recorded as they happen, write-once, with digests an auditor can verify.

Keep procedures current

Policy and SOP authoring keeps operating procedures versioned and acknowledged rather than circulating as attachments.

Warden defines the envelope with your operations team, red-teams it, and deploys the runtime that enforces it.

Bound the autonomy before you extend it

A boundary that is enforced in the runtime is something you can show an auditor. A policy document is not.
