Deep dives into AI agent security, authorization architecture, and the engineering behind PermitNetworks.
Why AI Agents Need Authorization, Not Just Authentication
Authentication confirms identity. Authorization controls behavior. As AI agents gain autonomy, the gap between who they are and what they can do becomes a critical attack surface. Here's why traditional auth falls short.
How We Achieve Sub-Millisecond Authorization at Scale
A deep dive into our Rust-powered policy engine, edge deployment strategy, and the data structures that let us evaluate complex authorization policies in under 1ms.
The $2.3M Problem: AI Agent Security Incidents in 2025
We analyzed 47 publicly disclosed AI agent security incidents from 2025. The patterns are clear: over-permissioned agents, missing spending limits, and zero audit trails are the root causes.
Introducing Scope Locking for AI Agents
Scope Locking is a new authorization primitive that dynamically restricts an agent's permissions based on the task context. Learn how it works and why it changes the game for agent security.
