Security Schema & Integration Map
Ground-Truth Enforcement at the OS Level
The Enforcement Hierarchy
Sevorix secures autonomous agents by moving the securityboundary from the User Space (where agents can be compromised orhallucinate) into the Kernel Space (where enforcement is absolute).
- User Space (Application Layer): Where the AI Agent (Python, Node.js, Go) operates and where probabilistic reasoning occurs.
- The Sevorix Bridge: A high-performance interface that bridges agent behavior to kernel enforcement via eBPF.
- Kernel Space (Ring-0): The OS kernel where Sevorix executes binary allow/deny logic for every critical system resource.
The eBPF Circuit Breaker Architecture
Unlike traditional proxies that "listen" totraffic, Sevorix uses eBPF (Extended Berkeley Packet Filter) tointercept the execution of system commands before they are completed.
- Runtime Interception: Sevorix attaches security hooks directly to the kernel's execution path.
- Ground-Truth Visibility: We do not rely on the agent's reported "intent"; we monitor the actual system calls (syscalls) generated by the process.
- Binary Enforcement: If a system call violates the defined security policy, the kernel trips the "circuit breaker" and terminates the request instantly.
Sevorix provides deterministic protection across the three primary attack vectors used by autonomous agents:
System Call
Enforcement Action
Protective Result
connect()
Intercepts outbound network requests at the kernel level.
Prevents data exfiltration to unauthorized domains or IP addresses.
open()
Monitors file access attempts for sensitive local data.
Blocks the agent from reading secrets, credentials, or system configurations.
execve()
Validates the execution of new processes or shell commands.
Prevents "Rogue Agent" behavior, such as unauthorized script execution.
To maintain zero-latency validation, Sevorix utilizes a specialized Small Language Model (SLM) that operates locally on the node.
Socket Path: unix:///var/run/sevorix/slm.sock
Mechanism: When the eBPF hook intercepts a syscall, it passes the context to the local SLM via this UNIX socket for intent validation.
Zero-Latency Design: Because this communication happens locally on-disk, it eliminates the 400ms "latency tax" associated with calling external cloud security APIs.
Data Sovereignty: No agent behavior data or telemetry leaves your secure infrastructure for the purpose of security validation.
Because Sevorix lives in the kernel, it remains effective even if the agent is fully compromised. The agent cannot "unmount" the kernel hooks, modify the HTTPS_PROXY to bypass them, or kill the observer process to gain unrestricted access.
