Sevorix vs. Status Quo
Stop playing whack-a-mole with probabilistic security. Secure the ground truth.
Traditional security tools were designed for human-led traffic and static code. They are "outside-in" solutions. Sevorix is an "inside-out" infrastructure play that moves the security boundary from the application layer to the OS kernel.

Most "AI Firewalls" are just another LLM asking the agent to behave.
The Status Quo: You write a system prompt telling the agent "don't exfiltrate data."
The Failure: Prompt injection and semantic jailbreaks can bypass these instructions. You are asking a probabilistic system to police itself.
The Sevorix Win: We don't care what the agent "intends." If the code attempts an unauthorized connect() at the kernel level, the circuit breaker trips. Period.
Enterprise gateways look for malicious patterns in inbound web traffic.
The Status Quo: You block known malicious IPs at the edge.
The Failure: These tools are blind to local system calls. If an agent hallucinates a path to your local .ssh/ folder or tries to execute a rogue binary, the perimeter gateway never sees the attempt.
The Sevorix Win: We watch the machine behavior. By monitoring open() and execve() syscalls, we block local data theft before it ever reaches the network.
Tools like Pipelock provide excellent content scanning but rely on the agent being "forced" to use the proxy.
The Status Quo: You set a HTTPS_PROXY environment variable.
The Failure: Proxies can be bypassed if an agent modifies its own environment or uses non-standard protocols. Additionally, every request takes a 200–400ms latency hit.
The Sevorix Win: Sevorix utilizes local UNIX sockets (unix:///var/run/sevorix/slm.sock) and eBPF hooks to enforce security at the source. No environment variables to change, no latency hops, and no bypass surface.
