Your team is already building autonomous workflows. Ephos lets you secure them without exposing raw API credentials to agents, tools, or developer environments by using zero-knowledge architecture, scoped tokens, and instant revocation.
* Ephos Enclaves refer to our stateless V8 isolate architecture, providing strict process-level sandboxing and momentary memory lifetimes. They do not utilize hardware-level TEEs (e.g. Intel SGX).
Developers using Cursor, Claude, or any AI agent need credentials to get things done. Without a governed layer, they improvise — and improvised credential sharing is a breach waiting to happen.
A developer pastes an OpenAI key into a Cursor rule or MCP config. It doesn't expire. It's not scoped. You don't know it's there until something goes wrong.
When an agent makes an API call with your credentials, there's no record anywhere you control. You find out something went wrong after the fact, with nothing to investigate.
Revoking a shared raw key means rotating it everywhere it lives — every developer's machine, every config file, every script. So you delay it. Then delay it again.
This isn't a hypothetical. It's the default behavior of every AI agent workflow that doesn't have a governed credential layer. Ephos adds that layer without slowing anyone down.
Built for teams that are already using AI tooling and need visibility and control — without slowing anyone down.
Issue one token per agent, per developer, per workflow. Each one is scoped to specific services and domains. If a token leaks, revoke it in one click — your underlying credentials are untouched.
A developer leaves. An agent behaves unexpectedly. A token ends up in a repo. Revoke it immediately without touching anything else. No credential rotation. No downtime.
Every gateway request is logged out-of-band — no latency impact, no gaps. Execution telemetry attributes every delegated request to a specific agent, developer, or workflow identity.
Instantly freeze or unfreeze delegated identities, revoke execution access, and contain compromised agent workflows across the organization.
Legacy secret managers were designed to inject credentials into developer environments. Ephos is designed for the case where the credential consumer is autonomous — and you don't fully trust it.

Ephos assumes your agents will be compromised. The architecture is designed so that when they are, the blast radius is contained.
