Where it runs
In your cloud, on your keys, including isolated networks. ConteXengine is deployed above every tool you already own, replacing none, with no AI model on the live decision path. Certain technology is the subject of pending United States patent applications.
Give every identity exactly the authority its risk earns. Take it back the instant that risk changes. Prove both.
Runs in your environment
Deployed inside your boundary, including isolated networks. Your data stays where it is.
No AI in the decision path
Models help us build and tune. Every live verdict is deterministic and replayable.
Built and run with you
A build partner connects your estate, then a 24×7 global command center runs it with you.
Patent pending
A new approach to runtime authorization for the agentic enterprise.
