Runtime control plane for enterprise AI agents — see, govern, and stop agent actions in real time
Alterion Draco is an agentless runtime control plane that gives enterprise security, risk, and compliance leaders real-time visibility and enforced governance over AI agents running across clouds, vendors, and endpoints. Launched July 16, 2026, it is aimed at CISOs, CIOs, and platform teams who have agents in production but no way to see or stop what those agents are doing.

Key Features
- ✓EXPLORE — agent discovery and inventory
Discovers and inventories every agent (shadow, SaaS, endpoint, custom) without code changes and tracks every prompt, tool call, and token spend while profiling runtime behavior automatically.
- ✓PROTECT — runtime threat controls
Delivers real-time threat detection with low-latency built-in controls for agent threats and rogue behavior, including guardrails covering the OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications.
- ✓COMPLY — continuous compliance evidence
Monitors compliance posture against SOC 2, ISO 42001, and NIST AI RMF and generates audit-ready evidence packages on demand.
- ✓Helix runtime intelligence layer
Models agent behavior and intent from observed prompts, actions, and payloads rather than relying on logs and metrics alone.
- ✓Programmable runtime guardrails
Enforces policy before an agent performs a high-risk action such as deleting data or making production changes.
- ✓Agentless, vendor-agnostic deployment
Requires no agent code changes or SDK integrations and works across AI gateways, LLM vendors, frameworks, and infrastructure, including agents added later.
Use Cases
- •Shadow agent discovery
Inventory every agent running across clouds, SaaS apps, and endpoints — including ones no central team provisioned.
- •Runtime policy enforcement
Intercept and stop destructive or out-of-policy agent actions before they touch production systems or sensitive data.
- •AI regulatory audit readiness
Close the control gap against SOC 2, ISO 42001, and the EU AI Act with continuously collected runtime evidence.
Ideal For
Best For
- ✓Discovering shadow and unmanaged AI agents across an enterprise estate
- ✓Blocking high-risk agent actions such as data deletion or production changes at runtime
- ✓Producing audit-ready evidence for SOC 2, ISO 42001, NIST AI RMF, and EU AI Act reviews
Market Analysis
Pros
- ✓Agentless deployment avoids the integration work most agent-governance tools require
- ✓Runtime enforcement can block destructive actions rather than only reporting them after the fact
- ✓Compliance mapping to SOC 2, ISO 42001, NIST AI RMF, and the EU AI Act is built in
Cons
- ✗Launched July 16, 2026, so there is little independent long-run production evidence yet
- ✗No public pricing and no named reference customers
- ✗Funding and investor backing are not disclosed
