Cortega
Cortega provides a centralized AI governance platform that protects enterprise AI agents and applications from prompt injection, social engineering, fraud, and data exfiltration. Its AI Border Gateway routes and inspects model and MCP tool traffic, enforcing corporate policy on every request while integrating with NVIDIA OpenShell for kernel-level sandbox enforcement. The platform also includes an endpoint guard for discovering and governing employee AI app usage on Windows and macOS devices.

Problem
Enterprises deploying AI agents and chatbots face fragmented logs, unclear accountability, and difficulty enforcing consistent security policies across multiple models and tools. Sensitive data can leak through prompts or tool calls, and manipulated agents can bypass their own guardrails, making compliance and risk management difficult.
Solution
Cortega provides a centralized AI governance platform with an AI Border Gateway (AIBG) that sits in front of models, MCP servers, and execution environments to enforce corporate policy on every request. The gateway routes traffic across providers, governs tool access, and applies layered guardrails including prompt injection, social engineering, fraud, and data exfiltration detection. It integrates with NVIDIA OpenShell to translate policy into OS-level kernel sandbox rules, dynamically tighten access as threats emerge, and unify audit logs. Administrators gain real-time observability, cost tracking, and tamper-evident audit trails spanning identities, models, tools, and outcomes.
Target Audience
Primary customers are enterprise security, compliance, and AI platform teams at regulated organizations (healthcare, finance, government) that need to govern AI model and agent usage while maintaining auditability and data sovereignty.
Features
- AI Border Gateway with model routing (least-cost, semantic, latency-based), fault tolerance, load balancing, and support for AI coding agents including Claude Code and Cursor
- MCP tool governance controlling which servers and specific tools each caller can access, with authorization checks on every tool invocation
- Cortega Guardrails detecting prompt injection, SQL injection, PII/PHI leakage, social engineering, fraud, and policy violations across requests and responses
- NVIDIA OpenShell integration enforcing kernel-level sandbox rules (Landlock, seccomp) and dynamically coordinating access restrictions as threat levels change
- Sensitive information redaction with built-in detectors, custom patterns, and policy integrations for masking or blocking data in prompts, responses, and tool arguments
- Tamper-evident, hash-chain-verified audit log recording every policy decision, admin change, and execution-boundary action
- Cortega Endpoint Guard for discovering and governing employee AI apps on Windows and macOS, with local on-device guardrails and MDM enrollment options
- Multi-tenancy for MSPs, air-gapped deployment, SSO/RBAC, and FHIR-style enterprise integrations for regulated workloads
