Project Cicada

Introduction

Project Cicada is an enterprise-grade runtime security system. It creates isolated environments for executing AI-generated applications, enforcing strict runtime policies and monitoring execution behaviors.

The Problem

Deploying software generated by autonomous AI agents directly onto enterprise production systems exposes organizations to operational and security failures. AI-generated code can exhibit unexpected behaviors, perform unauthorized API calls, exhaust hardware resources, or write unauthorized data to system storage, leading to system outages or compliance violations.

The Solution

Project Cicada intercepts code execution requests and routes them to a highly controlled container sandbox. Using real-time monitoring and active system-call inspection, Cicada blocks any actions that violate predefined organizational safety profiles, containing risks while logging full audit details for engineering reviews.

Core Features

• Secure Sandbox Execution: Establishes complete process and resource containerization for active applications.
• Runtime Performance Monitoring: Collects processor, network, and storage usage logs in real time.
• Policy Enforcement Engine: Restricts access to host networks, databases, or local file trees according to granular security rules.
• System-Call Auditing: Logs all process actions to prevent memory injection and escalation attacks.
• Developer Integrations: Integrates with deployment platforms via secure APIs for continuous protection.
