Runtime Governance for AI Agents

Prevent AI agents from
taking actions based on
hidden instructions.

Arc sits between your agents and the model API, blocking instruction authority transfer from webpages, emails, documents, and tool output before actions execute.

Each message looks harmless

The attack is
the escalation.

A real attack rarely happens in one message. An attacker probes your agent across a conversation, gradually pushing boundaries until it does something harmful. Every other proxy sees each message in isolation and sees nothing wrong.

How it's different

Every other tool
has no memory of
what came before.

Bendex Arc tracks the full conversation. When a session starts drifting toward something dangerous, it catches the pattern even when no individual message triggered anything.

Bendex Arc Platform

Five layers of governance.
One integration.

One URL change routes your agent through the full Bendex Arc platform. Every feature activates automatically.

Enforcement layer
Arc Gate
OpenAI-compatible proxy. Source-aware authority enforcement, capability revocation, multi-turn session tracking, policy templates. One URL change to integrate. Native packages for LangChain and CrewAI.
Detection layer
Arc Sentry
Whitebox detection for self-hosted models. Reads the residual stream before generate() is called. Catches multi-turn attacks LLM Guard misses. Also free and open source.
Observability layer
Arc Replay
Full session replay and trace explorer. See exactly what happened, which layer fired, and why. Every blocked request, every capability revocation, every session trajectory.
Approval layer
Arc Approve
Human-in-the-loop approvals before high-risk tool calls. Pause before send_money, delete_file, send_email. Slack-native. Never auto-approves.
Memory layer
Arc Memory
Memory integrity monitoring across multi-turn sessions. Detects identity drift, contradictions, and forgotten facts using geometric behavioral tracking.

Benchmarks

Tested blind.
Results published.

All benchmarks run against datasets Bendex Arc had never seen. Full harness public and reproducible.

81%
CAIAT Cross-Agent Instruction Authority Transfer Benchmark
Arc Gate scored 81% on the first published benchmark for cross-agent prompt injection. LLM Guard scored 50%. Neither tool caught all Tier 3 semantic attacks. That's the honest result and the open research gap.
81%
Arc Gate
vs
50%
LLM Guard
0% false positives on benign controls for both tools. Arc Gate leads on role authority and semantic manipulation attacks.
81%
CAIAT Benchmark
Cross-Agent Instruction Authority Transfer. First published benchmark for multi-agent prompt injection. Arc Gate 81% vs LLM Guard 50%. 0% false positives on benign controls.
100%
AgentDojo v1
ETH Zurich, ICLR 2024. 54 agentic tool poisoning attacks across banking, Slack, travel, and workspace suites. 0% false positives on benign workflows.
99%
InjecAgent
University of Illinois, ACL 2024. 200 blind test cases covering direct harm and data exfiltration. Never seen these payloads before testing.
4/4
Multi-turn escalation
Session governance across fresh sessions, after probing, after legitimate history, and split injection across turns. 0 false positives.
