Endpoint security for the agentic era

Govern everything your endpoints install.

Traditional endpoint protection was built for executables. Today's endpoints run extensions, packages, MCPs, and models — invisible and unmanaged. Cernexa discovers them all, scores them with Crucible, and lets you enforce policy in one click.

01 — The blind spot

Your EDR sees binaries.
Your endpoints run everything else.

Browsers, IDEs, and package managers install software that never touches your endpoint agent. AI coding agents are the ultimate insiders — full data and system access, invisible, operating at machine speed. None of it shows up in EDR or MDM.

Browser extensions

Chrome, Edge, Brave — silent permission creep.

Packages

npm, PyPI, Homebrew — post-install scripts.

IDE extensions

VS Code, Cursor — marketplace worms.

MCP servers

Tool access for agents — broad egress.

AI models

Local + remote — unknown provenance.

02 — The Crucible engine

Every artifact, scored 0–100 — explainably.

Not just CVEs and publisher names. Crucible judges software by what its code actually does, and re-scores it the moment anything changes.

01

Marketplace scan

Continuously inventory every marketplace artifact.

02

Publisher intel

Cross-marketplace reputation and ownership history.

03

Code analysis

Promised vs. actual behavior; secrets and CVEs.

04

Dynamic analysis

Sandbox and observe runtime behavior.

05

Risk scoring

Weighted, explainable 0–100 verdict.

06

Continuous re-score

Scores follow every version and ownership change.

03 — The platform

Discover. Score. Govern.

One control plane for every self-provisioned artifact across your fleet — not a scanner, a closed loop.

Discovery

A live inventory of everything installed.

Every extension, package, MCP, and model across your fleet — with risk status, publisher, and install footprint. Searchable, filterable, always current.

  • Real endpoint agent (macOS shipped; Windows + Linux next)
  • VS Code, Cursor, Chrome, npm, Homebrew, MCP inventory
  • Per-artifact Crucible report with itemized signals

Preventive policy + governance

Auto-approve what's safe. Block what isn't.

Apply rules by user, group, risk level, or software type — from a library of presets or your own. Risky finds route to a one-click Easy-Allow queue. Every action audit-logged.

  • Closed-loop: approve · block · remediate org-wide
  • Guardrails: scan-first, update cooldown, credential limits
  • Low developer friction by design

04 — Built for the agentic era

AI agents are the new insider.

They install their own tools, run their own packages, and reach for credentials and the filesystem — invisibly, at machine speed. Cernexa governs what agents (and the developers running them) bring onto your endpoints, before it executes.
