Use cases

Where an AI agent firewall pays for itself

Any agent that can share personal data, move money or change access is a target. Here is how teams in different functions and industries use the firewall.

Finance and payroll

A caller sounding like the controller asks the payroll agent to change a direct-deposit account before Friday’s run.

Verify before use on Change bank details: word of the day plus authenticator code
Voice check flags the synthetic voice
Pressure-tactics check quotes “before Friday” and “skip the usual checks”
Bank changes from abroad blocked by a custom rule

HR and people teams

An HR assistant answers questions about pay, leave and benefits for thousands of employees.

Each employee verifies before personal records are shared
Sensitive-record limits stop one person pulling many colleagues’ records
Unusual-request alerts catch a stolen login asking for things it never asked before

Contact centers and customer support

A support voice agent can look up accounts and reset access for callers.

Caller ID check on every inbound call
Synthetic-voice scoring on every utterance
Authenticator code typed on the keypad, never heard by the AI
Agent hands off to a person when a voice is blocked

IT help desk

Attackers call the help desk claiming to be an executive locked out before a board meeting.

Duress word lets a coerced employee signal for help silently
Approve on your phone for password and MFA resets
Pressure tactics and impersonation flagged before the reset tool runs

Healthcare and regulated data

An agent reads patient or member records to answer questions.

Records count only from tools and tables your team marked sensitive
Per-conversation and daily caps with approval at the limit
Answers to verification never reach the model, logs or transcripts
Alerts and scores deleted after 30 days

Public sector

A resident-facing assistant answers questions and can open service requests and look up cases.

Prompt injection in uploaded documents and web pages flagged
Allowed sites and new email domains require approval
Monitor mode to evaluate on real traffic before enforcing

Product and engineering teams

You run your own chat app or agent framework outside Autessa.

Call the inspect API at each phase of each turn
Named policies per application
Run the attack simulator against a named policy in CI or before launch

Protect the agent that worries you most first.

Give it a custom policy, run the attack simulator against it, and watch it in Monitor for a week.
