SENTINEL: The Only Production-Ready Open-Source AI Security Gateway (170 Engines)

#opensource #ai #security #python

📌 This post is now archived. For the latest updates on SENTINEL, see the new consolidated article:
SENTINEL Platform — Complete AI Security Toolkit (2026 Update Log)

## TL;DR

SENTINEL is the only open-source AI security platform with a production-grade Go gateway. While competitors offer Python-only demos with 50-200ms latency, we deliver:

  • ⚡ <10ms latency (Go + Python hybrid)
  • 🛡️ 170 detection engines (49 are unique research inventions)
  • 🧬 Prior art protection — no one can patent our innovations
  • 🐉 39K+ attack payloads for red teaming

🤔 The Problem

Current AI security solutions are either:

  • Enterprise-only (Cisco AI Defense, Robust Intelligence)
  • Python demos (50-200ms latency, no DDoS protection)
  • Incomplete (focus on one attack type)

None offer a production-ready gateway with sub-10ms latency.

💡 The Solution: SENTINEL

Production Gateway (Industry First) 

Client → [Go Gateway] → gRPC → [Python Brain] → 170 Engines
              ↓                        ↓

Bio-Intelligence™ 8 AIS, Echo State Networks, Swarm
Agentic Defense™ 15 Memory Shield, Tool Guardian, RAG
Protocol Security 5 MCP, A2A, NHI Identity
Deep Learning 9 Activation Steering, Hidden States
+ 13 more categories 113 Classic, VLM, Proactive, etc.

🧬 49 Unique Technologies (Defensive Publication)

By open-sourcing first, we created prior art that prevents patents:

Strange Math™

  • Sheaf Coherence — Multi-turn attack detection via category theory
  • Hyperbolic Geometry — Privilege escalation in Poincaré space
  • TDA Enhanced — Topological fingerprinting

Bio-Intelligence™

  • AIS (Clonal Selection) — Immune system-inspired detection
  • Swarm Defense — Distributed multi-agent protection

Agentic Defense™

  • Agent Memory Shield — Short/long-term memory protection
  • Chain-of-Thought Guardian — Reasoning chain security
