Adept Kawas
Real-Time AI Cybersecurity Proxy & Prompt Firewall
Sub-15ms Real-Time Token Inspection & Firewall Architecture
Adept Kawas is the enterprise real-time security proxy, prompt injection firewall, and adversarial threat defense platform designed to shield foundation models, RAG vector stores, and autonomous agent swarms.
Operating inline between users, ingestion channels, and inference endpoints, Kawas inspects input tokens, retrieved knowledge chunks, and model responses in sub-15 milliseconds, detecting and neutralizing prompt injections, jailbreaks, data exfiltration, and unauthorized tool invocations.
Coupled with Adept’s continuous adversarial red-teaming intelligence, Kawas provides unbreakable defense-in-depth against emerging AI-specific attack vectors without impacting end-user latency or system fluidity.
How Kawas Neutralizes Exploits
Real-Time Inline Prompt Firewall
Inspects raw token streams and semantic embeddings in sub-15ms to neutralize direct jailbreaks, cognitive role-play exploits, and multilingual cipher bypasses.
Indirect Prompt Injection Neutralizer
Scans ingested documents, scraped web data, and external API responses before RAG indexing, preventing poisoned documents from hijacking agent reasoning.
Cryptographic Tool Authorization Boundary
Enforces strict permission scopes, schema invariants, and idempotency guarantees before agent function calls can reach internal databases or financial APIs.
Continuous Adversarial Threat Feeds
Dynamic security rule updates generated from Adept’s red-team laboratory, protecting systems against zero-day jailbreaks before public disclosure.
Defense-in-Depth for Compound AI Workloads
Sub-15ms Semantic Anomaly Proxy
High-performance Rust-based proxy architecture that evaluates token embeddings and semantic intent without adding perceptible round-trip latency.
RAG Knowledge Base & Chunk Sanitizer
Active document hygiene engine that analyzes PDFs, spreadsheets, and HTML chunks at ingestion time for hidden adversarial instructions.
Data Exfiltration & PII Masking Engine
Bidirectional inspection that intercepts model output tokens to prevent leaking system prompts, proprietary training data, or confidential customer records.
Automated Fuzzing & Red-Teaming Integration
Seamless integration with Adept’s red-teaming suite, allowing continuous automated security audits that test Kawas defensive thresholds against 100k+ attack vectors.
Zero-Trust High-Performance Proxy Architecture
Kawas is built in systems-level Rust for deterministic memory safety and microsecond-level execution, capable of handling tens of thousands of concurrent inference streams with zero jitter.
