Who this is for

Early-stage AI startups needing a secure runtime

If your agents work with sensitive data or sell into regulated industries, you need isolation, guardrails, egress controls, and an audit trail from day one — not after your first compliance review.

What you get

Not just credits — a full security runtime

Sandbox compute is table stakes. The program includes the entire Declaw security pipeline: isolation, inspection, redaction, blocking, and audit — running inside every sandbox.

$10,000 in Declaw credits

Covers compute and guardrails inference. Build without worrying about cost for the first 6 months.

Firecracker microVM sandbox isolation

Every agent execution runs in a hardware-isolated microVM. ~40ms boot, configurable CPU/memory/disk.

TLS-intercepting security proxy

A transparent proxy runs inside every sandbox. All outbound traffic is decrypted, inspected, and logged before it leaves the VM.

PII detection + redaction with rehydration

SSNs, credit cards, emails, phone numbers, API keys — detected and redacted at the boundary. Original values recoverable via rehydration when authorized.

Prompt injection defense

Catches injection attempts in both inbound prompts and outbound model responses. Blocks before damage is done.

Per-domain egress policy

L3/L4 IP filtering + L7 domain/SNI inspection. Control exactly which external services your agent can reach, per-sandbox.

Agent-attributed audit logs

Every intercepted request, redaction event, and block is logged with full context. Configurable retention, exportable.

Python + TypeScript SDKs

First-class SDK support for both languages. Drop-in integration — your agent doesn't need code changes.
