Solutions / Agent deviation
Is this agent still acting as intended?
A permitted action can become dangerous when an agent changes scope, sequence, or behavior. Cerberus compares current activity with the agent's established history to surface meaningful deviation.

No bad payload
Deviation often consists entirely of valid actions against permitted endpoints.
Static rules miss context
A fixed threshold cannot know whether an action is normal for this particular agent.
Drift hides in sequence
The change appears across scope and order, not in one request.
How it works
Deviation measured against the agent.
Intent-Based Analysis™ evaluates what the agent is doing now against the behavioral history attached to that actor.
Coverage
What Cerberus catches here.
Scope deviation
An agent begins reaching application data or actions outside its established pattern.
Sequence deviation
A familiar workflow changes order or introduces unexpected steps.
Cadence deviation
The timing or repetition of activity moves outside the agent's normal behavior.
Cross-session drift
Gradual behavior changes that become visible across the agent's longer history.
Unusual data access
Reads that are valid individually but inconsistent with the agent's prior use.
Unexpected application paths
Movement into endpoints the agent has not historically needed.
FAQ
Common questions
What is agent deviation?
Agent deviation is a meaningful change from an agent's established behavior, such as broader data access, a different action sequence, or unusual repetition. The actions may remain valid individually even when the pattern is risky.
How is deviation different from a static policy violation?
A static policy asks whether an action is always forbidden. Deviation asks whether an action or sequence is inconsistent with this agent's own observed history, which adds context to activity that a fixed rule permits.
