Bartholomew Enterprise AI Security Platform
The Sub-Millisecond AI Trajectory Observability, Threat Interception & Cryptographic Compliance Daemon.
Observes autonomous AI agent reasoning loops inline, intercepts prompt injections and credential leaks in real time (1.44 μs), and issues tamper-evident SHA-256 cryptographic attestation proofs for enterprise CISO governance.
Autonomous Agents Are Executing: CISOs Are Completely Blind
Traditional APMs check server status codes (HTTP 200 OK) but have zero visibility inside multi-turn LLM reasoning flows. Prompt injections, unmasked API key leaks, and runaway billing loops happen completely undetected inside agent thought streams.
1. Unmasked Credential Leaks
Agents leak raw OpenAI (sk-proj-*), GitHub PATs (ghp_*), and AWS keys in thought logs and external webhooks.
2. Runaway Billing Loops
Redundant tool recursion traps execute identical queries 8× back-to-back, causing $10,000/hr billing spikes.
3. Indirect Prompt Injections
Adversarial prompt overrides ("you are now DAN") hijack tool parameters to execute unauthorized database drops.
Sub-Microsecond Inline Line Scanner & Real-Time OWASP Kill-Switch
Operating as a native Go daemon, Bartholomew inspects every trajectory step in 1.44 µs before packets reach the LLM model or external APIs.
1.44 μs Go Core
Zero-inference regex engine executing 11,647,002 audits/sec with sub-microsecond latency.
Inline Redaction
Scrubs secret keys (`sk-proj`, `ghp`, `AKIA`) and PII in real time without stopping execution.
OWASP Kill-Switch
Enforces all 10 OWASP LLM risk categories with a 4-tier escalation model (Scrub → Log → Sandbox → Circuit Break).
SHA-256 Attestation
Generates chained cryptographic proofs verifiable with standard `sha256sum` for SOC2 & HIPAA audits.
Pre-Deploy Campaign Fuzzer & Multi-Step Reasoning Lineage
Pre-Deploy 95-Vector Fuzzer
Fuzzes agent code with 95 OWASP attack vectors across 7 vulnerability classes before deployment.
Stateful Tool Graph Parsing
Monitors tool call sequences (e.g. read_file → query_db → write_file) to catch multi-step parameter manipulation.
Zero-Inference Architecture: Plugs Into Any Agent Stack
Python SDK & Proxy
Wraps agent runtimes via @guard() decorator or HTTP reverse proxy in 3 lines of code.
Air-Gap Ready
Zero external API calls. Single Go binary deployment for sovereign SCIF / NSA IL5 defense enclaves.
SIEM Connectors
Streams JSON alerts to Splunk, Elastic, Datadog HEC, and PagerDuty with SHA-256 proof headers.
Autonomous Zero-Day Containment (Zero CVE Reliance)
Legacy firewalls rely on pre-existing CVE signatures failing on novel AI attacks. Bartholomew provides real-time Autonomous Zero-Day Containment: analyzing agent thought streams and tool parameters in 1.44 µs to isolate novel, unmapped prompt attacks before public signatures exist.
1. Shannon Entropy Anomaly Scoring
Evaluates thought log character distribution & Shannon entropy in 1.44 μs, detecting obfuscated zero-day prompt injections instantly without prior rules.
2. SCIF Read-Only Enclave Isolation
Restricts suspicious or unverified tool parameters (e.g. db_drop, file_write) into zero-trust read-only memory sandboxes with zero write permissions.
3. Automated Containment Policy Synthesis
Synthesizes new OWASP containment rules automatically upon detecting novel trajectory anomalies, hardening nodes instantly without manual rule drafting.

Founding Credibility & Vulnerability Research
Vulnerability Research Origin
Bartholomew emerged from vulnerability research across bug bounty platforms including Immunefi, Google Bug Hunters, Bugcrowd, and public GitHub security trackers. Uncovering unmasked secret leaks and unmonitored tool loop traps in autonomous agents led directly to building Bartholomew.
Founder Imperative
"I built Bartholomew because autonomous AI agents are rapidly evolving from conversational interfaces into mission-critical enterprise infrastructure. Autonomous reasoning loops require a dedicated paradigm of real-time security one designed specifically for multi-step agent trajectories."
