Summary

Hide ▲

A new AI Trust Layer named Ceros, developed by Beyond Identity, has been introduced to provide real-time visibility, runtime policy enforcement, and cryptographic audit trails for Anthropic’s Claude Code autonomous coding agent. Ceros operates directly on developers’ local machines, capturing device context, process ancestry, tool invocations, and MCP server interactions before any network-layer security tool can detect activity. The solution addresses a critical security gap where Claude Code operates with inherited developer permissions and executes actions autonomously, leaving no audit trail in existing enterprise security infrastructures.

    Ceros AI Trust Layer launched to monitor and govern Anthropic’s Claude Code

    Beyond Identity released Ceros, an AI Trust Layer that installs on developer machines to provide real-time visibility, runtime policy enforcement, and immutable audit trails for Anthropic’s Claude Code autonomous coding agent. Ceros captures device posture, process ancestry, tool invocations, and MCP server interactions before execution, enabling security teams to detect, control, and audit agent behavior that previously evaded traditional security tooling.

Information Snippets

  • Claude Code, Anthropic’s AI coding agent, operates autonomously on developer machines with inherited user permissions, executing shell commands, reading files, calling external APIs, and connecting to third-party MCP servers without generating audit trails visible to traditional enterprise security tools.

  • Ceros captures device context in under 250 milliseconds, including OS, kernel version, disk encryption status, Secure Boot state, endpoint protection status, and full process ancestry with binary hashes of all executables in the chain, tied to a verified human identity via Beyond Identity’s platform.

  • Ceros surfaces detailed records of Claude Code sessions through a Conversations view, which logs developer-agent interactions and surfaces tool calls such as shell commands (e.g., bash ls -la) and MCP server interactions, revealing previously invisible local machine activity.
