The Risk

AI Agents Are Vulnerable

As AI agents gain access to sensitive data and systems, they become prime targets. Traditional security tools weren't built for this threat model.

Without Stronghold

  • ×Prompts hijacked by injection attacks
  • ×API keys and secrets leak through model outputs
  • ×No visibility into agent network traffic
  • ×Threats bypass your application layer undetected

With Stronghold

  • Every request scanned before reaching your models
  • 4-layer defense blocks injection attacks
  • Credentials and secrets caught in real time
  • Full visibility into all agent traffic
Stronghold Protects

Prompt Injection Defense

Malicious instructions embedded in user inputs get caught by 4-layer scanning before they can hijack your agent’s behavior.

Stronghold Protects

Credential Leak Prevention

API keys, passwords, and secrets in LLM outputs are detected and blocked before they ever leave your system.

Easy Integration

Plug & Play for Any Agent

Drop Stronghold into your existing agent setup with zero code changes. Network-level interception works with any framework or model provider.

Powered by x402

Autonomous Agent Payments

Your agent pays per scan automatically via its local wallet. No subscriptions, no API keys to manage, no human in the loop for billing.

How It Works

Transparent Protection

Install once. Protect everything. Stronghold operates at the network level, so it works with any AI agent without code changes.

01

Install

One command setup with automatic OS keyring configuration. Your wallet is created locally—private keys never leave your device.

$ curl -fsSL https://getstronghold.xyz/install.sh | sh
02

Enable

Transparent proxy intercepts all HTTP/HTTPS traffic at the network level. Works system-wide, no code changes needed.

$ sudo stronghold enable
03

Verify

Confirm your setup is running properly. Once enabled, Stronghold automatically scans every request and response—you’re protected.

$ stronghold status
Uses iptables/nftables on Linux, pf on macOS — cannot be bypassed
Features

Everything You Need to Secure AI

A complete security layer designed specifically for AI infrastructure. Self-hosted, open source, and pay-as-you-go.

4-Layer Defense

Prompt Injection Detection

4-layer scanning architecture: heuristics, ML classification, semantic similarity, and LLM classification catch even sophisticated attacks.

Output Protection

Credential Leak Prevention

Scans LLM outputs for API keys, passwords, and sensitive data patterns. Blocks accidental exfiltration before it reaches users.

Zero Config

Transparent Proxy

System-wide protection at the network level. No code changes, no environment variables, no proxy configuration needed.

Pay As You Go

Pay-per-scan with no subscriptions or upfront costs. Only pay for what you use. Top up via dashboard with card or crypto.

<50ms Latency

Real-time Blocking

Sub-50ms latency with instant ALLOW/WARN/BLOCK decisions. Malicious requests stopped before they reach your AI models.

CLI Experience

Simple, Powerful, Fast

Pricing

Simple, Transparent Pricing

Same price, two payment paths. Choose crypto for autonomous agents or card billing for business integration.

$1per 1,000 scans

$0.001 per request — both payment methods, same rate

Individual

For developers running autonomous AI agents

  • x402 crypto payments (USDC)
  • Autonomous agent billing
  • No human in the loop
  • CLI + transparent proxy

Agents pay per-request with USDC wallets — no human intervention needed for billing.

Get Started

Business

For companies integrating scanning into their stack

  • Card billing via Stripe
  • Prepaid credits + metered overflow
  • API keys for server-to-server
  • SSO login (WorkOS)

Use API keys with standard card billing — no crypto wallet or blockchain knowledge required.
