AI agents are not just producing harmful answers — they are taking actions. With tools, permissions, and access, the risk landscape has fundamentally shifted.
Every pattern below has already occurred. VENTRALIS is built to catch it before it does.
| Threat Pattern | VENTRALIS Evaluation |
|---|---|
| Unauthorized tool execution | Enforce permissions before execution |
| Goal manipulation | Measure goal consistency and behavioral drift |
| Deceptive agent reporting | Compare statements against recorded actions |
| Financial misuse | Test transaction authorization boundaries |
| Privilege escalation | Evaluate access-control enforcement |
| Runaway loops | Measure termination and recovery behavior |
| Prompt injection | Test whether untrusted instructions alter authorized behavior |
| Data exfiltration | Evaluate restrictions on sensitive-data transfers |
| Agent-assisted cyberattacks | Test defensive controls against authorized simulations |
