Sentinel SCA is a governance runtime that evaluates autonomous actions before execution. It determines whether a proposed action is admissible before it crosses an execution boundary.
Begin by separating decision-making from execution. Sentinel validates identity, capability, policy, and governance requirements before actions are allowed to execute.
An execution boundary is the point where a proposed action becomes real. Examples include APIs, cloud infrastructure, industrial systems, IoT devices, robotics, and autonomous environments.
Admissibility is the determination that a proposed action satisfies governance requirements and is permitted to proceed.
Governance receipts provide evidence that governance evaluation occurred and record the resulting decision or enforcement outcome.
Replay protection prevents previously authorized requests from being reused to trigger duplicate or unauthorized execution.
Yes. Sentinel is designed to govern software systems, cloud infrastructure, industrial controls, IoT devices, autonomous environments, and physical automation workflows.
Sentinel follows a fail-closed model. If admissibility cannot be established, the safe outcome is non-execution.
No. Sentinel governs actions proposed by agents. It does not replace the agent itself.
Monitoring explains what happened after execution. Governance determines whether execution should happen at all.
