Ceros by Beyond Identity

What it is

Ceros is Beyond Identity's trust execution layer for AI agents. It removes API tokens from developer machines entirely, stores them in a secure cloud environment, and replaces them with device-bound keys that physically cannot be extracted. Every agent action is tracked with provenance and authorization, and permissions adjust dynamically based on the risk level of the current context.

Who it's for

Any founder or engineering team running AI agents with real access to systems, data, or credentials. Essential for teams in regulated industries or selling to enterprise customers who will ask AI governance questions.

Why it's better

• •Eliminates API token theft by removing tokens from local machines entirely.
• •Device-bound credentials mean a stolen key is useless on any other machine.
• •Dynamic policy adjusts agent permissions in real time based on context risk — permissions shrink when risk spikes.
• •Full provenance tracking for every agent action, whether initiated by a human or another agent.
• •Free for personal use — protects against token theft with no upfront cost.
• •Built to address context residue, prompt injection, and prompt assembly attacks.
