Mountain Theory is the antivirus for AI. It checks every action an AI agent takes before it runs, against rules written in plain English, then allows it, holds it for a person, or blocks it. No signatures to update. Every decision is logged for your auditor. It works with any AI you already use, from coding agents like Claude Code and OpenAI Codex to models in your own environment or the cloud. AI agents now act on their own. They move money, touch patient records, call APIs, and kick off workflows with no human in the loop. The moment a model decides, something happens. Mountain Theory secures that moment. We sit inline between an AI agent's decision and its action. Every action is checked against your policy before it runs, so a hijacked or manipulated agent cannot act beyond its scope. Allow it, hold it for a human, or block it. POLICY. Write the rules in plain English. No code, no security bottleneck. ENFORCEMENT. Deterministic, at the action, where a clever prompt cannot talk its way past it. ACCOUNTABILITY. Every decision logged and explainable, ready for your auditor. Model agnostic. Works with what you already run. Patent pending. Part of NVIDIA Inception and Google for Startups. Our first design partner is Optimo AI, where a healthcare CISO put us against real workflows. Built for CISOs in healthcare, financial services, public safety, defense, and education, where a wrong action is not a bug report, it is a breach. Founded by two security veterans with 25+ years each. Mike May protected $80B+ in annual payment flows at Western Union and ran security integration for 35+ M&A transactions. Shaun Cuttill founded 2FA Inc, holds 5 patents in identity security, and built FBI fingerprint identification technology. See it work ➜ mountaintheory.ai
