Wider Security

Wider Security is a cybersecurity company that offers services and solutions across several domains, with a focus on risk management, system engineering, and AI security. Their primary offerings include: - Scalable and adaptable risk management for critical information systems - System engineering and integration support - Secure artificial intelligence integration - CORA inspection readiness support for NISP (National Industrial Security Program) contractors and Department of Defense-connected organizations A notable product from Wider Security is AEGIS, a patent-pending security layer designed to supervise the actions of AI agents. AEGIS is built around the concept of "containment by design," meaning it structurally prevents a compromised or manipulated AI agent from executing harmful actions, rather than relying solely on detection mechanisms. The product targets organizations deploying AI agents and seeks to address risks associated with agent manipulation or compromise. The company's work with NISP contractors and DoD-connected organizations suggests a focus on the defense and government sector, particularly around compliance and inspection readiness under the CORA framework. Wider Security appears to serve both commercial and government clients, combining professional services (engineering, integration, compliance readiness) with a software product (AEGIS) for AI agent security.
