Capsule Security Launches ‘AI Circuit Breaker’ to Stop Rogue Agents
New models, trained using NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Ultra, aim to catch rogue agent behavior before it executes, without the latency of large-model review. The post Capsule Security Launches ‘AI Circuit Breaker’ to Stop Rogue Agents appeared first on SecurityWeek.
Providing security against anomalous autonomous agents requires instantaneous detection, evaluation and action – a circuit breaker for AI rather than a circuit breaker for electricity.
Such a ‘device’ has now been developed and released by Capsule Security.
The firm was founded in 2025 by Naor Paz (CEO) and Lidan Hazout (CTO). They had seen how autonomous AI agents create a dangerous security gap and decided to build a missing runtime security layer. Their latest solution was announced on September 2, 2026, and is described as an ‘AI circuit breaker’. It is designed to prevent damage from agents operating outside their intended scope, in real-time.
