CUSTODY Framework Ships to Constrain AI Agents in Enterprise Networks
Security researcher Jake Williams has released CUSTODY, an open framework designed to impose structured boundaries on agentic AI systems operating inside enterprise networks, developed in direct response to observed attacks against AI infrastructure. The framework addresses a recognised gap in enterprise security tooling: the absence of standardised runtime controls governing what AI agents can access, invoke, or modify once deployed inside a network perimeter. Residual questions remain around integration maturity, coverage across heterogeneous agent platforms, and the operational overhead required to tune CUSTODY policies at scale.
