When to use
Optimised for: governance + compliance + audit + adversarial hardening
Anti-fit: not for hobbyist / non-production use cases
Pros & cons
Pros
Strong on adversarial ML threats (model evasion, training-data poisoning) extending into memory poisoning at runtime.
Cons
Broad ML-security positioning means memory specifically isn't the focus; pricing is enterprise-tier.
Claims & capabilities
Model-agnostic and agentless — no access to weights or training data required.

Other memory governance, privacy & safety in the catalog, ranked by inbound references.
- Lakera Guard / Lakera Red T1
Acquired by Check Point Software (completed by 2025-11-11); being folded into Check Point's AI security platform. Screens every prompt, response, and retrieved document for indirect prompt injection — primary vector for memory poisoning. Treats memory as untrusted: anything written to or read from memory is adversarial until proven clean. Lakera Red provides "Agent Breaker" gamified red-teaming.
- Acuvity (now Proofpoint) T1
Acquired by Proofpoint (closed 2026-02-12). Runtime enforcement targeting memory poisoning, unauthorised execution, identity spoofing per the OWASP LLM threat list. Visibility/control over MCP servers and locally-installed AI tools — the infrastructure layer where memory is most exposed.
- Enkrypt AI T1
Applies guardrails at three points: (1) before write to vector DB, (2) before query reaches embedding model, (3) before response. Detects malicious instructions in stored memory before retrieval; scans for PII/PHI in/out. Text + image + voice modalities. Acquired by Anaconda (2026-08-04); Enkrypt AI is now sold as Anaconda's AI security and guardrails product.
- Hyperconsciousness (hc) T3
Developer-alpha encrypted, append-only knowledge store for humans and agents, with CLI/MCP access and scoped, expiring grants. Traction: Submitted via intake issue #181
- Mem0 Security / OpenMemory T1
Commercial Mem0 ships SOC 2 / HIPAA, zero-trust access controls, BYOK encryption, real-time monitoring, audit logs and workspace governance as defaults (Trust Center at trust.mem0.ai). For privacy-first deployments the self-hosted path is now the Mem0 open-source server (REST API + dashboard via Docker Compose with pgvector Postgres, admin setup wizard, per-user API keys, request audit log). As of Oct 2026 OpenMemory itself is a hosted MCP service and its old local Docker variant is no longer in the repo.
- Microsoft Agent Governance Toolkit T2
Cross-Model Verification Kernel (CMVK) requires majority-voting agreement across multiple model calls before a memory-influenced action. Agent OS package intercepts every action (memory included) at sub-millisecond latency. MIT licensed.
