Trustwise provides a trust layer for Agentic and Generative AI systems, addressing the 'Trust Gap' that hinders AI adoption. Their solutions focus on minimizing risks related to unreliability, inefficiency, and lack of control in AI projects. Trustwise offers real-time trust and control across agents, models, and clouds, transforming 'naked agents' into 'shielded agents' by embedding trust-as-code through APIs, SDKs, and Guardian Agents. Their AI Shields prevent tool misuse, data leaks, and enforce trust automatically at runtime. They serve large enterprises in healthcare, finance, and industrial operations where AI must be trusted, secure, and compliant. Trustwise's unique approach includes inside-out security at the decision layer, built-in trust as a core principle, comprehensive real-time control, and adaptive scalability. They differentiate themselves by focusing solely on runtime AI trust, offering modular deployment, deep trust infrastructure, real-time automated interventions, and proven production use with major enterprises.
