About Panguard.AI

Panguard.AI is a robust open-source malware scanner and runtime guard specifically designed for AI agents. It provides a critical layer of security by vetting third-party skills before installation, scanning existing assets for malicious components, and preventing hijack attempts during runtime. Its focus on AI security makes it ideal for developers and organizations deploying AI agents that need to ensure their environment remains safe from malicious code and exploits. What sets Panguard apart is its comprehensive approach, combining on-device operation with a vast library of 768 open ATR rules, already adopted by major entities like Microsoft, Cisco, and OWASP. The tool is lightweight, easy to install via npm, and fully open source under the MIT license, making it accessible and customizable for security-conscious users.
