AI adoption is outpacing AI governance

Teams are adopting AI tools faster than organizations can secure and govern them. The gap is growing.

Shadow AI

Developers connect MCP servers, consume LLMs through shared API keys, and spin up agent workflows with no central visibility or policy enforcement.

Scattered credentials

API keys, OAuth tokens, and database credentials spread across every AI client and tool integration. No per-user attribution. No audit trail.

No network-level controls

Existing AI gateways bolt security on at the application layer. Nothing governs what agents can reach at the network level, or isolates them when they misbehave.

Platform teams are stuck

Enable AI adoption or enforce security. Current tools make this a tradeoff. It shouldn’t be.

Secure AI infrastructure that accelerates adoption

Three products on a unified zero-trust foundation. Each delivers standalone value. Together, they form the only integrated, governed AI infrastructure stack on the market.

Foundation

A2A Network

Zero-trust network for agent-to-agent communication. Cryptographic identity, governed discovery, engagement contracts, and auditable sessions.

  • Identity-first: every agent gets cryptographic identity
  • Workgroups define who can see and interact with whom
  • Catalog discovery with policy-enforced visibility
  • Engagement contracts govern every session
  • A2A protocol compatible
  • Fully self-hostable
LLM Access

LLM Gateway

OpenAI-compatible proxy with semantic routing, multi-provider support, cost governance, and guardrails – all over zero-trust networking.

  • Multi-provider: OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure, Bedrock, Vertex, Ollama
  • Semantic routing with 3-layer cascade
  • Identity-based access with virtual API keys
  • Per-identity budgets and cost tracking
  • Guardrails: PII detection, content safety, prompt injection
  • Private model meshes without VPN
Tool Access

MCP Gateway

Zero-trust access to MCP servers from anywhere. Aggregate, filter, and govern tool access for Claude Desktop, Cursor, and any MCP client.

  • Single-command setup for any MCP server
  • Multi-backend aggregation with tool namespacing
  • Permission filtering removes tools from registry entirely
  • Per-client session isolation
  • Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code
  • No open ports, no VPN required

Security that accelerates, not gates

The only AI infrastructure platform where zero trust is foundational, not bolted on.

Velocity

Minutes from zero to secure AI infrastructure. Drop-in compatible with existing tools and workflows. No code changes, no new SDKs.

🔒

Security

Dark by default. No open ports. Cryptographic identity for every connection. End-to-end encryption. Structural enforcement, not runtime checks.

👁

Visibility

Who is using which tools. Token and cost usage per team. Policy violations and audit trails. Real-time dashboards. Network-level observability.

Governance

Unified identity model across all products. Correlated observability from agent through LLM to tool. Coordinated policy enforcement.

What design partners are building

The AI Accelerator is for enterprise platform teams driving governed agentic AI adoption across their organizations.

Governed AI Tool Access

Give development teams secure access to MCP servers and LLM providers with per-user identity, cost controls, and audit trails. Replace scattered API keys with governed, identity-based access.

Products: MCP Gateway, LLM Gateway

Multi-Agent Workflows

Build cross-domain agent collaborations where each agent has cryptographic identity, interactions are bounded by contracts, and no agent can see or reach resources it isn’t authorized for.

Products: A2A Network, LLM Gateway, MCP Gateway

AI Ops

Centralized visibility and operational control over AI infrastructure. Monitor usage, enforce policy, manage costs, and maintain compliance across teams and projects from a single platform.

Products: Full platform

AI SecOps

Network-level zero trust for AI workloads. Identity-based access control, real-time policy enforcement, complete audit trails, and guardrails for PII, content safety, and prompt injection.

Products: Full platform

Agent Sandboxing

Isolate agent execution at the network connectivity layer. Contain blast radius, enforce least-privilege network access per agent, and prevent lateral movement – even if application-level controls fail.

Products: A2A Network, OpenZiti

AI Harness Development

Build secure agent harnesses using the A2A Network SDK, LLM Gateway, MCP Gateway, and OpenZiti SDKs directly. Embed zero-trust connectivity and governed collaboration into your agent runtime from the ground up.

Products: A2A Network SDK, LLM Gateway, MCP Gateway, Ziti SDKs

LLM Cost Governance

Per-identity budgets, team-level cost tracking, intelligent routing to optimize cost vs. capability, and budget enforcement that prevents runaway spend across LLM providers.

Products: LLM Gateway

Secure Model Routing

Private model meshes for regulated industries. Route sensitive workloads to on-prem models, air-gapped environments, or FIPS-compliant endpoints without VPN or public exposure.

Products: LLM Gateway, A2A Network

What you get

The AI Accelerator is a genuine partnership, not a beta test. We invest in your success because your feedback shapes the product.

Early access to the full platform

Pre-release access to A2A Network, LLM Gateway, MCP Gateway, and the commercial orchestration and visibility layer before general availability.

Direct engineering access

Dedicated Slack channel with NetFoundry engineers. Regular office hours. Direct access to the team building the product, not a support queue.

Roadmap influence

Your use cases and requirements directly shape product prioritization. Design partners get a seat at the table for what gets built next.

Dedicated onboarding

Architecture review, deployment planning, and hands-on integration support from NetFoundry engineers who know the platform inside and out.

Preferred commercial terms

Favorable pricing and licensing at GA for design partners who help shape the product. Usage-based pricing designed to scale with your adoption.

Co-marketing opportunity

Joint case studies, logo placement, and the credibility of being a launch partner for the first zero-trust AI infrastructure platform.
