Identity & Integration
Exogram + CyberArk / Secret Management
“Machine identity is not execution governance.”
What CyberArk / Secret Management Does
- •Manages secrets, API keys, and machine identities for enterprise infrastructure.
- •Rotates credentials and controls who has access to the database or external APIs.
- •Secures the connection between the application and the downstream service.
- •Does not care what operations occur *inside* that authenticated session.
What Exogram Does
- ▸CyberArk secures the connection. Exogram secures the action inside the connection.
- ▸When an AI agent uses a CyberArk-secured API key to connect to Postgres, CyberArk doesn't care if the agent drops the database or reads it. Exogram does.
- ▸Provides semantic action-level governance, not just connection-level access.
Key Differences
| Dimension | CyberArk / Secret Management | Exogram |
|---|---|---|
| Protection Scope | Authentication (connection access) | Authorization (action admissibility) |
| Data Awareness | Blind to payload semantic intent | Full semantic policy enforcement |
The Verdict
Use CyberArk to secure your keys. Use Exogram to secure what your autonomous AI agents do with those keys.
Interception Latency Benchmark
Unlike standard LLM-based guardrails that invoke external APIs on every single tool execution, Exogram compiles policies to execute in-memory inside the client runtime.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need Exogram if CyberArk rotates my database credentials?
Because a rogue AI agent with a valid, freshly-rotated database credential can still execute a destructive DELETE query. CyberArk protects the key; Exogram protects the query.
