ABOUT PANGUARD AI
We believe security is a right, not a luxury.
“AI agents install skills with full system access -- zero review process. We're building the missing gatekeeper.”
WHY PANGUARD EXISTS
Why Panguard Exists
AI agents are installing skills with full system access -- file read, code execution, network requests, credential access -- with zero review process. One malicious skill is all it takes.
The App Store has review. Browser extensions have review. NPM packages have audits. But AI agent skills? Nothing. No review, no audit, no gatekeeper. And these skills get more access than any of those.
We looked at who's working on this. The big security companies are still chasing cloud workloads and endpoint detection. Nobody is building the missing review layer for AI agents.
So we built it. Panguard audits every skill before it runs, monitors agent behavior 24/7, and turns every user's threat discovery into protection for everyone.
100% free. MIT licensed. No account required. Because security for AI agents shouldn't be a luxury.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
Four principles that guide everything
These aren't slogans. They're engineering decisions.
Security is a right, not a privilege
A three-person startup deserves the same level of protection as a Fortune 500 company.
Open source breaks barriers
Not by lowering prices -- by letting everyone participate. Every line of code can be audited. Every rule can be verified.
AI should be honest, not magical
90% of threats don't need AI. We use rules first, AI second. When AI acts, it tells you its confidence level and shows its reasoning.
The network is the moat
One user makes Panguard useful. A million users make it unstoppable. Every deployment strengthens the shield for everyone.

BUILT IN TAIWAN
From the heart of the AI ecosystem
Panguard is built in Taiwan. In a region at the center of the global semiconductor and AI ecosystem, we're building security infrastructure that protects the world.
Taiwan faces more nation-state cyberattacks per capita than almost any country on earth. We understand the threat landscape because we live in it.

Built by a founder who saw the gap firsthand
PanGuard started when our founder -- a cross-disciplinary builder with backgrounds in sales, marketing (300M+ Threads impressions), and hip-hop festival production -- taught himself to code and discovered that AI agents were installing tools with full system access and zero security review. Within months, ATR grew to 110 detection rules, got merged into Cisco AI Defense, scanned 67,000+ skills, and achieved 96.9% recall on real-world threats. Based in Taiwan, shipping globally.
