Coverage is evidence
A visibility number is incomplete without its denominator, freshness, exclusions, and known blind spots.
Capability-level comparison
Broad security suites protect AI. Fogcutter makes AI control provable.
WitnessAI, Prisma AIRS, and Netskope publish stronger native catalogs for content protection, attack defense, and red teaming. Fogcutter's bet is different: the hardest enterprise problem is proving that inventory, identity, policy, rollout, runtime action, and evidence describe the same event.

Where Fogcutter goes deeper
Six contracts we did not find described together—or at this level—in the reviewed public materials.
Policy is compiled
Effective order, unreachable logic, conflicts, and redundancy are proven before a candidate can move forward.
Change has provenance
Fixtures, approvals, signed bundles, shadow comparison, canary selection, and rollback form one delivery record.
Blocking is a lifecycle fact
Blocked-before-forward is established from the durable absence of a forwarding lifecycle—not inferred from an alert label.
Metrics open into proof
Definitions, clocks, scope, and exclusions stay attached to every aggregate and lead back to decision evidence.
Runtime can stand alone
A customer-side data plane can use signed last-known-good policy without making dashboard availability part of the traffic path.
How to read this “Not found publicly” means the exact capability contract was not located in the official materials reviewed; it does not prove the product lacks an unpublished feature. Fogcutter “Product path” and “Product direction” describe intended capabilities, not current production availability.
