General Analysis provides a comprehensive suite of AI safety tools, including run-time guardrails, red-teaming frameworks, interpretability techniques, observability, and more. As AI systems become increasingly capable, their deployment in high-stakes environments poses significant risks—financial, ethical, and otherwise—where errors can lead to substantial consequences. To address these challenges, we offer access to novel tools and methodologies designed to systematically find model failure-modes and enhance model robustness.

Eos helps enterprises drive AI adoption by providing visibility, demonstrating governance and eliminating the access risk of AI Agents. The oncoming explosion of agents brings with it a sprawl of identities and entitlements. These agents can be indeterministic and ephemeral. Not being able to control and protect them from performing harmful actions can slow down AI adoption, and cause reputational and financial damage to the organization. Eos enables enterprises to discover and govern shadow AI identities, and protect them against agentic privilege misuse and unauthorized access.
