Layered Enforcement Architecture is a defense-in-depth strategy where no single point of failure compromises the entire agentic system.
Layers
- Prompt Layer: Provides behavioral guidance and intent; probabilistic.
- Pre-Execution Layer: Ensures inputs are valid before action.
- Post-Execution Layer: Validates results against business rules and detects anomalies before passing downstream.
- Runtime Layer: Continuous monitoring and anomaly detection during action execution.
This depth ensures that if one layer is bypassed or fails, subsequent layers catch the error, enhancing overall system resilience.
