Vault Agentics to provide VaultOS, its agent operating system, to clients at no charge

WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Vault Agentics, an artificial intelligence (AI)-native cybersecurity firm, announced today that it will provide VaultOS, the operating system the firm uses to run its own business, to client organizations at no charge as part of advisory, architecture and managed services engagements.

VaultOS consolidates pipeline, proposals, delivery, partner activity, finance and weekly planning into one console, with governed AI agents performing the recurring work behind each function. It was built for internal use.

"I am not going to charge a toll on something that will be table stakes in three years," said Hani Braish, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Vault Agentics. "Every company is going to be run this way. The only question is whether it happens under a governance model or in the dark."

The giveaway is a security decision

"Our clients will adopt agents in the next eighteen months regardless of what anyone recommends," Braish said. "If nobody hands them governed infrastructure, somebody in finance wires up an agent with a service account and nobody knows it exists. The risk is not adoption. It is whether anyone can see it."

Every agent in VaultOS is scoped, credentialed, logged and rate-limited, with a written threshold at which it halts and a named person takes control. The model is published as the Vault Airport Framework, covering identity, infrastructure, data and agentic oversight in four layers.

"Everything downstream of an unowned identity is theater," Braish said.

"You do not need to be Palantir"

The firm serves defense suppliers between roughly $50 million and $500 million in revenue, a segment Braish argues has been underestimated by the firms that sell to it.

"You do not need to be Palantir to execute on a grand idea, and you can do it with your own values," he said. "I meet presidents running two hundred people who think at the scale of a company twenty times their size. Everyone assumes that is ego. It usually is not. What was missing was never the ambition or the talent. It was that nobody ever built them the infrastructure to operate at the scale they already think in."

Why smaller suppliers may be better positioned

"The advantage here is not size. It is turning radius," Braish said. "A $200 million manufacturer can adopt in a quarter what takes a Fortune 100 eighteen months to approve. For the next two years, that is the whole edge. But the large company has resources and no clock speed, and the small company has clock speed and one shot to get it right. What wins is the ability to change direction without a reorganization."

He is direct about the cost. "I am not going to pretend this is painless. Some jobs will go. Every transition has had winners and losers, and the people who build to optimize their outcomes and outputs are the ones who win. I would rather say that early than comfort people late. Humans should do what they want, not what they must. If agents handle the mundane part of a day, those hours go to a family, or to the project that actually matters. Not headcount reduction. Reclaimed hours."

On sovereignty

"Software is the cheapest input in this business now. Access and judgment are not," Braish said. "Sovereignty is a geography problem wearing a technology costume: where the data rests, whose law reaches it, which nationals can touch it, which border the model crosses. I spent years at GE, Cisco and Palo Alto watching regulated data move across jurisdictions, and worked with ministries across the Middle East and Africa while those markets wrote their first residency rules. Most firms selling sovereign AI to defense suppliers have read about this. Very few have stood in the room where it broke."

Defense suppliers first

Vault Agentics is a Palo Alto Networks NextWave Solution Provider. In one engagement with a 220-user defense manufacturer, the firm identified $134,000 in savings on a single architecture decision and consolidated more than twelve point products to two platform vendors.

The Department of Defense suspended third-party assessment requirements under the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program in July 2026. Obligations under DFARS clause 252.204-7012, the NIST SP 800-171 controls, self-assessments and Supplier Performance Risk System reporting remain in force.

"The assessor went away. The requirement did not," Braish said. "Suppliers who kept moving will be ready when the rule returns. The ones who stopped will be in a queue, explaining to a prime why they cannot take the work."

Vault Agentics is offering a no-cost 30-minute readout to defense industrial base manufacturers through November 30, 2026, covering self-assessment standing and surviving obligations for a given contract profile.
