One prompt, one export-control incident.
An AI agent can read controlled source for "context", push it to a public registry, or tar it into a backup that leaves the enclave. DDTC and BIS do not have a "the AI did it" exception.

AI coding agent governance for defense
AI governance for defense and aerospace.
See how DarkControlAI protects defense and aerospace primes from uncontrolled AI coding agents: keeping AI tools away from ITAR-controlled code and classified infrastructure, with operator-approved verdicts on every privileged command.
Built for the AI coding agents your engineers actually use
See it in action
From shadow AI to governed AI in under 30 seconds.
Watch DarkControlAI intercept a Claude Code agent attempting destructive commands on a developer workstation, escalate the call to a human operator, and record the whole exchange, fleet-wide, in real time.
Install the agent
One-line installer. Windows, Linux, macOS. MDM-friendly.
Set your rules
Allow, deny or ask, by command, package, organisation or department.
Govern every command
Every attempt your AI coding agents make is matched against policy before it runs.
Prove it
Auditor-ready evidence on demand, centralised.
The Problem · Defense
In defense, an AI coding agent is uncleared personnel inside your build.
Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex, Copilot, Cursor and Google Antigravity will read whatever the developer points them at, including ITAR-controlled source, classified configuration and IP-protected algorithms. None of those AI vendors hold your clearances. Your developers handed them the keys anyway.
Per-machine settings don't scale.
Every AI coding tool ships its own permission file, configured per-laptop, per-developer, per-tool. There's no central place to say "engineering can install npm packages, but no one in finance can run apt." So nobody does.
No fleet-wide visibility. Anywhere.
Which machines run AI agents? Which agents tried what last week? Which were blocked, which slipped through? Most security teams genuinely cannot answer these questions today; there is no inventory and no log.
CMMC, ITAR and program accreditation want operator-approved action.
A written AI guidance memo is insufficient on a controlled program. DarkControlAI produces operator-signed verdicts on every privileged command an AI tool attempts: the exact runtime evidence accreditors increasingly request.
The Solution
Allow. Deny. Ask. Audited.
DarkControlAI sits between your AI coding agents and your operating system. Every command they attempt is matched against the policy you set in a single console, and the verdict, plus a full audit record, lands on your security team's screen in real time.
ALLOW
Trust the safe stuff.
Read-only commands, repo navigation, test runs and your team's pre-vetted tooling clear instantly and silently. Developers feel nothing.
git status · npm test · python -m pytest
ASK
Put a human in the loop.
For commands that aren't quite blocked but warrant a glance, a package install, a system change; DarkControlAI escalates to a real person before the AI proceeds.
npm install <new package> · sudo apt install …
DENY
Stop the bad ones cold.
The dangerous patterns: destructive deletes, piped curls, package poisoning attempts, never reach the shell. The agent is told no, the event is logged, the machine is fine.
rm -rf /* · curl … | sh · aws s3 rm s3://prod
Central policy, fleet-wide reach
Set rules once in the console. Every endpoint picks them up automatically. No mass SSH, no per-machine drift.
Departments, not just orgs
Engineering can have a permissive ruleset. Finance can ban every package install. Contractors can have their own posture entirely.
Package-manager aware
One rule covers every install variant. npm install, npm i, yarn, pnpm, pip, apt, brew; DarkControlAI expands them for you.
Immutable audit trail
Every attempt: allowed, denied, asked, recorded with command, host, IP, service and timestamp. CSV export for SIEM ingestion is built in.
Live compliance posture
A continuously-scored 0-100 view of license health, rule coverage, agent liveness and governance, with a 12-item checklist auditors recognise.
One agent, every OS
A single lightweight agent for Windows, Linux and macOS. One-line installer. Self-updating. Revoke any endpoint in one click.
