DROS-VEP Lite is an open-source security benchmark and sandbox environment designed to assess the runtime security of AI agents in enterprise settings. This innovative platform evaluates critical dimensions of AI agent operations, focusing on Runtime Tool-Call Authorization and Privileged Execution Governance, setting it apart from traditional benchmarks that primarily measure intelligence and coding capabilities.

Key Features

• Runtime Governance: DROS-VEP takes a unique approach to AI security by addressing scenarios like unauthorized tool calls and privilege violations that existing benchmarks overlook.

• Defense Architecture: Integrated into a modern Defense-in-Depth framework, DROS provides the essential last-mile runtime defenses for AI agents, complementing existing cybersecurity measures like WAF and EDR.

  ┌───────────────────────────┐
  │ Layer 1: Network Perimeter  │
  │ WAF (Cloudflare, Palo Alto) │  → Blocks L3-L7 SQLi/DDoS
  ├───────────────────────────┤
  │ Layer 2: Endpoint & Host   │
  │ EDR (CrowdStrike, Sentinel) │  → Blocks OS Ransomware

• Benchmarking Methodology: Measure policy decision latencies to ensure operational efficiency, with current benchmarks indicating an impressive median latency of 26.1 μs.

• Threat Scenario Reproduction: The system replicates and neutralizes a range of real-world AI incidents, using a structured approach mapped to the MITRE ATLAS framework, resulting in enhanced detection and response capabilities.
