Clam is building enterprise-grade data security for AI frameworks like OpenClaw through their “Semantic Firewall”, a security checkpoint at the network level. Congrats on the launch Anshul Paul and Vaibhav!

@vaibagra Giving AI data is a lot of all or nothing currently. We're working on giving you control of your data in the AI age!

@anshulpaul30 AI needs all your data, you need peace of mind. This is where we come in!

@anshulpaul30 @vaibagra AISec, a new an emerging field fs! And highly required too Still, surely some of the startup founders within our ecosystem would love to use clam with their products and enhance sec

@anshulpaul30 @vaibagra Tread carefully around that area folks, you're going to be going head to head with the likes of palo-alto and crowdstrike and all the big endpoint vendors, unless you have something far novel beyond using an N.E.R model or a classifier.

@anshulpaul30 @vaibagra Semantic firewalls are a strong idea. The next step is proving recall impact: block exfiltration without killing useful tool calls. If they publish false-positive rate + latency overhead, this gets enterprise trust fast.

@anshulpaul30 @vaibagra Building security at the network level is pretty cool

@anshulpaul30 @vaibagra cool concept, this approach makes way more sense than trying to bolt security onto the agent itself calling it enterprise-grade is a stretch though

@anshulpaul30 @vaibagra Network-level interception is smart, but the deeper question is why agents get ambient credentials at all. Scoping access per task instead of per agent cuts the blast radius before any firewall has to catch it.

@anshulpaul30 @vaibagra Security at the semantic layer is inevitable. Agent economies need network-level attribution and verification, not just sandboxing.

@anshulpaul30 @vaibagra this is the right layer. model evals catch bugs but network guardrails stop disasters in real time. what false positive rate are you seeing in production

@anshulpaul30 @vaibagra I've had Idea for Docker Container Level security since few days Similar Concept But seems Network layer might be easier to build My idea was Each Info from an API its sent to a container where Anti Prompt Injection Agent & Security Visors check against malicious data or prompt

Congrats on the launch — great to see more attention on security for agentic systems. We’ve been exploring a similar direction with Crust, built by security researchers to guard agent tool calls before execution. Started working on this about two weeks ago as we saw the risks emerging. Open-source infrastructure for securing agent actions locally.

@anshulpaul30 @vaibagra ngl this is like when ppl finally learned after old web apps and then cloud that perimeter security is kinda fake... agents can mess up way bigger so a semantic firewall plus hiding keys at the network level feels super smart... congrats @anshulpaul30 & @vaibagra on the lauch

Semantic Firewall is solving the wrong problem if it only watches the network layer. The real exploit surface is prompt injection at the application layer - where user input becomes indistinguishable from system instructions. You can't firewall what looks legitimate. Better approach: treat every model output as untrusted, require explicit authorization for actions. Defense in depth, not just a checkpoint.

Your AI agent has access to your Gmail. Your dad sends you his tax information. Now what? That actually happened to Vaibhav, founder of @tryclamnow (YC W26). His agent was scanning meeting invites and nearly ingested every detail. SSNs, financials, all of it. Thanks to Clam, it never saw a thing. Clam is a semantic firewall that sits at the network layer and intercepts every request an AI agent makes. No more PII leaking through, or dangerous prompt injections. Your API keys stay hidden. Here's where we come in. Vaibhav needed Gmail and Google Calendar for his YC launch, and Google's OAuth approval process would have taken months. He connected his agent to them all in one night. Composio let Vaibhav skip months of OAuth approvals and focus on what actually matters - keeping your data secure. One night, 1,000+ apps, done. Thank you Vaibhav for an awesome conversation.
