Building Trust in the Age of Autonomous AI

Dubai-founded OTT Cybersecurity LLC has announced two significant milestones that position them as foundational infrastructure for securing AI systems: acceptance into Anthropic’s Cyber Verification Program (CVP) and the public release of the Agent Trust Protocol (ATP), an open cryptographic standard for verifying AI agent identity, permissions, and actions.

Addressing a Critical Security Gap

The rapid deployment of autonomous AI agents—those that can read emails, write code, move money, and execute tasks on behalf of users—has created a critical security gap. Existing enterprise security models weren’t designed to handle these increasingly powerful systems. Lyrie aims to change this by providing an integrated platform for both offensive and defensive cybersecurity in the AI era.

Introducing the Agent Trust Protocol (ATP)

The ATP, developed by Lyrie’s research team and now available under MIT license, provides a cryptographic framework that allows any system to verify:

  • Identity: Who or what the agent is
  • Scope: What actions it’s authorized to perform
  • Integrity: Whether the agent or its instructions have been tampered with
  • Delegation: Who granted authority
  • Revocation: If that authority has been revoked

“Every AI agent on the internet today is essentially a stranger,” explains Guy Sheetrit, CEO and Founder of OTT Cybersecurity LLC. “ATP provides the foundation for establishing trust in these interactions.”

The protocol is designed to be open, royalty-free, and is slated for submission to the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) with a reference implementation available on GitHub.

Security Validation from Anthropic

Lyrie’s acceptance into Anthropic’s Cyber Verification Program validates their approach to AI security. The program assesses operators of dual-use cybersecurity tools, ensuring they adhere to responsible development and deployment practices within Claude’s AI infrastructure.

Comprehensive AI Security Platform

Beyond the ATP, Lyrie offers:

  • Autonomous penetration testing with proof-of-concept exploits and remediation guidance
  • GPU-powered red teaming using advanced attack techniques
  • Vulnerability discovery workflows aligned with industry standards like OWASP ASI 2026
  • Binary analysis capabilities for finding zero-day vulnerabilities
  • A flexible architecture that scales from consumer hardware to enterprise GPU clusters

With these advancements, Lyrie is positioned as a critical security layer for organizations embracing the agentic AI revolution.
