Pain point

Enterprises lack a comprehensive security layer combining declarative policies, static analysis, dependency scanning, and secure credential management.

Who'd pay for this

Tech companies and development teams seeking to enhance security in CI/CD and access policy management.

"Layer 5 Security is table-stakes for enterprise. OPA/Cedar turns security rules into data (declarative, auditable, version-controllable) instead of TS code."

Security Layer 5: OPA/Cedar policy engine + Semgrep + Dependabot/Trivy

Published: 3 hours ago

Repository: ytarasova/ark Author: ytarasova Context Per docs/ROADMAP.md Layer 5 Security: | Gap | Approach | Priority | |---|---|---| | OPA-style policy engine | OPA or Cedar. Declarative policies: "tenant X cannot use ec2-firecracker", "agent Y cannot run rm -rf", "sessions over $5 require approval". Evaluate at dispatch + tool-call boundaries. | SP2 | | Static analysis integration | Semgrep (OSS, multi-language) as a verify-stage tool. Run automatically before PR creation. Block merge on P0 findings. | SP2 | | Dependency scanning | Dependabot (GitHub-native) + Trivy (OSS container scanner). Run on schedule or PR event. | SP2 | | Credential brokering | Short-lived tokens issued per-session. Agent gets a scoped token that expires when session ends. No long-lived secrets in agent environment. | SP2 | State today: - TenantPolicyManager has limited declarative policy support (provider allow-list). - No OPA / Cedar integration — policies are hard-coded TS. - No Semgrep integration. - No Trivy / Dependabot wiring. - No credential brokering — secrets are long-lived. Scope 1. OPA / Cedar policy engine 2. Semgrep verify-stage tool 3. Dependency scanning 4. Credential brokering Why this matters Layer 5 Security is table-stakes for enterprise. OPA/Cedar turns security rules into data (declarative, auditable, version-controllable) instead of TS code. Semgrep + Trivy close the "agents ship insecure code" risk. Credential brokering shrinks the blast radius of a compromised session.
