A secure enterprise agent infrastructure

The Challenge

Orbit Dynamics had deployed 50+ autonomous agents across engineering, compliance, and operations. The problem was scale and trust.

Key Pain Points:

• Agents were hallucinating on classified or controlled documents

• No reliable audit trail for agent decisions (critical for compliance)

• Memory systems were siloed — agents couldn’t share context across teams

• Security team refused to approve production use without encryption + access controls

• Task success rate hovered at 78% — too low for mission-critical workflows

They needed memory infrastructure that was secure, auditable, and actually reliable at enterprise scale.

The Solution

We designed and deployed a secure, auditable memory infrastructure:

• End-to-end encrypted memory vaults with role-based access control

• Full audit logging with cryptographic proof of every retrieval and decision

• Cross-team memory sharing with fine-grained permissions

• Continuous learning + human-in-the-loop verification for high-stakes tasks

• Compliance-ready reporting (SOC2, FedRAMP-aligned)

The system was built to meet the strictest security and audit requirements in the industry.

The Results (After 12 Weeks in Production)

Quote from Orbit’s Chief AI Officer

Automat gave us the only memory infrastructure we’ve seen that satisfies both our security team and our agents. The audit trail is now faster than our old manual process. We finally trust our agents with mission-critical work.

What Changed for Orbit Dynamics

Before Automat:

• Security team blocked most agent deployments.

• Every audit was a multi-week manual fire drill.

• Agents couldn’t share context across classified boundaries without human intervention.

After Automat:

• Security team approved the memory infrastructure for production use.

• Audits that used to take weeks now take seconds with cryptographic proof.

• Agents safely share context across teams with granular access controls.

Technical Highlights

• Security: AES-256 encryption at rest + TLS 1.3 in transit + hardware-backed key management

• Audit: Immutable event log with SHA-256 hashing + optional blockchain anchoring

• Access Control: Attribute-based + role-based with just-in-time permissions

• Compliance: SOC2 Type II + FedRAMP Moderate controls mapped

• Latency: <95ms retrieval even with 200k+ context tokens and full audit logging

What’s Next

Orbit is now expanding the infrastructure to their satellite operations and supply chain agents. The same secure memory layer is becoming the foundation for their entire autonomous operations platform.
