Your Agents Need a Black Box

Vorlon just announced two products at RSAC 2026: an AI Agent Flight Recorder and an AI Agent Action Center. The flight recorder captures every action an AI agent takes across your ecosystem — SaaS integrations, API calls, data access, the lot. The action center lets security teams respond when something goes sideways.

The naming is deliberate. Flight recorders exist because when a plane crashes, “we think something went wrong” isn’t an acceptable answer. You need the exact sequence of events, the inputs, the decisions, the moment things diverged from expected.

We’re at the same point with AI agents. Teams are deploying agents that touch production systems, access customer data, and chain actions across multiple services. When one of those agents does something unexpected — and they will — the current answer at most organisations is “check the logs.” Except there are no logs. Not for the agent’s reasoning, not for its tool calls, not for the sequence of decisions that led to the action.

That’s the gap Vorlon is filling. Not preventing agents from doing bad things — that’s a different product category. This is about knowing what happened after the fact, which is the prerequisite for fixing anything.

It’s also the prerequisite for trust. You can’t give agents more autonomy if you can’t audit what they did with the autonomy they already have. Forensics first, then permissions. That’s the order.
