Overview
Asymptote Managed builds on the open-source Agent Beacon foundation with hosted ingest, retention, search, detections, policy controls, identity mapping, approvals, and investigation workflows. Use this architecture when agent activity needs to be visible across teams, endpoints, cloud agent applications, and security workflows from one managed control plane.
System Architecture
- Agent activity sources: Endpoint agent harnesses, cloud-hosted agent applications, services, workers, serverless functions, and other execution environments produce runtime telemetry.
- Collection paths: Agent Beacon collects local endpoint activity, while the Asymptote Observe SDK instruments cloud-hosted agent applications.
- Managed ingest: Asymptote centralizes telemetry for managed retention, search, detections, and fleet-wide visibility.
- Governance layer: Policy controls, identity mapping, approvals, SSO, RBAC, and audit trails connect runtime activity to users, teams, and security workflows.
- Investigation workflows: Timelines and case workflows organize prompts, tool calls, file access, command execution, and related context for review.
Managed Capabilities
| Capability | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Managed ingest and retention | Centralize runtime telemetry and preserve it according to managed retention policy |
| Fleet-wide visibility | Track agent harnesses, endpoints, users, teams, and cloud execution environments |
| Search and detections | Find risky activity and surface detection signals across the managed dataset |
| Policy and approvals | Govern agent actions and connect approvals back to identity and workflow context |
| Investigation timelines | Reconstruct agent sessions from prompts, tool calls, files, commands, and outcomes |
| Access control | Use SSO, RBAC, and audit trails for enterprise access governance |
