>Splitting AI Agents to Contain Prompt Injection

Go behind the scenes of how we built guardrails into Thomas, ConductorOne's AI agent—and the industry's first multi-agent identity security platform. This blog breaks down our architecture, trust models, and sandboxing techniques that ensure agents can automate identity governance safely, securely, and transparently.
