Key Differentiators

Only full-suite AI security — Browser (Lens) + IDE (Rampart-LSP) + Local proxy (Rampart) + API gateway (Platform). No competitor offers more than one surface.
Only multi-protocol gateway — HTTP API + MCP + A2A + ACP + ANP + Response scanning. All competitors are HTTP-only.
Measured 0% FPR — Verified against 10,538+ benign examples including 1,869 near-miss cases. Competitors do not publish FPR.
100/100 evasion resistance — Verified against adversarial suite (transposition, vowel deletion, word reversal, obfuscation). Competitors do not publish evasion results.
31 compliance frameworks — Including EU AI Act (120 controls), NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, CMMC L2, FERPA, CJIS, NERC CIP. No competitor has more than 5.
Air-gapped deployment — Full capability (UI, SOAR, SIEM, evidence) with zero outbound connectivity. No competitor offers this.
SOAR integration — PagerDuty, Jira, ServiceNow out of the box. No competitor offers SOAR.
IDE integration — VS Code, Cursor, JetBrains, Neovim, Emacs, Helix, Sublime. No competitor offers IDE integration.
Verified scale — 5,000 concurrent VUs, 23,578 RPS, 0.00% errors on bare metal. No competitor publishes scale data.
Open-core — Apache 2.0 community edition + commercial enterprise modules. Self-hosted, no vendor lock-in, full community code auditability. Only Rebuff is also open source (MIT), but with ~10 patterns vs AegisGate’s 154+ML.

Where Competitors Still Lead

Area	Competitor	AegisGate Status
SOC 2 Type II (independent audit)	Nightfall, Cisco	Self-attestation Type I + controls exist; independent audit pending
Third-party pentest	Cisco	Self-pentest v3.3.0 exists; independent pentest pending
24/7 support	All enterprise vendors	Single-developer; MSSP partnership planned
Browser coverage	N/A (no extensions)	Chrome and Firefox available today, Safari pending
Mobile	None (no one has it)	Not yet built

Conclusion

AegisGate ties or wins on every technical dimension. The only areas where competitors lead are business maturity (certifications, support infrastructure) — not product capability. For organizations that prioritize verified detection accuracy, multi-protocol coverage, compliance breadth, air-gapped deployment, and open-source auditability, AegisGate is the clear choice.
