Kosa8

Secure, sovereign sandboxes for enterprise AI agents

Sealed VM per agent

Every agent runs in a genuine VM with its own kernel and disk on Apple's Virtualization framework or KVM, not in a container that shares the host kernel.

Credential protection by placeholder

The sandbox sees one mounted folder and holds placeholder values instead of real API keys, which stay on your host and are brokered only to approved hosts.

Host-enforced network egress control

The network is closed by default; traffic flows only to allow-listed hosts through a broker whose rules live on the host, out of reach of anything inside the sandbox.

One-second snapshots and rewind

Checkpoint before risky work and restore a running machine, processes included, in about a second rather than rebuilding it from scratch.

Strengths & Pros

+True VM-level isolation with a per-agent kernel instead of shared-kernel containers
+API keys never enter the sandbox, and network egress is closed by default and allow-listed
+Fast snapshots, restores and forks make parallel agent runs and disposable ranges practical
+Docker CLI and Compose work unchanged, so existing tooling and images carry over
