The product combines **outbound containment** (external connections by domain), **lateral containment** (inter-workload communication by identity), and **intrusion prevention**, all tested against real traffic before enforcement. Aviatrix Active Defense automates policy drafting and updates based on observed workload behavior, reducing manual effort but requiring human review to avoid unintended disruptions.\n\nClearance runs on Aviatrix’s Containment Platform, integrating with Terraform, Kubernetes, and cloud-native security fabrics. It addresses a critical gap: even patched systems can spread damage if compromised agents or services retain excessive network access. Aviatrix is offering **free outbound/lateral containment and intrusion prevention** to all enterprises from November 1, 2026, to May 1, 2027, with no workload limits. Standard pricing starts at 15 workloads (monitor/enforce mode) and scales per workload. The tool does not replace other security measures but complements patching, identity controls, and detection by limiting lateral movement.","keyPoints":["Clearance restricts compromised workloads’ network paths via default-deny policies tested against live traffic before enforcement","Aviatrix Active Defense automates policy drafting and updates based on observed workload behavior, requiring human review","Free temporary program (Nov 1–May 1, 2027) offers unlimited outbound/lateral containment and intrusion prevention for all enterprises"],"whyItMatters":"Clearance directly addresses the rising risk of lateral movement in cloud/AI environments by letting security teams safely test restrictive policies before deployment. For enterprises, it bridges the gap between theoretical security policies and real-world operational constraints, especially critical as AI agents expand network dependencies.","category":{"slug":"enterprise","name":"Enterprise & Industry","url":"https://digestai.news/category/enterprise"},"entities":{"companies":["Aviatrix"],"models":[],"people":["Doug Merritt"]},"firstPublishedAt":"2026-10-27T20:42:02Z","updatedAt":"2026-10-27T20:42:02Z","sourceCount":1,"hasPrimarySource":false,"sources":[{"outlet":"Unite.AI","title":"Aviatrix Launches Clearance to Contain Compromised Cloud and AI Workloads","url":"https://unite.ai/aviatrix-clearance-cloud-ai-workload-containment","publishedAt":"2026-10-27T20:42:02Z","type":"press","primary":false,"lead":true}],"sourceNotes":null,"discussions":[],"thread":null,"cite":{"text":"Digest AI, \"Aviatrix launches Clearance to limit cloud and AI workload damage via network controls\", 27 October 2026, https://digestai.news/story/aviatrix-launches-clearance-to-limit-cloud-and-ai-workload-damage-via","publisher":"Digest AI","title":"Aviatrix launches Clearance to limit cloud and AI workload damage via network controls","datePublished":"2026-10-27T20:42:02Z","url":"https://digestai.news/story/aviatrix-launches-clearance-to-limit-cloud-and-ai-workload-damage-via"},"generatedBy":"Written by Digest AI's editorial model from the linked sources; the sources are the record.","license":"Headlines, digests and key points are written by Digest AI and may be quoted with a link to the story page.
