Intent is the explicit purpose behind an AI action. It defines what the system is meant to do, within what scope, and with what limits. AI agents reason dynamically, so intent cannot be assumed it must be declared and enforced.

Intent Assurance ensures that every AI action is verified against an approved purpose before it executes. If an action does not belong to the declared intent, it is blocked. This prevents silent drift, unintended escalation, and unauthorized outcomes.

IAM verifies who can act and what they can access. Intent Assurance verifies whether the action should happen at all. AI systems can be fully authenticated and still act incorrectly. Intent Assurance closes that gap.

ArmorIQ sits between AI reasoning and execution. Agents can plan and adapt freely, but before any action runs, ArmorIQ checks that it aligns with approved intent. It builds on to complement existing IAM, Zero Trust, and monitoring. It does not replace them.

ArmorIQ is for teams accountable when AI systems act. That includes platform leaders, SREs, and security teams, anyone who is managing irreversible actions. Most teams don't look for Intent Assurance at first they realize they need it once autonomy becomes real.
