Get smart on it

A startup has created Blockhouse, a security sandbox designed to restrict what AI workloads can access and do when running on company-owned infrastructure. The tool operates at the Linux kernel level by removing capabilities by default and allowing administrators to selectively restore access through policies, following zero-trust security principles. This addresses the challenge companies face when wanting to run AI models internally to keep sensitive data private while still needing to protect against compromised or misbehaving models. The startup plans to open-source Blockhouse under the Apache 2.0 license while charging for a separate fleet management platform.
