ABOUT GAUSSIAN
We Build the Missing
Security Layer for AI Agents
AI coding tools went from suggesting code to executing it. Your EDR can't tell the difference between a developer and an AI agent spawning the same process. We built Gaussian to close that gap — at the OS level, in real time.
While building TuringMind AI as an intelligent code security & review platform, we hit a fundamental realization: the problem facing AI software engineering is two-fold.
AI Agents Were Executing Unsafely
We were using AI agents to build TuringMind, but saw firsthand that agents were spawning untrusted subprocesses, running unreviewed postinstall scripts, and touching local credentials without OS governance. To protect our own workstations, we built Gaussian — an inline macOS agent firewall.
Skills Are Pluggable; Memory Is Core
Everyone was building code review agents, but those are just ephemeral skills. The true foundation is the code security memory layer (semantic graph index). Developers should be able to try out multiple pluggable skills safely on their workstations while relying on a unified memory foundation.
Today, TuringMind provides the code security memory layer that enables applications to scale, while Gaussian provides the deterministic runtime firewall that lets developers plug in and experiment with agent skills safely on macOS.

HOW WE BUILD
Honest Engineering
We publish our known limitations alongside our capabilities. If Gaussian can't block something, we say so. The 'Honest Gaps' section on our comparison page isn't marketing — it's how we build trust with security teams.
Endpoint Truth
Configuration files lie. Advisory databases lag. The only source of truth for what AI agents actually execute is the operating system kernel. Gaussian is built on Apple's Endpoint Security and Network Extension APIs — not proxies, not browser extensions, not agents that can be bypassed.
Developer-First Security
Security tools that slow developers down get disabled. Gaussian runs as a native macOS system extension with sub-1ms evaluation latency. Monitor mode logs everything transparently. Developers keep their workflow — security teams get visibility.
