FLEET-ENROLLED PROTECTION, SELF-SERVED RECOVERY
IT enrols the fleet. Nobody else signs up for anything.
An administrator deploys the agent with Group Policy or MDM, and that is the last setup step anyone performs. When an AI agent or a bad update wrecks someone’s work, the person it happened to opens their twin from a browser on any device — signed in with the same work account they use on the laptop — and picks up from before it happened.
Enrol the fleet. Find it yourself.

Setup neededThe diagram shows the mechanism, its current result, and the limit that remains in force.
Step 1 of 3Detect and record a local decision
Deterministic checks produce a disposition and policy action; today the endpoint records the result rather than blocking.
Step 2 of 3Contain and recover: planned
The plan is to coordinate containment with recovery in one platform; that is not available today.
Step 3 of 3Limits
Unknown programs are allowed with an alert by default, not blocked. Coordinated protection and recovery are planned. WORM applies only to the supported S3 storage with Object Lock turned on; other backends fail closed.
Mechanism
Deterministic checks produce a disposition and policy action; today the endpoint records the result rather than blocking.
Platform state
Today, endpoints observe and record; blocking programs in real time is deferred and will be platform-specific.
Limits
Unknown programs are allowed with an alert by default, not blocked. Coordinated protection and recovery are planned. WORM applies only to the supported S3 storage with Object Lock turned on; other backends fail closed.
Before you start
A released agent, a policy mode, baseline and publisher lists, a place to send audit records, and platform support.

Nobody signs up for anything.
Self-service that begins with “create an account” is not self-service — that is the step which quietly turns it back into a ticket, because the account does not exist, or the password is stale, or the first thing the user meets during an incident is an enrolment form. Aran starts from the device instead.
IT enrols the fleet
Group Policy or MDM pushes the agent. The endpoint enrols itself and takes hardware-custodied identity on every platform — TPM on Windows and Linux, the Secure Enclave on Mac. The person at the laptop is never involved and needs no account.
On the machine itself, not even that
The sign-in above is only needed when the user is somewhere else. Standing at their own enrolled machine they browse their own twin with no sign-in at all: the agent answers “is this your twin?” from the identity it enrolled with, never from anything the request claims, and serves that one endpoint’s own catalogue, read-only, on an internal listener that is never published to the network.
Bytes back need a person, on purpose
An enrolled device writes backups and reads its own catalogue. It cannot pull data back out — that refusal is what stops a compromised laptop from exfiltrating your backup history using nothing but the machine’s own identity. Restoring is human-authenticated, and in an enterprise that is the sign-in your people already use every morning.
Two layers. Take one, or take both.
They answer different failures, which is why the honest recommendation is both. The local twin decides how much an agent can reach. The cloud twin decides what happens when something gets through anyway — or when the machine simply stops existing.
Use your laptop
Work the way you always have. When an agent wrecks a morning’s work — or the laptop is stolen, bricked, or sitting on the bench — your cloud twin is a browser away, backed up continuously to cloud or to your own data centre and immutable for its retention window.
Or don’t
Run the agent on a local twin instead: a copy-on-write clone of the machine you already use — same desktop, same applications, same configuration, same files — so nothing has to be rebuilt to work in it. Whatever the agent breaks, it breaks in the copy. Keep the files worth keeping; throw the rest away.
Either way, the cloud twin is still there. A browser away.
