Agent security. Not cloud security repackaged for a new headline.
A lot of security platforms are adding an “AI” tab to a product built for something else. Beam was built for one job: watch what AI coding agents actually do, and give the people responsible for them the evidence to act on it.
Why teams choose Beam
Scoped to agents, not infrastructure
Beam watches what an AI coding agent does — commands, files, tool calls, MCP and skill configs. It doesn't try to also be a CSPM, an EDR or a SIEM.
Local-first, evidence-first
The collector binds to loopback only and writes to local files with restrictive permissions. No telemetry leaves the machine by default.
Open-source core
Beam CLI is public and self-hostable. Read the code that watches your agents, or run it yourself.
Honest about what v1 does
Beam observes and flags. It does not block yet, and every solution page says so plainly rather than implying more than it ships.
