Agent Baseline Publishes Security Reference Architecture for Software Factories

Agent Baseline published a reference architecture for securing software factories, systems where coding agents autonomously generate and deploy code at scale. The architecture treats agents as untrusted and enforces four security boundaries (sandbox, network, supply chain, and identity/access) through external infrastructure that agents cannot reconfigure, with policy authorization and infrastructure enforcement rather than reliance on agent self-limitation.

Why it matters: Engineering leaders and security architects deploying autonomous coding agents need this framework today: agents at major firms generate 25 to 70 percent of pull requests, can access credentials and delete production systems in seconds (as in the PocketOS incident), and require security controls outside their decision loop to prevent unauthorized supply chain access and lateral movement.
