AI-Native Database Security Proxy for PostgreSQL

Safe Boundary is Spectral Core’s AI-native database security proxy for PostgreSQL. It sits between AI agents and your database as a transparent proxy, intercepting every SQL query in real time. Depending on your policies, it blocks destructive operations, rewrites dangerous queries to preserve intent, masks PII automatically, and logs everything — with sub-millisecond overhead.

Traditional database firewalls rely on pattern matching, regex, and signature-based detection. Safe Boundary performs deep semantic SQL analysis using Spectral Core’s proprietary engine — built on 22 years of SQL parsing technology. It understands query structure, target objects, and intent. When it detects a dangerous query, it can rewrite it to be safe rather than just blocking it. No other product does this. Enforcement is deterministic and explainable.

Less than 1 millisecond. Safe Boundary’s proprietary analysis engine is 10x faster than the closest competitor (Formal.ai claims sub-10ms p50). The proxy is designed for inline critical-path deployment — operationally comparable to a connection pooler. Your application’s performance stays unaffected.

Safe Boundary supports PostgreSQL and PostgreSQL-compatible databases, including Supabase, AWS RDS, Google Cloud SQL, Azure Database for PostgreSQL, and self-hosted Postgres. Any database that speaks the PostgreSQL wire protocol is supported. Additional database engines are planned.

Change one port in your database connection string. No database extensions, no agents, no sidecars, no schema changes. On the free Starter tier, the proxy runs in Safe Boundary’s cloud. On paid plans (Pro and above), a lightweight proxy agent deploys inside your VPC — your database traffic never leaves your environment. The cloud control plane manages policies, AI model updates, and billing.

Yes. Safe Boundary uses AI-driven PII detection to identify sensitive data — names, emails, phone numbers, financial records, health information — without manual column tagging. Query results are rewritten in real time to mask this data before it reaches your application or AI agent. This is automatic, continuous, and requires no changes to your application code.

Every intercepted query is logged with full context — timestamp, user identity, action type, target objects, policy matched, and outcome (allowed, blocked, rewritten, or masked). You can search and filter across your entire query history by time range, user, action type, table, severity, and more. On paid plans, the admin interface runs on-prem alongside your proxy for sub-second search performance across millions of records. All log data stays in your environment — nothing leaves your network.

Yes. Safe Boundary’s dry-run mode lets you replay proposed policies against your historical query logs to see exactly what would have been blocked or rewritten — before you flip the switch. Measure the impact of any rule change against real production data without affecting live traffic.

Spectral Core holds ISO 27001 certification and SOC 2 Type II is actively in progress. Source code escrow is available at the Enterprise tier through established providers (NCC/EscrowTech). Enterprise+ customers get NDA-based source code audit rights — your designated auditor can review the codebase directly. Spectral Core has been in business since 2004 and is a Microsoft and Google partner. This is not a startup that will disappear after taking your money.
