Intutic vs Forge
Forge is an enterprise AI-agent governance platform: discovery and inventory of agents across an org, identity management for AI agents and non-human identities, and policy enforcement wherever it has an in-path surface — endpoint sensors, network/gateway controls, identity providers, and connected security tooling (EDR, SASE, SIEM). It is the closest direct competitor to Intutic of anything we've evaluated.
The Core Difference
Forge's architecture is broad by design: connect existing security infrastructure (CrowdStrike, Okta, Palo Alto, Netskope, LiteLLM, and others), fuse that into an inventory and identity graph, then enforce wherever a connected source gives it a control point. Its own documentation is explicit that it can only block a pending action when the enforcement surface supports it — an observed source gives evidence, not control.
Intutic takes the opposite starting point: be the in-path surface itself, purpose-built for developer and infrastructure agents. The Rust proxy and hook gate intercept the actual tool call — filesystem writes, shell commands, MCP tool invocations — locally, synchronously, without depending on a connected EDR or network appliance to have visibility into that specific action.
Forge assembles enforcement points from your existing security stack. Intutic is a purpose-built enforcement point.
Comparison
| Capability | Intutic | Forge |
|---|---|---|
| Enforcement model | Local proxy + hook gate, in-process, synchronous | Policy engine evaluated at whichever connected surface has the pending action in path (endpoint, network, gateway) |
| Policy actions | BYPASS / ENHANCE / HIJACK / KILL | 7 typed actions: allow, nudge, flag_for_review, redact, filter, require_approval, block |
| Fail behavior | Proxy connectivity to control plane fails closed by config default; individual hook-gate checks fail open internally | Malformed/timing-out/undefined policy fails closed to block |
| MCP governance | Dedicated MCP governance proxy package | MCP Gateway with default-deny registry ACLs, pre-tool identity + argument evaluation, per-tool enable/disable |
| Coding-agent support | 41 harnesses out-of-the-box, harness-native adapters | Claude Code and Cursor named, via network interception rather than harness instrumentation |
| Audit trail | Merkle-sealed trace roots with browser-side signature verification, hourly sealing sweep | SHA-256 hash-chain ledger, DB-enforced immutability, scheduled integrity verifier |
| SIEM/export | 6 native destinations — Splunk HEC, Syslog/CEF, Datadog, S3, GCS, generic webhook — with retry/DLQ | Native Splunk (HEC) and S3 export, SOAR webhooks (Tines, Google SecOps) |
| Identity model | SSO-group privilege resolution at the hook gate; sandbox attestation as a gateable signal | Proprietary agent identity records; cloud/IAM non-human-identity inventory across AWS/Azure/GCP/GitHub |
| On-prem / air-gapped | Documented deployment guides | No such terms found anywhere in Forge's public docs as of this writing — treat as unconfirmed until stated otherwise |
| Device/endpoint enforcement | CA trust injection, MDM manifest generation, phone-home staleness reporting | Generic "managed device" coverage via connected EDR; no comparable native detail documented |
| Plan/action governance evidence | Approve/reject/close lifecycle with role gates, deviation logging, EU AI Act Art. 14-oriented evidence | Not found in public documentation |
| Compliance probes | Automated, hourly, SOC2-style checks against live workspace state | Not found in public documentation |
| Continuous verification of the enforcement layer itself | Silent-gate detection — infers a gate has stopped gating from the absence of data; guard-liveness probes queryable via API | Not found in public documentation |
| Pricing | Open core, transparent | No public pricing found — sales-quote only |
What Forge Does Better Today
Be direct about this: Forge's audit ledger and broad identity/inventory story are real and more complete than what Intutic ships today in those specific areas. SIEM export itself is now comparable (both ship native Splunk destinations and object-storage export); Forge's SOAR webhook integrations (Tines, Google SecOps) are named integrations Intutic does not have a direct equivalent to — Intutic's generic webhook destination can reach the same tools, just without a purpose-built connector. If your immediate need is enterprise-wide AI discovery plus routing enforcement through infrastructure you already run (EDR, network, identity), Forge's connector model gets there faster.
When to Choose Intutic
- Your agents are developer/infrastructure agents (Claude Code, Cursor, CI/CD, internal MCP servers) and you want the enforcement point itself, not an assembly of connectors
- You need action-level enforcement independent of whether your EDR, network appliance, or identity provider happens to have that specific call in its path
- You want device-level enforcement (CA trust, MDM) without deploying a full EDR agent
- You want an open-core enforcement engine you can read and audit, not a closed proprietary policy service
- You need plan/action-level EU AI Act Art. 14-oriented evidence today, not on a roadmap
When to Choose Forge
- You need enterprise-wide AI agent discovery and shadow-AI detection across an org, not just the developer/infra surface
- You already run a mature security stack (CrowdStrike, Okta, Palo Alto/Netskope) and want to route AI-agent policy through it
- You need packaged SIEM/SOAR export today
- Your buying motion is top-down through IT/security rather than bottom-up through engineering
