Integrated Cyber Solutions Files Patent for AI Agent Security Framework MASQ

Integrated Cyber Solutions, doing business as Integrated Quantum Technologies, announced in a press release that it has initiated the patent process for MASQ, short for Machine Action Security Quotient. MASQ is described as a governance and security framework created for AI agents and autonomous AI systems.

The framework is built to manage four main control areas: the permissions and actions an AI agent can perform, the enterprise systems and data it can access, the way it interacts with APIs and external tools, and the protection of sensitive information within its reasoning environment during machine to machine operations.

MASQ is intended to serve as a governance layer for enterprise AI deployments, addressing the growing need for oversight and protection as autonomous AI agents move from pilot projects into production environments.
