Operations teams are desperate to offload manual desktop workflows to autonomous agents, but corporate IT security forces them to block background agent access due to critical data exfiltration risks.

Cloakwork provides an air-gapped virtual desktop enclave where autonomous agents execute complex multi-step tasks without touching internal corporate networks. The platform automatically intercepts malicious prompt injections, redacts confidential data on the fly, and routes high-risk actions to a single-click approval queue. Operations teams gain 80% faster workflow completion while security teams maintain absolute visibility and compliance control.

Cloakwork is building the standard security execution layer for the enterprise autonomous workforce.

Problem
  • When I direct autonomous agents to process vendor portals and incoming invoices, I want background completion without manual clicking, but untrusted web documents trigger malicious prompt injections that expose internal database secrets to external endpoints costing $150k per breach risk.
  • Why Now: Background computer-use agents have reached mainstream operational utility, creating massive demand for enterprise-grade execution sandboxes.
  • When I delegate multi-application desktop workflows to digital assistants, I want complete execution visibility, but background agents perform unauthorized actions without audit trails, creating compliance violations that take 40 hours to remediate.
  • When I connect local desktop agents to company repositories, I want seamless document processing, but sensitive customer PII leaked into external models causes regulatory fines averaging $50k per incident.
  • Existing Alternatives: Manual data entry by offshore ops teams, fragile legacy RPA scripts, or banning background agent tools entirely.
Solution
  • High-Level Concept: An air-gapped execution sandbox and security proxy for background desktop agents.
  • Ephemeral Desktop Enclaves: Spin up isolated cloud virtual environments on demand to execute autonomous browser and desktop tasks without exposing local host memory or company credentials.
  • Real-Time Payload Scrubbing: Neutralize prompt injection payloads and redact PII from untrusted web pages before the agent ingests or acts upon the text.
  • Human-in-the-Loop Approval Vault: Pause high-risk actions like financial transfers or bulk exports until confirmed via one-click push notification.
Distribution
  • Early Adopters: Head of Security and VP of RevOps at mid-market SaaS companies with 100 to 1000 employees deploying background workflow agents.
  • Direct targeted outreach to CISOs and Security Architects who publish content regarding shadow agent usage and corporate network safety.
  • Strategic integration partnerships with enterprise security platforms and identity providers like Okta and Tailscale.
Pricing
  • Value Ladder: Starter ($49 per seat/month for 500 sandbox execution hours)
  • Business ($199 per seat/month with PII redaction and approval vaults)
  • Enterprise ($999 base/month + usage for dedicated enclave deployment and SOC2 audit streams).
  • One Metric That Matters [OMTM]: Total autonomous execution hours completed with zero safety breaches.
  • Market Sizing: SAM of 20k mid-market tech companies adopting agentic workflows; targeting 2% year 1 penetration (400 accounts) generating $2.4M ARR.
Scale Costs
  • Ephemeral cloud virtual desktop infrastructure hosting and high-performance streaming cluster costs.
  • Proprietary real-time payload analysis engines and continuous security audit logging infrastructure.
  • SOC2 Type II, HIPAA, and ISO27001 enterprise security compliance certifications and penetration testing retainers.
