  • Preserve citations, provenance, workflow configurations, source versions, and audit records.
  • Protect workflows from untrusted inputs, prompt injection, unauthorized tool use, and data disclosure.
  • Test workflow logic, tool interactions, failure conditions, security boundaries, and end-to-end behavior.
  • Deploy and operate SI-enabled applications on containerized enterprise platforms.
  • Establish CI/CD and DevSecOps automation for SI-enabled applications and services.
  • Monitor workflow availability, latency, resource consumption, errors, and integration health.
  • Troubleshoot application, platform, database, and service-integration issues.
  • Support deployment in classified, disconnected, and air-gapped environments.
