5-Layer Defense Architecture

Real-time intervention with audit-grade evidence. Layers 1-3 production ready, infrastructure layers (4-5) in active development.

L1

Rate Limiting

Available Now

Throttle AI requests from 100% → 50% → 25% → 0%

< 1 second
Response time
L2

Circuit Breaker

Available Now

Open circuit to block new requests, route to fallback

< 1 second
Response time
L3

AI Execution Stop

Central guard blocks all LLM calls, tool calls, and agent loops

< 1 second
Response time
L4

Network Block

In Development

Firewall rules to block all AI system traffic

< 10 seconds
Response time
L5

Database Revoke

In Development

Revoke database credentials, prevent data access

< 30 seconds
Response time

Choose Your Automation Level

From fully manual to intelligent automation. You set the rules, we execute them.

Semi-Automated Mode Recommended

Layers 1-2 (rate limiting, circuit breaker) auto-trigger for fast response. Layers 3-5 require human approval. Best balance of speed and control.

Auto-Triggered
  • • Layer 1: Rate limiting (throttle to 50% → 0%)
  • • Layer 2: Circuit breaker (block new requests)
  • • Response time: < 1 second
Requires Approval
  • • Layer 3: AI Execution Stop (blocks LLM/tool calls)
  • • Layer 4: Network block (firewall rules) - Roadmap
  • • Layer 5: Database revoke (credentials) - Roadmap

import { KillSwitch } from '@haiec/kill-switch';

// Initialize with your API key
const ks = new KillSwitch({
  apiKey: process.env.HAIEC_API_KEY,
  systemId: 'hiring-ai-prod',
  mode: 'semi-auto'
});

// Report metrics from your AI system
ks.reportMetrics({

  biasScore: 0.15,     // Within acceptable range
  latencyP95: 2.3      // Seconds

// SDK auto-triggers if thresholds exceeded
// Or manually trigger:
await ks.trigger({

Hiring AI

Problem

Bias score exceeded 20% threshold

Solution

Circuit breaker opened, HR notified instantly

Could avoid discrimination lawsuits

Trading AI

Problem

Anomalous trading pattern detected

Solution

Full kill in 15 seconds, positions frozen

Could prevent multi-million dollar losses
