Brigs vs Noma Security

Noma Security ($100M raised) does runtime agent protection — blocking bad actions in production. Brigs does pre-deployment governance evaluation — evaluating configs, generating remediation PRs, and producing compliance evidence. They operate at different layers and complement each other.

Key Differences

1

Brigs is upstream (config-time governance), Noma is downstream (runtime protection). Both are valuable layers in a defense-in-depth strategy.

2

Brigs discovers agent configurations in code before they run via the Agent Governance Map. Noma's Agentic Risk Map discovers agents already running in production.

3

Brigs generates verified remediation pull requests that fix governance issues automatically. Noma generates runtime alerts when bad actions are detected.

4

Brigs maps to 5 compliance frameworks (OWASP Agentic, EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, SOC 2). Noma maps to OWASP and DASF.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between Brigs and Noma?

Brigs evaluates agent governance pre-deployment — scanning agent framework configs, evaluating controls, and generating remediation PRs. Noma protects agents at runtime by blocking bad actions in production. They operate at different layers of the stack.

Can I use both Brigs and Noma?

Yes — they complement each other perfectly. Brigs ensures governance is correct before deployment (config-time), while Noma provides runtime protection after deployment. Together they form a complete defense-in-depth strategy.

Does Brigs do runtime protection?

No — Brigs evaluates governance posture pre-deployment. It scans agent framework configurations, evaluates them against compliance controls, and generates verified remediation PRs. For runtime protection, consider pairing Brigs with a runtime solution like Noma.
