For decades, infrastructure security focused primarily on: network perimeters endpoint detection observability systems post-execution analysis reactive security tooling That operational model assumed execution itself could be trusted by default. Modern autonomous systems invalidate that assumption.

Modern systems still operate under a fundamentally broken assumption: that execution can occur first and governance can occur later. That model no longer scales to autonomous systems, AI inference environments, distributed runtime orchestration or regulated compute infrastructure. Observability after execution is not governance. Logging is not authorization. Monitoring is not runtime control. The execution layer itself has now become the primary infrastructure trust boundary.
