Security from the start
Cybersecurity was one of the first areas I worked in. It shaped how I think about systems long before Oktsec and the current generation of AI agents.
ABOUT / PROFILE
I build security infrastructure for AI agents.
I’m Gustavo Aragón, founder of Oktsec. Cybersecurity was one of the first disciplines I worked in. Across more than 20 years, I expanded into product, fintech and regulated technology without leaving security behind.
At Brelo in Brazil, security was central to the device-locking technology we built and patented. Recurring jailbreak attempts made hardening, permissions and operational controls product requirements. I bring that same builder’s discipline to AI agents, MCP, automation and software supply chains.

SECURITY FOUNDATION / 02
A security practice built over decades.
Security as product
At Brelo in Brazil, security was central to the device-locking technology we built and patented. Repeated jailbreak attempts made hardening and operational controls core product work.
Disciplines converge
Oktsec brings together that security foundation with two decades of building products, fintech and regulated systems. The current focus is agent identity, execution and software supply chains.

PRINCIPLES / 05
How I decide what to build.
Security from day one
Built in from the first commit, not bolted on after the incident.
Product over process
The goal is something people can use safely, not a checklist.
Open by default
Tools the ecosystem can inspect, trust and improve.
