The Problem with Traditional RPA & Ungoverned Agents

• Brittle automations. Selectors and APIs change; scripts break when UIs shift.
• API gaps. Legacy, desktop, and mainframe tools often lack modern APIs.
• Endpoint risk. Bots and browsers run on laptops/VMs, expanding the attack surface.
• Limited governance. Hard to provide identity, RBAC, least privilege, DLP, and approvals to bots.
• Poor observability. Few audit trails; reproducing failures is slow.
• Pilot purgatory. Hard to graduate from lab to production due to security/compliance blockers.
• Hidden TCO. VM sprawl, image management, and scattered tooling inflate costs.

Without a secure execution boundary and unified controls, automation remains fragile, risky, and hard to scale.

The Sonet.io Difference

Application Delivery for Humans and Agents

Run vision agents inside Sonet’s secure workspace, right alongside your workforce, so you can scale automation without adding infrastructure or risk.

• Sonet-controlled browser workspace. Vision agents run inside a Sonet-controlled browser that we harden, isolate, and keep patched. We secure the browser itself and enforce policy in the session. Stream Windows apps, virtual desktops, and internal tools in an air-gapped workspace with no installs.
• Built to resist agent-browser exploits. Vision agents do not bring their own “agentic browser.” They operate inside Sonet’s controlled browser, which protects from prompt injection attacks and protects data in the session by design.
• Unified Zero Trust. Enforce identity (SSO+MFA), least‑privilege access, and fine‑grained DLP (copy/paste, download, watermark) for agents and users.
• Full observability. Capture searchable session recordings for both users and agents.
• Legacy‑ready. Automate where APIs don’t exist; agents “see and click” the UI with governance.
• Agent Studio. Build, test, and approve vision agents with guided workflows and policy inheritance.
• Global scale. SaaS delivery elastically scales to any number of users and agents worldwide.

You get automation that’s secure by design, observable by default, and fast to deploy without the cost and complexity of traditional stacks.

Key Benefits

• Faster time‑to‑value. Start automating in weeks, not quarters; authenticate the agent and stream apps immediately.
• Policy parity for agents. Apply the same authentication, access, and DLP controls used for employees.
• Works where APIs don’t. Extend automation to Windows apps, virtual desktops, mainframes, and internal tools, including databases and files, all inside the secure workspace.
• Air‑gap & data protection. Keep data in the workspace with watermarking, clipboard controls, and download restrictions.
• Unified observability. Searchable recordings and event trails accelerate audits and troubleshooting.
• BYOD & third‑party friendly. Contractors and partners can run governed agents without touching endpoints.
• Compliance‑ready foundation. Compliance‑ready foundation. Consistent enforcement boundary simplifies risk reviews and approvals.
• Examples of apps and workflows:
  Microsoft Dynamics: AX and GP, plus Dynamics 365 modules
  Autodesk: AutoCAD and Inventor, legacy and current versions
  Finance and ops tools: ERPs, claims, reconciliation, licensing portals
  Virtual desktops: governed access to desktop workflows that mix databases and files
