Comparison
OpenSyber vs Modal
Modal is a strong compute layer. OpenSyber is the security and trust layer teams add when agent workloads hit production.
| Feature | OpenSyber | Modal |
|---|---|---|
| Primary focus | Runtime security platform for AI agents | Agent compute and sandbox execution |
| Runtime attestation feed | Built-in dashboard telemetry | Not native (requires custom wiring) |
| Verified skill marketplace | Security-audited + signed skills | No marketplace layer |
| Compliance evidence output | SOC 2 / ISO / HIPAA evidence flows | Infrastructure-level controls only |
| Device-bound agent auth | TokenForge cryptographic binding | Not included |
| Best use | Secure operations and governance | Fast execution and sandbox compute |
Use Modal + OpenSyber Together
- Keep Modal for sandbox execution and scaling.
- Add OpenSyber for runtime telemetry, policy controls, and security evidence.
- Use TokenForge for device-bound credentials across agent workflows.
When OpenSyber Alone Fits
- Security and governance are first-order requirements.
- You need an auditable skill supply chain, not just compute.
- You need one place for runtime, trust, and compliance workflows.
