What is Egress record?

An egress record is a log of every outbound network call an AI deployment makes, including the destination, the payload class and the time - or a signed statement that no outbound call occurred. It turns 'your data stays here' from a promise into evidence.

Also known as: outbound data log, AI data egress.

Auditors and security teams rarely dispute intentions; they ask for proof. An egress record is the cheapest proof to produce and the hardest to fake, which is why it is becoming standard in sovereign and government deployments.

How Uthereal handles it

Uthereal on-premise deployments ship an egress record by default, showing the absence of outbound traffic rather than asserting it.
