Why the Rename?

Claude Cortex started as a memory system. But once your agent has persistent memory, that memory becomes an attack surface β€” poisoned web pages, malicious emails, and hidden instructions can persist across sessions. Security isn't optional, it's the other half of the product. ShieldCortex reflects what it actually is: a brain with armour.

Migration

Your existing memory database is preserved. ShieldCortex reads the same SQLite store.
