Agentic Vulnerability Management
Gather. Understand. Assign. Remediate. Demonstrate.
The Operating Loop
The GUARD Loop turns reactive vulnerability management into a continuous, governed workflow. Every finding moves through the same five accountable stages — from ingestion to verified closure — under policy guardrails.
Aggregate and Normalize Findings
SIEM, EDR, cloud posture, and custom scanners feed into one normalized case layer. Agents deduplicate, correlate with asset inventory, and preserve context from discovery to closure — so nothing slips through the cracks.
Prioritize for Your Environment
Environment-aware scoring collapses thousands of findings into a small, ordered queue. CVSS, EPSS, KEV, asset criticality, exposure, and business context are blended into a single actionable priority — no more spreadsheet triage.
Route and Assign by Policy
Policy-driven routing resolves the right owner, starts the SLA clock, and fast-tracks criticals. Tickets carry full context — scanner evidence, affected assets, and recommended remediation — into Jira, ServiceNow, or your workflow tool.
Fix Inside Guardrails
Approved fixes run inside a scoped blast radius. Dry-run and canary stages validate changes before production rollout. Human approval gates and environment scoping keep remediation from becoming a new source of risk.
Verify and Prove
Re-scans confirm closure; every step becomes audit-ready evidence. Verification agents validate fixes, reopen on regression, and produce evidence chains suitable for SOC 2, ISO 27001, and internal audit.
Guardrails
Autonomous agents are powerful, but power without constraints creates risk. The GUARD Loop wraps every stage in environment scoping, human approval gates, and a complete audit trail.
You decide the blast radius per agent: prod vs dev vs cloud. Agents never act outside their authorized scope.
Agents pause for authorization on critical systems. No autonomous change reaches production without an approved workflow.
What, why, when — logged for SOC 2 and ISO 27001. Every finding, decision, and action is traceable.
