What is Agentic Remediation?
From known risk to proven fix, governed at every step
AI is surfacing vulnerabilities and operational risk faster than remediation teams can respond. Agentic remediation closes that gap.
What is agentic remediation?
Agentic remediation is a governed approach to acting on known risk. AI agents take on the reasoning-heavy coordination work: deciding what to fix first, planning the change around real constraints, checking readiness and documenting the outcome. Deterministic automation carries out the approved change. People keep approval authority wherever the consequence is real.
Remediation is broader than patching. When a patch is not available or not safe to apply, a configuration change or a compensating control can close the exposure instead. For equipment past end of life, the honest answer is replacement. The approach picks the path that fits the asset and the risk in front of it.
Capabilities within agentic remediation
Bring intelligence, automation and governance together to identify the right remediation path and act on risk with greater speed, consistency and control.
Agentic patching Wave-based campaigns inside real change windows, with pre-checks, post-checks and automatic rollback. | Configuration and compensating controls Close the exposure when a patch is not available or not yet safe, and record why. |
Device replacement Route end-of-life equipment into the refresh motion instead of forcing a fix that will not hold. | Governed execution and evidence Approval gates where governance requires them, and audit-ready proof captured as the work happens. |
Why traditional approaches to remediation stop short
Most enterprises already run on two things: A patch tool that sees the work, and a group of people who decide what to do about it. Neither closes the loop between them at the speed risk now moves.
