Agentic cybersecurity uses AI agents to investigate security evidence, carry out permitted actions, and verify the result. In Vigilbase, these steps run on the cybersecurity operating system, connected to the security tools your team already pays for. People agree the operating scope and authority. Analysts handle exceptions, unsupported actions, and decisions that need human judgment.

How does agentic cybersecurity work?

The workflow has three parts: find, fix, and verify. An agent gathers evidence from connected systems and investigates what happened. It then carries out a supported action within the agreed permissions. After the change, it checks the result and records the outcome. When evidence is incomplete or an action needs approval, the investigation goes to an analyst.
1.Find: connect relevant evidence and investigate the issue.
2.Fix: make a supported change within the agreed authority.
3.Verify: check the outcome and record what changed.

Which systems does Vigilbase connect to?

The Vigilbase Platform has native connectors for edge, identity, endpoint, network, cloud, and email security, including Cloudflare, Akamai, Fastly, Imperva, Microsoft 365 and Entra ID, Google Workspace, Okta, CrowdStrike Falcon, SentinelOne, Microsoft Defender XDR, Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet, Zscaler, AWS, Google Cloud, Proofpoint, and Mimecast. Available evidence and actions differ by integration. Live response actions run where the platform supports them, Cloudflare today; elsewhere, the investigation returns the steps for your team. Connecting a data source does not mean every setting can be changed automatically. The integration directory and onboarding scope define what is available.

How are changes controlled?

Before work begins, the operating scope defines the connected accounts, permitted actions, and approval requirements. Agents work within those limits. New, unsupported, or potentially disruptive changes go to analysts. Business, legal, and policy decisions remain with your organization. Verification is part of the workflow, so an attempted action is not treated as proof that the issue is resolved.

How does this compare with an MSSP or SIEM?

An MSSP is a service provider; a SIEM collects and correlates security events. Their capabilities vary, and either can include investigation and response. Agentic cybersecurity describes how work is performed: AI agents connect evidence, take authorized action, and check the outcome. Vigilbase runs that workflow on a cybersecurity operating system, with analysts handling exceptions. It uses the security tools you already pay for rather than requiring every existing system to be replaced.

Where does Cloudflare fit?

Cloudflare provides controls at the edge, including WAF, DNS, and application protection. Vigilbase connects to Cloudflare to investigate issues and operate supported controls within the agreed scope. Vigilbase also sells Cloudflare Enterprise and provides Managed Cloudflare. Licensing, account operation, and the platform workflow can be discussed together during onboarding.
