Active Remediation
for the Agentic Enterprise

Detect, diagnose, remediate, and verify risks and operational issues across code, AI agents, software delivery, cloud, Kubernetes, and production.

Protect what humans and AI agents build, change, deploy, and run.

What Is Active Remediation?

What Is Active Remediation?

Active Remediation is the ability to move from a finding, alert, failed deployment, policy violation, or runtime issue to a verified fix using system context, diagnostics, policy guardrails, remediation agents, and verification.

Detection finds the problem.·Active Remediation fixes it and proves it worked.
01

Detect Real Issues

Continuously ingest signals from code scanners, cloud posture tools, runtime systems, deployment pipelines, and AI agent actions — filtered by context so only real risks surface.

02

Diagnose Root Cause

Before any action runs, understand root cause, blast radius, ownership, dependencies, and business impact. Diagnosis turns a raw alert into an actionable, scoped remediation decision.

03

Remediate Safely

Specialized AI agents generate fixes, create pull requests, repair configurations, and execute workflows — within policy boundaries, with human approval where the risk profile demands it.

04

Verify Outcomes

Every remediation closes with validation: the issue is resolved, no new risk was introduced, application health is preserved, and audit evidence is captured automatically.

The Problem

Why Detection Alone Is Not Enough

Finding problems is only the beginning. The gap between detection and verified resolution is where risk lives.

Findings do not fix systems

A scanner report, dashboard alert, or email notification does nothing to the underlying risk. Every day between detection and fix is a day of exposure.

Tickets create delay

Jira tickets, Slack threads, and email chains add friction. By the time a developer picks up a vulnerability, the context is stale and the blast radius has grown.

AI agents can make unsafe changes

Coding assistants, deployment bots, and autonomous agents operate at machine speed — and can introduce vulnerabilities, policy violations, or unauthorized changes.

Cloud and runtime drift continuously

Infrastructure drifts from its declared state every day. Misconfigured buckets, over-privileged roles, and vulnerable workloads accumulate faster than manual review can clear them.

Teams lack code-to-cloud context

A CVE in a dependency may be unexploitable. A misconfigured S3 bucket may back a critical service. Without context, every finding looks equally urgent and equally unclear.

Fixes are rarely verified

Even when a fix is applied, no one confirms it worked. Partial patches, missed dependencies, and silent regressions are common — and unknown until the next incident.

The Process

The Active Remediation Loop

Six stages that transform raw risk signals into verified outcomes — continuously, across every domain.

01

Detect

Collect risks, alerts, failures, policy violations, and unsafe actions from code, cloud, pipelines, agents, and runtime.

02

Diagnose

Understand root cause, blast radius, ownership, dependencies, and business impact before any action is proposed.

03

Plan

Select the safest remediation path — accounting for policy constraints, human approval requirements, and downstream impact.

04

Act

Generate fixes, create PRs, update configuration, trigger workflows, or apply compensating controls within approved scope.

05

Verify

Confirm the issue is resolved, no new risk was introduced, and system health — security, compliance, and operations — is preserved.

06

Learn

Feed remediation outcomes and operational feedback into the context engine to sharpen future detection, diagnosis, and prioritisation.

Active Remediation Across the Lifecycle

From first commit to live production — remediation at every stage, not just at the perimeter.

01

Code & Agents

Secure human-written and AI-generated code, agent actions, pull requests, secrets, and dependencies before they reach downstream systems.

02

Build & Supply Chain

Remediate vulnerable dependencies, unsafe artifacts, build risks, and supply chain policy violations before software leaves the build system.

Runtime & Production

Remediate production risk, runtime exposure, incidents, vulnerable workloads, and operational failures without disrupting live services.

Human-Guided or Autonomous

Human-Guided or Autonomous

Active Remediation should adapt to risk. Low-risk fixes can be automated. High-risk production changes require human approval, policy checks, and verification evidence.

The control ladder defines how much automation is appropriate for each type of change — from a simple recommendation to fully verified autonomous execution.

Platform Capabilities

Built on Context, Diagnostics, Agents, Actions, and Verification

Five connected capabilities that power the full Active Remediation loop.

A
Foundation

Context Engine

Understands software topology, delivery pipelines, cloud infrastructure, runtime state, policy rules, ownership, and business context — so every remediation decision is fully informed.

B
Intelligence

Pre-Remediation Diagnostics

Diagnoses root cause, blast radius, risk score, dependency impact, and safe remediation paths before any action is proposed or executed — preventing fixes that introduce new problems.

C
Execution

Remediation Agents

Specialized AI agents — one per domain — generate code fixes, create pull requests, repair configurations, trigger workflows, and coordinate multi-step remediation with full contextual awareness.

D
Control

Safe Actions

Executes approved changes across code, cloud, delivery pipelines, Kubernetes, and runtime systems — governed by policy, scoped to approved blast radius, and always within defined control limits.

E
Assurance

Verification

Proves the remediation worked — security posture restored, policy compliance confirmed, no regressions introduced, application health preserved, and tamper-evident audit evidence captured.

Business Outcomes

Active Remediation Outcomes

Measurable results for security, platform, and engineering teams.

MTTR
Minutes vs days

Reduce Mean Time to Remediate

Context-aware diagnosis and AI-generated fixes cut MTTR from days to minutes by eliminating manual triage and developer context-switching.

Risk
Continuous reduction

Lower Production Risk

Continuous remediation across cloud, runtime, and Kubernetes keeps production exposure low — not just measured and reported, but resolved.

Velocity
Security as enabler

Accelerate Secure Delivery

Automated remediations and pre-deployment diagnostics remove security friction from delivery pipelines — security becomes an accelerator, not a gate.

Control
Safe AI operations

Govern AI Agent Actions

Policy guardrails and human approval workflows ensure AI agents operate within defined boundaries — unlocking automation without sacrificing oversight.

Signal
Quality over volume

Reduce Alert Fatigue

Context-aware prioritisation surfaces only the findings that matter, paired with a clear remediation path — so teams act instead of triaging endlessly.

Audit
Always audit-ready

Improve Compliance Evidence

Every remediation generates a tamper-evident audit trail: finding, diagnosis, approvals, actions taken, and verification results — audit-ready by default.
