Agentic Exposure Management

Zafran agents run the exposure lifecycle end to end: they hunt zero-day exposure, validate exploitability, find asset owners, analyze impact and draft the report, then wait for a human to approve the action. Not a chatbot; autonomous workflows with guardrails.

Capabilities

How Zafran Enables Agentic Exposure Management

Autonomous AI agents that investigate, validate and mobilize across the entire lifecycle with human oversight.

Cap 1

Top Exploitable Vulnerabilities

An agent continuously assembles the short list of exposures attackers can use right now, with evidence and a recommended action.

Cap 2

Zero-Day Exposure Hunting

When a new CVE or exploit drops, the agent checks runtime presence, reachability and control coverage across the estate in minutes.

Cap 3

Exploitability Validation

The agent proves or rules out exploitability step by step, then routes the verdict into mitigation or remediation.

Cap 4

Asset Ownership

The agent resolves who owns an exposed asset from CMDB, cloud tags, code repositories and ticket history.

Use cases

All six use cases

Each agent runs the same loop: trigger, investigate, gather evidence, propose, wait for approval. One UI micro-animation per tile.

Use case 1

Top Exploitable Vulnerabilities

A living short list of what attackers can exploit today, refreshed as runtime, reachability and intel change.

Use case 2

Zero-Day Exposure Hunting

Minutes after disclosure: which assets load the component, which are reachable, which controls already block it.

Use case 3

Exploitability Validation

Evidence-backed verdicts per exposure, handed to mitigation or remediation with the reasoning attached.

Use case 4

Asset Ownership

Owner resolution across CMDB, tags, repos and tickets so every fix has a name on it.

Use case 5

Impact Analysis

Trace what an exploited asset could reach: connected systems, data stores and business services.

Use case 6

Reporting

Agents draft the exposure report with evidence, timestamps and trend deltas, ready for a human to review and send.

Workflow

How it works

  1. 01

    Trigger

    A new CVE, a threat-intel alert, a schedule or an analyst request starts an agent run.

  2. 02

    Investigate and validate

    The agent queries the Exposure Graph, runtime data, reachability and control state, and records its evidence.

  3. 03

    Propose, approve, mobilize

    It proposes mitigation or remediation, an approver signs off, and the action flows through your existing tools.

Compare

Zafran vs. the alternatives

Zafran runs the whole lifecycle on one Exposure Graph; alternatives cover a slice of it.

Trust

Trust and guardrails

Autonomy with limits: agents recommend, humans approve, data stays put.

Data stays in your Zafran tenant

Customer data is processed in Zafran's AWS environment with strict per-tenant isolation.

No model training on customer data

Zafran does not use customer data to train or fine-tune models.

Human-in-the-loop by default

Agents investigate and prepare actions; a named approver signs off before anything changes in your environment.

FAQ

Agentic Exposure Management: questions buyers ask

What is agentic exposure management?

The use of autonomous AI agents to run the threat exposure management lifecycle: discovering and validating exposures, finding owners, analyzing impact, proposing mitigation or remediation and drafting reports, with a human approving actions. Zafran agents operate on the same Exposure Graph as the rest of the platform.

How is this different from an AI security copilot or chatbot?

A copilot answers questions when asked. Zafran agents run multi-step workflows on their own triggers, gather evidence from runtime, reachability and control data, and hand a human a decision, not a chat transcript.

Can Zafran agents take action in my environment without approval?

By default, no. Agents investigate, validate and prepare actions; a named approver signs off before a control is changed or a ticket is executed. Approval policies are configurable per customer.

Where is my data processed, and is it used to train AI models?

Data is processed in Zafran's AWS environment with strict per-tenant isolation. Zafran does not train or fine-tune models on customer data.

Which use cases do Zafran agents cover today?

Top Exploitable Vulnerabilities, Zero-Day Exposure Hunting, Exploitability Validation, Asset Ownership, Impact Analysis and Reporting.

How do agents help with zero-day response?

On disclosure, the zero-day hunting agent checks which assets load the affected component, which are reachable, and which existing controls already block the exploit, then proposes mitigations for the rest, typically within minutes.
