Anchor the action to the incident
Connect the investigation and intended response to the evidence and authorized task.
AckuityRequest access USE CASE / SECURE SECURITY-OPERATIONS AGENTS
Accelerate response without handing over unchecked authority.
Security agents can investigate alerts and propose changes to critical systems. Verify the response action against the incident, runbook and delegated authority before it executes.
Early access. Already in paid production.
AUTHORIZED TASK
Investigate a suspicious endpoint connection.
SECURITY CONTEXT
The runbook permits isolating one endpoint. A global change requires additional authorization.

YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
Before you take the next step.
Is Ackuity a replacement for our SOC tools or response agent?
This use case describes securing agents that interact with those tools. Ackuity provides an execution trust layer; investigation and response workflows remain with your chosen systems.
Which response actions warrant additional review?
Examples include disabling controls, broad firewall changes, account suspension and actions beyond the approved runbook. Your policies determine which actions require review.
Can an agent investigate without permission to remediate?
Yes. Separate read access and investigation authority from permission to change systems. Verify each proposed action against the scope actually delegated.
