Cogent: Agentic AI for Exposure Management

The Execution Gap in Exposure Management

Security teams don not struggle to find vulnerabilities - scanners, CNAPPs, and monitoring tools generate millions of findings. The struggle is everything that happens after: deduplicating alerts across tools, prioritizing based on actual risk in your environment, figuring out who owns which assets, creating tickets engineering will act on, managing exceptions, proving fixes, and reporting progress to leadership.

Cogent is built for this execution gap. We are an agentic AI exposure management platform that turns fragmented findings into a prioritized action queue and drives remediation to closure with evidence, governance, and human control built in.

Built for Vulnerability and Exposure Program Managers

If you are responsible for vulnerability, exposure, or CTEM outcomes across multiple teams, tools, and environments, Cogent helps you:

1. Reduce duplicate work from overlapping scanner outputs
2. Investigate asset ownership automatically when CMDB data is incomplete
3. Create remediation tickets that bundle related issues the way engineering actually fixes them
4. Track exceptions and risk acceptances within the remediation workflow
5. Prove exposure reduction with evidence-backed reporting
6. Spend less time on manual triage and more time on strategic risk reduction

Key Capabilities

Unified Asset and Exposure Inventory: Connect vulnerability scanners, cloud security tools, asset discovery, and application security sources. Cogent normalizes data, handles conflicts, and maintains freshness tracking so you have reliable ground truth.

Risk-Based Prioritization: Move beyond CVSS scores. Cogent evaluates exploitability, internet exposure, compensating controls, and business impact to surface what actually matters in your environment - with explainable reasoning you can defend to engineering and leadership.

Automated Investigation and Routing: When asset ownership is unclear or outdated, our agents investigate using the same signals humans would: code owners, service manifests, ticketing history, and employee outreach. This eliminates the manual detective work that slows down remediation.

Remediation Work Packaging: Engineering teams do not want a CVE firehose. Cogent bundles related vulnerabilities into coherent remediation actions aligned to how teams actually ship fixes, with clear context, step-by-step guidance, and business rationale.

Governed Automation with Human Control: Review, edit, and approve before tickets go out. Set policy boundaries, maintain approval workflows, and preserve an auditable trail of decisions. Cogent is not autopilot, it is augmented execution.

Evidence-Based Closure and Reporting: Attach proof of remediation, track exceptions cleanly, and generate executive-ready dashboards and narratives. Show risk reduction with credible metrics, not just activity counts.

Why Cogent Is Different

Built for work completion, not just discovery. While most platforms help you understand exposure, Cogent helps you get exposure work done.

AI agents that investigate and coordinate. Not just summarization or chat, Cogent AI agents perform multi-step workflows, gather context, and produce auditable outputs.

Designed for messy reality. Works with incomplete CMDB data, overlapping tools, and federated teams. Adapts to your actual processes.

Human authority preserved. Review and approve workflows, confidence scoring, and explainable reasoning keep security teams in control while AI handles time-intensive tasks.

Use Cases

1. Accelerate zero-day response by quickly identifying affected assets and routing remediation work
2. Improve SLA compliance by reducing bounced tickets and ownership confusion
3. Reduce backlog aging through higher remediation throughput
4. Support compliance and audit requirements with evidence-backed closure tracking
5. Free security teams from manual triage to focus on strategic initiatives

Integration Ecosystem

Cogent integrates with vulnerability scanners (Qualys, Tenable, Rapid7), cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), CNAPP/CSPM solutions, CMDB/asset management, ticketing systems (Jira, ServiceNow), and communication tools (Slack, Microsoft Teams).
