Common User Interface for AI Agents

The Cyber Risk Agents Common User Interface provides a unified workspace to discovering, activating, and managing AI-powered cyber risk agents. From a single interface, users can configure agents, assign and monitor tasks, and review outcomes that help prioritize and reduce risk across the environment.

The Cyber Risk Agents tab includes three subtabs: My Agents, All Agents, and Marketplace. You can hire an agent from the Marketplace. The agents hired for your account can be viewed in the My Agents tab.
