Cogent Security launches autonomous vulnerability response tools as AI-assisted exploits outpace scanners
Cogent Security Inc., a startup that employs agentic artificial intelligence for vulnerability management, today launched two new platform capabilities aimed at compressing enterprise vulnerability response from weeks to hours, as AI-assisted exploit development shrinks attacker timelines to a matter of minutes.
The company introduced Zero Day Response and Autonomous Remediation, two features designed to close the operational gap between a vulnerability being disclosed and a confirmed fix being in place. Zero Day Response identifies exposure within minutes of public disclosure, without waiting for scanner signatures to ship. Autonomous Remediation determines the right fix for each affected asset, runs a preflight business impact assessment and then verifies that the vulnerability is actually resolved after the patch or configuration change is applied.
Zero Day Response ingests intelligence from formal Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures advisories, pre-CVE disclosures and supply chain disclosures, then cross-references new findings against a customer’s complete software inventory to identify where exposure exists. Each finding is scored against the customer’s own environment rather than against generic severity ratings. Cogent’s AI agents triage the signal automatically as it arrives.
