Action at machine speed, judgement from a human

Policy-bounded automated containment — host isolation, identity revocation, and configuration remediation — with every action reviewed and fully audited.

01 / The problem

Detection without action just documents the breach

Spotting a threat is only half the job. Without a defined containment policy, action waits for someone to notice, decide, and manually intervene — and attackers move faster than that.

Manual containment is slow

Every minute spent deciding is a minute an attacker keeps moving.

Full automation is risky

Unchecked automated action can cause its own outages and damage.

02 / What you get

Six capabilities, safely bounded

Policy-bounded automation

Only actions you've explicitly authorised can run without a human.

Human approval gates

Anything outside agreed policy waits for a person to decide.

Host isolation

Cut off a compromised device from the network in seconds.

Identity revocation

Suspend a compromised credential before it's used again.

Patch & config remediation

Close the specific gap an exposure relied on.

Full audit trail

Every action — automated or human-approved — is logged for review.

03 / How it works

Bounded, reversible, verified

STEP 01

Trigger

A confirmed threat matches a pre-agreed containment policy.

STEP 02

Act

The bounded action executes immediately — isolate, revoke, or block.

STEP 03

Review

A SOC analyst reviews the action, typically within the same shift.

STEP 04

Reverse or close

Actions are reversed if unnecessary, or the incident is formally closed.

04 / Machine speed, human judgement

Two layers, working together

Machine speed

What runs automatically

  • Actions explicitly pre-authorised in your policy
  • Reversible, bounded, and logged instantly
  • Executes in seconds, not hours
Human judgement

What waits for a person

  • Anything outside agreed policy scope
  • Actions with meaningful business impact
  • Review of every automated action taken

08 / FAQ

Common questions

Only actions you've explicitly authorised in writing can run automatically — anything outside that scope requires human approval.
Yes — containment actions like host isolation are designed to be reversible once an analyst confirms the threat is resolved or was a false positive.
A SOC analyst reviews every automated action, typically within the same shift it occurred.
Response & Remediation is the containment layer within Managed Detection & Response — it's not sold separately.
Common examples include host isolation, credential revocation, and blocking a malicious connection — the exact list is agreed during onboarding.
Yes — every automated and human-approved action is logged with timestamp, trigger, and outcome.
