‍A behind-the-scenes look at how our autonomous security agents resolve vulnerabilities in real time.

The Gap Between Detection and Resolution

Modern security teams are under siege—not from a lack of data, but from too much of it. Scanners constantly detect new vulnerabilities, yet most tools leave remediation up to manual workflows. The gap between detection and resolution is growing wider by the day.

Security leaders need more than dashboards. They need outcomes.

This blog explains how Opus’s specialized AI security agents work in harmony to close that gap, transforming alerts into resolved vulnerabilities without operational drag.

The Opus Agent Framework: A Fleet Built for Action

At the core of Opus’s autonomous security platform is a team of six intelligent agents. Together, they form a closed-loop remediation system, replacing static playbooks with dynamic, real-time decision-making.

Each agent plays a distinct role in the lifecycle:

The Research Agent triages findings using exploitability, business impact, and threat intelligence. The Context Agent identifies who should fix the issue by analyzing ownership structures. The Governance Agent checks SLAs, compliance policies, and triggers any necessary escalation rules. The Remediation Agent then proposes or executes the fix, while the Orchestration Agent handles task handoffs and resolution confirmation. Finally, the Collaboration Agent brings the whole flow into tools like Jira and Slack.

From Alert to Fix: A Step-by-Step Remediation Workflow

Use Case: Publicly Accessible S3 Bucket

1. Detection

A cloud security scanner identifies a misconfigured S3 bucket. The finding is ingested into Opus via an integration with AWS Security Hub.

2. Research Agent Analysis

The Research Agent determines that this is an actively exploitable misconfiguration tied to sensitive data. It flags the issue for high-priority remediation.

3. Ownership Assignment

The Context Agent maps the bucket to the Platform Engineering team using IAM roles and tagging structures. A Jira ticket is created and assigned within the appropriate sprint.

4. Governance Review

The Governance Agent validates that:

The SLA requires critical issues to be resolved in under 48 hours.
This case meets the criteria for auto-remediation.
No additional approvals are necessary.

Notifications are sent in Slack, and SLA tracking begins.

5. Remediation Execution

The Remediation Agent proposes restricting bucket permissions and applying encryption. Based on policy settings, it executes the fix via AWS, then confirms remediation with a post-fix scan.

6. Orchestration & Confirmation

The Orchestration Agent closes the Jira ticket and logs the action for auditing. Meanwhile, the Collaboration Agent notifies stakeholders across Slack and Jira, keeping all teams aligned.

Why This Workflow Matters

This isn’t a theoretical model—it’s how Opus customers resolve vulnerabilities every day. The impact is immediate:

Faster MTTR. No missed SLAs. Clear ownership. Lower backlog. Security teams gain time and trust, while engineering teams receive only actionable, relevant issues resolved inside their workflows.

"The agents do the heavy lifting so we can focus on strategy. Remediation just happens." — VP, Security Architecture.

Where Opus Integrates

Opus fits seamlessly into your existing stack. Native integrations include:

Cloud & Infra providers like AWS, Azure, and GCP; workflow tools like Jira and ServiceNow; communications platforms like Slack and Microsoft Teams; and security tools such as Wiz, Tenable, Prisma Cloud, and AWS Security Hub.

Whether your risk lies in code, infra, or identity, Opus plugs in without disruption.

Conclusion: It’s Not Just AI. It’s Security That Executes.

The Opus agent framework isn’t about automating tasks. It’s about delivering outcomes.

By embedding intelligent, autonomous agents across the remediation lifecycle, Opus transforms how teams operate—eliminating bottlenecks, enforcing policy, and accelerating resolution.

You define the guardrails. Opus drives the fix.
