AI agents run automated scans across your stack, covering the security domains that matter most. Where automation cannot fix it, the platform flags it. Where you want human hands, buy retainer hours.
What AI agents continuously scan across your stack
IDENTITY & ACCESS
Agents scan for MFA gaps, weak password policies, over-privileged accounts, and stale access. Every finding tells you exactly who has access to what and what needs to change.
DOMAIN Access Control
EMAIL & COMMS
Agents check SPF, DKIM, and DMARC configuration, identify phishing exposure, and flag inbox-level risks. Your domain and communications stay protected.
DOMAIN Phishing Resistance
ENDPOINT
Agents audit device compliance, MDM policy coverage, browser hardening, and patch status. Every endpoint that falls outside your baseline gets flagged.
DOMAIN Fleet Hardening
NETWORK
Agents assess DNS filtering, VPN configuration, network segmentation, and zero trust access controls. Gaps where traffic or users can move freely when they should not are surfaced and prioritised.
DOMAIN Perimeter Control
CLOUD
Agents scan your cloud environments for misconfigured storage, exposed secrets, over-permissive IAM roles, and configuration drift. Your infrastructure and data stay protected.
DOMAIN Infrastructure Integrity
DATA
Agents scan for overshared files, public links, and misconfigured storage buckets. Sensitive data exposure is one of the most common findings in early roadmaps.

Where AI Agents Outperform the Alternatives
| Key Capability | Threat Unknown | Hiring a Security Engineer | MSSP / MDR | vCISO |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Automated Scanning | ✓ Agents scan on schedule | Manual / ad hoc | ✓ Tool-based monitoring | ✗ Strategy only |
| Personalised Security Roadmap | ✓ AI-generated, continuously updated | ✓ Manual effort | ✗ Not included | ✓ Manual effort |
| Auto-Remediation | ✓ Where automation allows | ✓ Manual effort | ✗ Alert only | ✗ Strategy only |
| Ongoing Implementation | ✓ AI + optional retainer | ✓ Full-time | ✗ Monitoring only | ✗ Advisory only |
| Cost | Platform fee + optional hours | $120k–$180k+ / yr salary | Monthly retainer | Hourly / monthly retainer |
| Available immediately | ✓ | 3–6 month hiring cycle | ✓ | ✓ |
Core Distinction:Unlike MSSPs who only monitor or vCISOs who only advise, Threat Unknown agents perform the actual technical hardening and implementation work required to protect modern infrastructure.

Threat Unknown was built by engineers who designed and ran security at scale, at Amazon and in fintech. That experience is baked into the platform: what agents look for, how findings are prioritised, and what good remediation looks like.
