Automate Security Code Review with AgenticOps — auto-remediate findings under policy

Running Security Code Review is easy; closing what it finds before it becomes an incident is the hard part. AgenticOps wires Security Code Review into an autonomous Detect → Analyze → Remediate → Verify loop so cloud security findings get triaged, fixed, and proven closed under your team's policy — with engineers on the loop, not lost in a backlog.

Grounded in your stack

Controlled by your policy

Verified after every action

The operational work this removes

Thousands of Security Code Review findings pile up faster than the security team can triage them, so criticals sit next to noise and MTTR climbs
Every finding is manually mapped to an owner, a fix, and a Jira ticket — the same misconfiguration keeps reappearing because nothing closes the loop
Auditors ask for SOC 2 / CIS / PCI evidence and there is no tamper-evident record of who remediated what, when, and who approved it
Over-permissive IAM roles and public exposure are flagged but never right-sized, because engineers fear breaking prod by tightening them blindly
Remediation scripts run with standing admin credentials, so the fix is riskier than the finding — the opposite of what security wants
Nobody trusts auto-remediation because there is no dry-run, no blast-radius check, and no rollback if the fix regresses

From signal to verified action

CloudThinker investigates the signal, proposes or executes the safe action your policy allows, then verifies the outcome.

01 · Detect

Detect the Security Code Review signal

Security Code Review runs on a continuous schedule and its findings stream into CloudThinker normalized to a common schema (resource, severity, control ID, framework mapping — CIS, SOC 2, PCI DSS). Duplicate and already-accepted findings are suppressed so engineers see only what actually changed since the last scan.

02 · Analyze

Analyze the root cause

For each finding, the agent pulls surrounding context — the resource's config, IAM reachability, network path, data classification, and recent CloudTrail activity — to score real exploitability, not just raw severity. It clusters related findings to one root cause (e.g. a permissive SCP fanning out to 40 findings) and drafts a fix plan with an explicit blast-radius assessment.

03 · Remediate

Remediate under policy

The agent proposes a concrete change — a least-privilege IAM policy, a bucket policy tightening, a patched image tag, a security-group rule removal — executed in a sandbox with brokered, time-boxed credentials (never standing admin). Graduated autonomy governs action: L1 recommends, L2 opens a PR/ticket, L3 auto-applies low-risk reversible fixes, L4 handles pre-approved runbooks end-to-end. Anything above the team's policy threshold pauses for an engineer on the loop to approve.

04 · Verify

Verify and record

After applying, the agent re-runs the relevant Security Code Review check to confirm the finding clears, validates no dependent service regressed, and — on failure — rolls back automatically. Every step (input, decision, credential grant, diff, approver) is written to a tamper-evident audit trail that doubles as continuous compliance evidence.
