Purpose-built AI agents onboard vendors through due-diligence workflows, chase vendors who are slow to respond, keep watching news, sanctions and financial data, and, when risk thresholds break, open remediation workflows, track vendor responses, escalate unresolved issues and produce DORA, SOX and NIST reporting packages.
• noze CyberAgent (AI agent for continuous attack-surface monitoring, automated validation pentesting and NIS2 evidence) — Italian agent for mid-sized companies and NIS2 entities without an in-house SOC: after verifying domain control it continuously discovers assets and assesses network, web apps and APIs, correlates findings with EPSS and CISA KEV, confirms exploitability with automated validation pentests, ranks risks by business impact and prepares NIS2, DORA and ISO 27001 reports; the team decides what to fix. · noze CyberAgent (AI agent for continuous attack-surface monitoring, automated validation pentesting and NIS2 evidence) pair comparison
