Governed autonomy for the systems that act: from the SOC to the robot.
Robo8 is a perceive → reason → act → learn agent with a human in command and a tamper-evident record of every decision. It's proven in cyber defence (detect, triage and respond across network, endpoint and cloud) and the same governed loop now extends to Physical AI: gating what an autonomous machine is actually allowed to do. Glass-box, not black-box. Bounded, not blind. Your infrastructure, not someone else's.
One governed loop, two domains
The hard part of autonomy isn't acting: it's acting safely, explainably, and within limits. Robo8 solves that once and applies it wherever software decides to act.
Cyber defence: proven today
Unifies network/endpoint/cloud signals into explainable, ATT&CK-grounded incidents and responds with graduated autonomy. Plus exploitability-ranked vuln scanning, a cited knowledge assistant, and a policy-as-code advisor. This is the shipping, tested core.
Physical AI: the frontier
The same loop becomes a safety governor between a robot's planner and its actuators: it checks each action against an operating envelope and blocks (with a safe-stop) anything unsafe, fail-safe by default. A reference slice ships today (ROS 2 + Gazebo); certification-grade physical safety is the roadmap.
Honest scope: cyber defence is mature and tested; Physical AI is an early, working reference layer, a software/AI-governance guardrail, not a certified functional-safety system. See the roadmap.
Figures describe Robo8's design and reference deployment; production results vary by environment.
A different bet than the incumbents
Most AI security platforms are black boxes that live in the vendor's cloud. That's a poor fit for teams that need to audit decisions, keep data in-country, or simply can't rip-and-replace. Robo8 takes the opposite stance.
| Dimension | Black-box / cloud-only platforms | Robo8 |
|---|---|---|
| Explainability | Flags "this is unusual", hard to audit why it matters | Every verdict cites ATT&CK technique, evidence & confidence |
| Data residency | Telemetry feeds the vendor's models / cloud | Local-first: data stays on your infrastructure |
| Deployment | Rip-and-replace sensor / appliance | Sits on top of your existing tools |
| Cost & access | Enterprise-priced, enterprise-only | Affordable, open, vendor-neutral |
| Control | Autonomous actions you trust on faith | Graduated, human-in-command, fully logged |

On top of your stack, not instead of it
Robo8 is the reasoning and action brain, not another sensor. Point it at the alerts you already generate and it correlates, explains, and responds, keeping whatever you've already invested in.
Ingests what you have
Wazuh, Kafka, SIEM/EDR alerts, flow/host/cloud feeds.
Adds the brain
Cross-source correlation, explainable triage, graduated response: grounded in live ATT&CK + CVE intel.
Keeps you sovereign
Runs on your infra; data and decisions stay yours, every action auditable.
Why teams choose Robo8
Reasoning, not just rules
Every incident gets an explainable verdict (technique, confidence, evidence, and a recommended countermeasure) grounded in current threat intelligence.
Safe by default
Dry-run on, auto-action capped at low-risk and reversible, destructive steps gated by identity-bound human approval. A false negative is treated as worse than a false positive.
Gets better with use
Analyst feedback trains a model that resists poisoning, with drift detection and automatic retraining as your environment changes.
Fits your stack
Ingests from Wazuh and Kafka, enforces through firewall/EDR/IdP, and runs on local models or the cloud LLM of your choice.
Built for trust
Role-based access, TLS, rate limiting, full audit, and a clear set of security policies. Your telemetry can stay on your infrastructure.
Observable & deployable
Prometheus metrics, a live SOC dashboard, and Docker / Kubernetes / Helm packaging for a clean path to production.
What it can do
Intelligent triage
Correlates signals, weighs behavioural indicators, and prioritises Tier-1 alerts.
Investigation & containment
Chains events into attack paths; isolates hosts on approval.
Threat hunting
Semantic search over live ATT&CK + known-exploited-CVE intelligence.
Guided remediation
Maps findings to defensive runbooks and context-aware next steps.

Two more ways Robo8 works for you
Vulnerability scanning
Nessus-style in spirit, exploitability-aware in practice: version-precise NVD/CPE + CVSS, known-exploited first, and a tracked case opened per finding. See how it works →
Knowledge assistant
A Rovo-style assistant that answers from your runbooks, ATT&CK and KEV with clickable citations, and proactively surfaces the right play into a case. See how it works →
Built for your industry
The same glass-box, sovereign platform: framed for the pressures you actually face. Each brief is a one-page PDF you can take into a meeting.
Who it's for
Banks, credit unions & fintech
Examiner-ready explainability and data residency, on top of the stack you already audited.
MSSPs & partners
More clients per analyst, per-tenant isolation, fleet deployment via Helm.
Enterprise SOC teams
Cut the alert backlog and lower MTTR without losing control. Deploy in dry-run first.
Investors
The labour shortage makes SOC automation non-optional, and trust is the moat.
Defence that scales with your team, not against it.
Robo8 takes the routine triage and reversible response off your analysts' plate, and hands them the decisions that actually need judgement.
