Short answer

How can I track my attack surface changes using AI?

Your AI uses Halo Security tools to pull current asset lists and risk scores. You can then ask follow-up questions to spot trends or identify specific vulnerabilities. This turns raw security data into a conversational interface for monitoring your posture.

Security insights through chat.

Where your data lands.

The AI handles the data retrieval so you can focus on the analysis.

ASSET AUDIT

Identify new targets

The AI pulls your current asset inventory. You'll see exactly what is currently exposed in your environment.

RISK TRACKING

Monitor risk scores

Your agent checks risk levels across your infrastructure. You can track if your posture is improving or degrading over time.

TREND ANALYSIS

Spot shifting patterns

By comparing different data points, your AI identifies where your attack surface is expanding or contracting.

HUMAN ACTION

Decide on remediation

The AI identifies the problems, but you decide which risks to fix first based on the context it provides.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

The AI acts as a bridge between your security data and your questions.

  1. Inventory assets

    The AI identifies every active target in your environment to establish a baseline.

    list_targets

  2. Evaluate risk

    The AI pulls specific risk scores for the assets it found.

    get_security_risk

  3. Compare snapshots

    Your agent looks for changes in the risk scores or the number of targets identified.

    get_security_risklist_targets

  4. Summarize findings

    The AI translates the raw scores and lists into a plain English summary of your current posture.
