CoreQ Academy3.3 Given a scenario, use AI to automate security tasks.
Automation with AI can take hours off routine security work: drafting tickets, reviewing changes, scanning code. Keep humans on the decisions that matter and log what the automation did.
Scripting tools
- Low-code
- Platforms where you build workflows mostly visually with some code; AI helps generate the code parts.
- No-code
- Fully visual workflow builders. Fast, but review the permissions each connector gets.
Documentation and tickets
- Document synthesis and summarization
- Drafting policies, reports and executive summaries from source material for human review.
- Incident response ticket management
- Auto-creating, enriching, deduplicating and routing tickets from alerts.
Change management
- AI-assisted approvals
- AI reviews change requests against policy and risk and recommends approve or reject; a person keeps accountability.
- Automated deployment/rollback
- Pipelines that deploy and automatically roll back when health or security checks fail.
AI agents
- AI agents
- Systems that plan and take multi-step actions with tools. Scope their permissions, log every action and require approval for destructive steps.
Continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD)
- Code scanning
- Automated static analysis on every commit, with AI explaining and prioritising findings.
- Software composition analysis
- Checking third-party dependencies (including model files and AI libraries) for known vulnerabilities and licences.
- Unit testing
- Testing small pieces of code automatically; AI can help generate tests.
- Regression testing
- Confirming changes did not break existing behaviour or security controls.
- Model testing
- Running evaluation, bias and adversarial test suites on models in the pipeline before release.
- Automated deployment/rollback (CI/CD)
- Shipping only when tests pass and reverting automatically on failure.
