# Overview

The Kikimora Agent acts as an additional helpful digital team member. It can see and understand an entire network and devices, find security problems, suggest how to fix them, and even help manage the work of security teams by assigning tasks or creating reports - all by prompting in normal human language.

Kikimora Agent automates repetitive or technical tasks like scanning for vulnerabilities, checking compliance with laws, and monitoring devices. This means companies have to spend less time, effort and money on repetitive manual tasks.

For beginners and learners, the agent offers an intuitive way to experiment and learn about cybersecurity step-by-step, guiding the user through understanding their security posture and what actions to take to improve it, while working on real infrastructure.

In short, Kikimora Agent is an easy-to-use, AI-powered security assistant helping you manage your cybersecurity needs.<br>

The five primary segments the agent assist with are:

* **Attack Surface Management**: Discover and monitor public-facing IT assets.
* **Vulnerability Management**: Identify, track, and manage security weaknesses across your assets.
* **Asset Management**: Centralize and organize all your IT assets, including critical details & owners.
* **Endpoint Security**: Oversee and harden endpoint configurations, processes, and installed software.
* **Security Project Management**: Plan, execute, and track security assessments and remediation.

You can directly prompt the agent and it will provide detailed information of the actions it can take and information it can provide.\
