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 behavioral indicators, and prioritizes 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 labor shortage makes SOC automation non-optional — and trust is the moat.
Defense 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.
