What Is an AI Agent?
An AI agent is software that perceives its environment, makes decisions, and takes actions to achieve goals without human intervention. In cybersecurity, agents monitor networks, analyze threats, respond to incidents, and manage compliance in real-time.
AI Agents vs Traditional Security Tools
Traditional tools follow rules. AI agents go beyond: they learn from data, make contextual decisions, adapt over time, and coordinate with each other.
How Gridlock Agents Work
Gridlock uses 6 specialized agents sharing a common AI backbone (Z.AI GLM-5). Each has distinct expertise. When MSP Hunter finds a vulnerability, Threat Researcher assesses risk, Tech Support creates a ticket, and Compliance Agent updates scores. It is a coordinated team.
