Four Domains
Hydra is one agent with four areas of expertise. Together they form the backbone of the integrations catalog:Network devices
Switches, routers, firewalls, and other network gear — operated over SSH and
their native protocols.
Security software
SIEM, EDR/XDR, vulnerability management, threat intelligence, and ITSM
platforms — queried and acted on through their integrations.
Databases
Relational and other data stores — for health checks, configuration audits,
and read-only inspection.
Cloud & platform
Cloud providers and platform services — inspected and configured through their
APIs and command-line tooling.
How Hydra Operates Your Tools
You don’t hand Hydra credentials in chat. Each integration is set up once — with its credentials stored securely by the platform — and Hydra then acts through integration actions: it references the integration and the operation to run, and the platform resolves the credentials server-side. Your secrets never pass through the AI. Depending on the integration, Hydra reaches the target through a Collector running on your network, over an SSH session, or via the platform’s own connectors — but from your side it’s the same experience: ask, review, approve.Hydra is an AI agent. The software agent installed on a host is what
can run as a Collector
to bridge Hydra to systems inside your network. Same word, different things.
AI Proposes, You Approve
Reading and querying your integrations happens freely, but anything Hydra does that changes a connected system — a firewall rule, a cloud setting, a ticket — is proposed for your review first. You approve before it runs.Hydra’s security domain overlaps with Orion
for threat intelligence and reconnaissance. Hydra operates the tools you’ve
connected; Orion focuses on investigating threats and indicators.
