The actions on a finding
Analyze
Open a deeper analysis of the finding in chat, without changing anything.
Remediate
Send the finding to chat, where an agent fixes the underlying problem.
Silence / accept risk
Formally accept a finding you’ve decided to live with, behind a signed
document.
Reactivate
Bring a silenced finding back into scope when circumstances change.
Analyze
Analyze opens the finding in chat and asks Athena to explain it — what the issue is, why it matters, which targets it affects, and how it maps to your frameworks. Nothing changes on your hosts or integrations; this is a read-only conversation you use to decide what to do next.Remediate
Remediate sends the finding — and the affected target — into chat as@-mention chips and hands the fix to the right specialist:
On a host — Perseus
Perseus applies the fix on the device through the Myrmex agent.
On an integration — Hydra
Hydra applies the fix on the connected tool.
Accept a risk
Not every finding gets fixed. When you choose to live with one, silence it — but Athena gates the decision so an accepted risk is always a documented, signed one.1
Athena drafts the document
Athena generates a risk-acceptance document that records the finding,
the target, and the justification.
2
Sign it
The document has to be signed before the finding is silenced.
3
A critical finding needs a second approver
If the finding is critical, a second approver must sign off before it
can be silenced.
This is the “AI proposes, you approve” pattern applied to risk: Athena
prepares the decision, but a human signs before anything is silenced.
Reactivate a silenced finding
Risk acceptance isn’t permanent. If the environment changes — or you simply reconsider — reactivate a silenced finding to bring it back into your posture, where it counts toward your score again and reappears for remediation.Where to go next
