Ranks are overall positions by Pulse Score. Click a column to sort by what matters to you. Methodology.
Two jobs
- DevOps and SRE agents investigate alerts and incidents across logs, metrics, traces and recent changes, and propose a root cause and fix.
- Security agents run autonomous penetration tests or triage security alerts like a SOC analyst.
Both work on production systems, so start read-only, keep humans approving any change, and log everything the agent does.
