Rootshell Security Launches "Bring Your Own AI" Beta for Exposure Management
Powered by the Model Context Protocol (MCP), the new
capability allows security teams to use AI platforms such as ChatGPT, Microsoft
Copilot, Claude and Gemini to access vulnerability intelligence, remediation
activity, risk metrics and exposure management insights using natural language.
As organizations increasingly embed AI into day-to-day
operations, many are being forced to adopt proprietary assistants tied to
individual security products. Rootshell Security is taking a different
approach.
Rather than asking customers to learn another AI tool,
Rootshell enables them to bring the AI platform they already trust.
Security Data. Your AI.
The Rootshell Platform MCP Server creates a secure
connection between AI assistants and exposure management data, allowing users
to ask questions such as:
- Which
vulnerabilities are being actively exploited?
- What
are our highest-risk exposures today?
- Which
findings have breached SLA?
- What
security risks should be presented to the board this month?
- How
is remediation performance trending over time?
Instead of manually building reports or navigating multiple
dashboards, users can receive immediate answers based on live Rootshell
Platform data.
A Different Approach to AI in Cybersecurity
While many cybersecurity vendors are introducing proprietary
AI assistants, Rootshell believes organizations should remain free to choose
the technologies that best align with their security, governance and
operational requirements.
The BYOAI capability works with MCP-compatible AI platforms,
including:
- ChatGPT
- Microsoft
Copilot
- Claude
- Gemini
- Other
MCP-enabled AI tools
This approach allows organizations to benefit from future
advances in AI technology without becoming dependent on a single vendor
ecosystem.
Bringing CTEM Into the AI Era
Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) has emerged as
a leading framework for helping organizations continuously identify, validate,
prioritize and reduce risk.
Rootshell Platform already consolidates data from
vulnerability scanners, penetration testing engagements, exploit intelligence
sources, asset inventories and remediation workflows into a centralized
exposure management platform.
The MCP Server extends that capability by making security
data conversational.
Security leaders can rapidly generate executive summaries.
Operational teams can identify remediation priorities faster. Analysts can
investigate trends without building complex reports.
The result is faster decision-making, improved
prioritization and greater visibility across the entire CTEM lifecycle.
Quote
"Many vendors are using AI as another mechanism for
lock-in. We believe customers should have the freedom to choose the AI
platforms that best fit their organisation."
"Whether that's ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude or Gemini,
our job is to make Rootshell's security intelligence available wherever our
customers choose to work. By connecting exposure management data directly to
the AI tools organisations already trust, our MCP Server transforms security
information into a conversational experience, helping teams move from
collecting data to making better decisions faster than ever before."
