Kikimora Unveils the Kikimora Agent

In an era where cyber threats are on a steep rise, Kikimora, a leading specialist in cybersecurity solutions, has announced the launch of its innovative product: the Kikimora Agent. This AI-powered platform is tailored specifically for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), aiming to streamline the often-complex processes of cybersecurity management. Given the mounting pressures from increasing cyberattacks and a noticeable shortage of security expertise in the industry, Kikimora Agent stands to be a game-changer.

The Kikimora Agent combines the power of conversational AI with automated security workflows. This integration is designed to significantly reduce the burdens associated with manual cybersecurity management, often rife with high skill requirements and multiple tool juggling. As Krasimir Kotsev, the CEO of Kikimora, asserts, "The platform allows users to easily manage assets, run vulnerability scans, and generate compliance reports with simple prompts. It delivers immediate value to security teams with minimal setup and almost no learning curve."

The interface of Kikimora Agent separates conversational interactions from live inventory management using a split-screen format, allowing users to communicate with the system naturally. Users can execute various functions through intuitive prompts, such as querying asset lists, running vulnerability assessments, and receiving actionable remediation recommendations based on current vulnerabilities.

Key segments identified within the Kikimora Agent include Attack Surface Management, Vulnerability Management, Asset Management, Endpoint Security, and Security Project Management. As Martin Malinov, Kikimora Agent's Head of Product, pointed out, "Automation in cybersecurity is no longer a luxury—it's a necessity for organizations with limited resources."

To enhance the platform's functionality, Kikimora Agent integrates with existing security solutions like Qualys for web application scanning and Wazuh for endpoint monitoring. This ensures users not only maintain control over their data privacy but also comply with necessary regulations. The system supports comprehensive workflow management, allowing users to list and update assets, execute scans, track vulnerabilities, assign remediation tasks, and onboard new endpoints.

The Kikimora Agent also features an experiment-and-estimate vertical, fostering an environment for rapid learning and scenario analysis without extensive setup requirements. Users benefit from the platform's ability to provide tailored recommendations to improve their remediation strategies—simply input tasks like "Scan my web application..." or "Create a plan for NIS2 compliance..." to receive immediate, actionable guidance to achieve their security objectives.

The timing of this launch is particularly strategic, as SMEs across Europe face an alarming uptick in cyber threats. Heightened attack rates, coupled with stringent regulations like GDPR and NIS2, create an urgent need for efficient cybersecurity tools. Kikimora Agent aims to reduce operational complexities and democratize access to powerful, AI-enhanced security tools, enabling a wider spectrum of organizations to bolster their defenses within budget constraints.

Business owners and security teams can get started with Kikimora Agent at Kikimora Agent site, where they can access Get Started Guides and Documentation for a smooth onboarding experience. For those looking to dive deeper, example prompts are also available on Kikimora's GitBook.

Founded by the skilled professionals at SoCyber, Kikimora is dedicated to enhancing cybersecurity solutions for organizations throughout Europe. Their focus on AI-driven tools aims to make security operations accessible and manageable, especially for small to medium-sized teams.
