Cogent Launches Free AI Tool with VulnCheck to Empower Security Teams with Instant Vulnerability Insights
Cogent Security has launched Cogent Community, a free AI-powered tool designed to help security teams quickly and effectively respond to vulnerability threats. The tool, developed in partnership with VulnCheck, leverages advanced domain-trained AI agents to transform complex vulnerability intelligence into actionable insights. By combining VulnCheck’s evidence-based exploit intelligence with Cogent’s agentic AI, the platform enables security professionals to receive fast, accurate, and plain-language responses to critical questions about vulnerabilities—such as whether they are actively exploited, what systems are at risk, and how to remediate them—within seconds. Security teams today face an overwhelming flood of vulnerability signals from diverse sources including vendor advisories, public databases, exploit releases, and threat research. The process of validating, prioritizing, and translating this data into actionable steps is time-consuming and error-prone, often leading to delayed responses and extended exposure windows. With the rise of AI-driven cyberattacks—where adversaries use machine learning to generate exploit code and accelerate the weaponization of CVEs—defenders need faster, smarter tools to keep pace. Cogent Community addresses this challenge by automating the triage and interpretation of vulnerability data. Its AI agents analyze information from multiple sources, identify relevant threats, and provide tailored remediation guidance based on an organization’s specific environment. This allows teams to make faster, more consistent decisions and reduce the risk of breaches. Vineet Edupuganti, co-founder and CEO of Cogent Security, said the goal of Cogent Community is to democratize access to advanced vulnerability intelligence. “Over the last decade, threat intelligence has grown exponentially, but security teams can no longer keep up. Cogent Community puts powerful AI agents in the hands of every practitioner, helping them cut through the noise, understand what matters, and act decisively—especially against AI-powered threats.” Gourav Nagar, head of information security at Upwind Security, praised the platform, noting it significantly improves the efficiency and effectiveness of vulnerability management programs. Cogent Community is now available at no cost to security professionals. Interested users can apply for access and learn more at www.cogent.security/community. Cogent Security, backed by Greylock Partners, is a pioneer in AI-driven vulnerability management, serving large enterprises, public organizations, and academic institutions. VulnCheck specializes in real-time exploit intelligence, helping organizations prioritize vulnerabilities with precision. The two companies are working together to set a new standard for how the security community responds to emerging threats.
