AegisIQ · Security monitoring and response
It watches, contains and reports. It never strikes back.
AegisIQ is an agentic security monitor for the IQ platform and the systems beneath it. It is built to detect attacks and misuse, by people and by AI agents, and, planned, to contain them on your own systems within reversible limits, track public vulnerability intelligence and propose patches for a person to review.
The foundations are built: a tamper-evident incident record, the first sensors and a way to measure every detection against replayed attacks. Detection rules are built and measured; they run live on our test server once the rule set is signed off. Firm notices, the monthly report and the file-scanning service are built and on the test server. Containment is planned for December 2026.
How you reach AegisIQ. AegisIQ is reached through PracticeIQ, the one application you sign in to; your firm's security notices and monthly report appear there. Both are built on the test server and not yet live for firms. AegisIQ has no firm-facing sign-in of its own.
Capabilities
What AegisIQ does.
Each capability is marked with where it stands: built and in alpha testing, in development, or planned.
-
In development
See
Sensors on the gateway, identity events, application audit, agent tool calls, hosts and certificates. Security events carry metadata only, never client content.
-
In development
Detect
Credential stuffing, scanning, floods, token abuse, tenant-isolation probing, exfiltration signals, prompt injection and misuse by agents. Every rule is measured against replayed incidents before it ships.
-
Planned
Contain, reversibly
Ban an address at your gateway, revoke a token or certificate, disable an account or quarantine one firm's API access. Every action expires and can be reversed, with dry runs, approvals, blast-radius caps and a kill switch.
-
Planned
Know
Public advisory and threat feeds matched against what you actually run, giving a prioritised exposure list with patch clocks.
-
Planned
Patch, with a person
Fixes proposed as reviewable changes with tests and rollback notes. AegisIQ never merges a change by itself.
-
In development
Report
A tamper-evident incident register, notices for each firm inside PracticeIQ and a monthly report scoped to the firm, built and on our test server. Whether a breach is notifiable stays a person's decision.
-
Planned
Evidence packs
Evidence packs, and drafts for the Australian Signals Directorate's ReportCyber and for hosting abuse desks.
-
In development
Scan files before anyone opens them
Uploaded files are checked for malware and nothing is readable until the scan is clean. The scan service runs on our test server; connecting it to every upload path is in progress.
Who it is for
Built for the people who carry the risk.
AegisIQ reads security events from every layer of the platform and acts only on assets the operator owns. Planned: a local model will help explain and group events; it will never take action.
-
Firms that host the platform
Security monitoring that understands the IQ platform, on your own servers or in a hybrid setup.
-
IT and security leads
Evidence and clear explanations, with containment kept within limits you set.
-
Our own operations
AegisIQ protects the Cogent cloud first, so it is tested against the platform it defends.
Roadmap
Where AegisIQ is heading.
Dates are planning targets and can move. "Done" means built and tested by us in development or on our test server; it does not mean generally available. Nothing on this roadmap is generally available yet. Last updated 25 Oct 2026.
