Build Cortex workflows with AI Agents
Let your AI agent analyze suspicious IOCs and return Cortex results directly in Slack, boosting team response speed. Enhance your Cortex workflows with AI-powered automation in Slack, Teams, and Discord.
Cybersecurity teams rely on Cortex to analyze digital threats and automate responses—but what if your Cortex data could work directly inside your team’s daily workflows? By integrating Cortex with Runbear’s AI agent platform, teams empower their staff to investigate threats, collaborate on findings, and automate security ops—without ever leaving Slack, Microsoft Teams, or Discord.
About Cortex
Cortex, developed by TheHive Project, is an open-source platform designed for cyber threat analysis and automated incident response. With over 100 integrated analyzers, Cortex allows teams to inspect diverse observables—like IPs, domains, URLs, and file hashes—drawing on trusted sources such as VirusTotal, Shodan, and Google Safe Browsing. Security professionals use Cortex to quickly glean threat intelligence, orchestrate response actions (like isolating endpoints), and manage cases—especially when paired with TheHive SIRP. Cortex appeals to cybersecurity teams seeking scalable, flexible, and collaborative incident analysis, powering SOCs and IT security groups worldwide with automated, actionable intelligence and response workflows. Its modular architecture and role-based controls make it suitable for organizations of all sizes.
Use Cases in Practice
Integrating Runbear’s AI agent with Cortex revolutionizes how cybersecurity teams communicate, automate, and share knowledge. Imagine a security analyst dropping a suspicious hash into Slack and instantly receiving a full Cortex report in-channel, ready for review and group input. Or consider automated daily security digests, summarizing Cortex’s latest analyses and incidents, delivered to your team with links to drill deeper. Teams can query specific threat indicators in plain English—like 'What’s the latest on IP 8.8.8.8?'—with the AI agent intelligently fetching and explaining the Cortex findings, eliminating platform switching and response delays. Additionally, syncing Cortex reports into platforms like Confluence or Notion bolsters internal documentation, empowering new team members and fostering a richer security knowledge base. These use cases demonstrate not only faster threat investigation and better team collaboration, but real productivity gains.

Cortex vs Cortex + AI Agent: Key Differences
Integrating Cortex with Runbear transforms security workflows: moving from manual, siloed Cortex analysis to AI-powered, collaborative responses within your team chat. AI agents enable scheduled reports, natural language queries, and seamless integration with your knowledge base—all without switching platforms. This table compares practical daily experiences for teams using Cortex standalone versus with Runbear automation.
Implementation Considerations
Adopting Cortex workflows—especially when integrating with team communication tools—requires careful planning. Teams must allocate time for initial setup, including installing Cortex, configuring analyzers, and securing necessary permissions. Training is crucial to help team members transition from manual Cortex use to asking AI agents for security insights in Slack or Teams. Organizations should assess data governance policies to ensure Cortex analysis and reporting align with compliance standards, particularly when sensitive observables are discussed in shared channels. Ongoing management of integrations, access controls, and user onboarding are essential for smooth operation. Conduct a cost/benefit analysis: while Runbear accelerates adoption with low-code setup and improved collaboration, teams should validate that their communication tools and staff are ready to support new AI agent-driven workflows.
