From Alert to Contained.
In Under 60 Seconds.
In April 2026, ConnectWise published its Mythos-Ready analysis — a strategy briefing prompted by Anthropic's Claude Mythos research into AI-accelerated vulnerability discovery. The conclusion was unambiguous: reactive security models are no longer sufficient. MSPs must move earlier in the attack lifecycle and accelerate incident response dramatically. AIVault is built exactly for this moment — autonomously detecting endpoint threats, investigating incidents, and executing containment in under 60 seconds.
📋 “Reactive security models are no longer sufficient. Defenders must move earlier in the attack lifecycle.”
— ConnectWise Cyber Research Unit, Mythos-Ready Report, April 2026
ConnectWise Says MSPs Must Accelerate IR.
AIVault Delivers.
Two landmark reports published in 2026 changed the conversation about MSP security forever.
The Mythos-Ready Mandate
The ConnectWise Mythos-Ready analysis — developed alongside the Cloud Security Alliance, SANS, and OWASP GenAI Security Project — was prompted by Anthropic's Claude Mythos research into AI-accelerated vulnerability discovery. The report's conclusion was clear: MSPs must fundamentally rethink their incident response posture. Reactive workflows are insufficient. Accelerated IR is now a survival requirement.
- Managed EDR for continuous behavior-based monitoring and rapid containment
- SIEM to correlate identity, endpoint, and network telemetry across environments
- Defenders must move earlier in the attack lifecycle
- Speed of response is now the primary determinant of breach impact
Accelerated IR. Achieved.
AIVault's agentic AI Cybersecurity Assistant is the direct answer to what ConnectWise and the CSA are recommending. We don't just advise MSPs to accelerate incident response — we deliver it. Autonomous threat detection, AI-powered investigation, and machine-speed containment through integrated RMM. The Mythos-Ready recommendations aren't aspirational for AIVault customers — they're already running.
- Managed EDR: ✅ Built in — AI-powered, autonomous
- SIEM correlation: ✅ Multi-tenant, real-time
- Earlier lifecycle detection: ✅ Seconds, not hours
- Accelerated IR: ✅ < 60 seconds, start to finish
The Speed Gap Is Killing MSP Security Programs
ConnectWise's 2026 MSP Threat Report confirms what AIVault was built to solve: adversaries exploit trusted identities, legitimate system tools, and remote access infrastructure — gaining faster, more scalable access to MSP-managed environments. Claude Mythos demonstrated that AI can accelerate vulnerability discovery dramatically, collapsing the window between discovery and weaponization.

The 5-Step Autonomous IR Workflow
The ConnectWise Mythos-Ready report specifically recommends Managed EDR for “continuous, behavior-based monitoring and rapid containment” — exactly what AIVault's autonomous IR workflow delivers. Here's how AIVault achieves what ConnectWise recommends, in under 60 seconds:
Autonomous Endpoint Threat Detection
AIVault continuously monitors endpoint telemetry across all client environments — analyzing process behavior, network connections, file system changes, and registry activity in real time. Threats are detected the moment they emerge, not hours later.
Detection: SecondsAI-Powered Incident Investigation
Every detected threat triggers autonomous investigation. AIVault's AI agents automatically enrich the alert with threat intelligence, correlate across the entire environment, determine scope and blast radius, and identify root cause — all without analyst involvement.
Investigation: < 30 secPolicy-Driven Response Decision
Based on threat severity, affected assets, and client-specific response policies, AIVault automatically determines the optimal response action — from isolation to remediation to escalation. No human decision required for known threat patterns.
Decision: < 5 secAutomated Containment via RMM
AIVault executes containment actions directly through integrated RMM platforms including ConnectWise. Infected endpoints isolated, malicious processes terminated, compromised accounts disabled — all at machine speed.
Containment: < 15 secAutomatic Client Notification & Reporting
AIVault automatically notifies the affected client, creates and updates tickets in your PSA, generates an incident report with full timeline, and provides remediation recommendations — closing the loop without analyst involvement.
Reporting: InstantTraditional IR vs AIVault Response Time
Built for Endpoint Threat Detection
Endpoints are the #1 entry point for attacks. AIVault monitors every one.
Continuous Endpoint Monitoring
AIVault monitors endpoint behavior 24/7 — process execution, network connections, file system changes, registry modifications, and memory activity. No signature required. AI detects anomalous behavior patterns that indicate compromise.
Automated Threat Investigation
When an endpoint threat is detected, AIVault automatically pulls process trees, parent-child relationships, network connections, and file artifacts — building a complete attack story without analyst involvement. Mean time to investigate: under 30 seconds.
Autonomous Containment
Isolate infected endpoints, terminate malicious processes, and block C2 communications — either autonomously based on policy or with one-click approval. RMM integration means containment happens in the client's environment directly.
AI-Assisted Remediation Workflows
After containment, AIVault generates step-by-step remediation guidance, executes automated cleanup tasks via RMM, verifies successful remediation, and confirms the endpoint is clean before returning it to production.
AIVault vs Industry Benchmarks
The numbers speak for themselves.

Powerful Enough to Act.
Constrained Enough to Trust.
Autonomous AI that operates without boundaries is not a product — it is a liability. AIVault's AI Cybersecurity Assistant operates within a strict, policy-driven control framework that you define. Think of it like Waymo's autonomous vehicles — capable of operating without human input, but constrained by thousands of safety rules that ensure it never does anything unexpected, harmful, or outside defined boundaries.
Every action AIVault takes on your clients' machines is:
- •Pre-authorized by response policies you control
- •Logged with a complete audit trail
- •Reversible and human-reviewable
- •Bounded by client-specific rules
- •Monitored for anomalous behavior in real time
AIVault doesn't go rogue. It doesn't take actions outside its defined scope. It doesn't make decisions your policies haven't authorized. It is the most capable — and the most controlled — AI security system your clients will ever deploy.
AIVault AI Safety Framework — built on NIST AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF)
