![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 2 minutes to read  
The ServiceNow Otto for Security Incident Response (SIR) application is supported in the Security Incident Response Workspace and in the legacy Core UI (UI16). Use the guided setup in the AI Admin Hub console to configure ServiceNow Otto for Security Incident Response (SIR).

## Configuration overview {#configuring-now-assist-for-security-operations__cf-config-parent-checklist}

AI agents use [role masking](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=aia-role-masking&version=brazil&pubname=brazil-intelligent-experiences&ft:locale=en-US) to determine which users can access them. Ones installed with your applications have specific roles that come included with the application. If you select Users with specific roles for user access, you must configure the security controls to include these roles. For the instructions to change the security controls, see [Define security controls for an AI agent](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=define-sec-controls-aia&version=brazil&pubname=brazil-intelligent-experiences&ft:locale=en-US).  
Important:  
Some generative AI skills, AI agents, and agentic workflows are turned on by default. For more information, see [AI agents, skills, and agentic workflows on by default](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=now-assist-skills-on-by-default&version=brazil&pubname=brazil-intelligent-experiences&ft:locale=en-US).

By sharing data with the ServiceNow® AI development program, you provide relevant data to help improve prediction accuracy, user experience, tailor products to your business needs, and reduce hallucinations for your activated ServiceNow Otto skills.

You can opt out of a ServiceNow instance from sharing data from the AI Admin Hub console. See [Opt out of data sharing for Now Assist](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=opt-out-of-data-sharing-for-now-assist&version=brazil&pubname=brazil-intelligent-experiences&ft:locale=en-US). Repeat the opt-out process for all instances that use the ServiceNow Otto functionality.  
Use the AI Admin Hub console to configure ServiceNow Otto for Security Incident Response (SIR). This console contains everything to install the applications and configure the generative AI skills. For additional information, see [Configuring plugins and skills in AI Admin Hub](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=configuring-na-landing&version=brazil&pubname=brazil-intelligent-experiences&ft:locale=en-US).  
Note:  
When you update the ServiceNow Otto for Security Incident Response (SIR) applications, its dependency applications are automatically updated.

The following table lists the features and skills that you can access from the AI Admin Hub console.  
Note:  
Depending on your license, you will have access to certain application features, generative AI skills, agentic workflows, and AI agents. For more information, see [ServiceNow product tiers](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=ai-native-sku-overview&version=brazil&pubname=brazil-intelligent-experiences&ft:locale=en-US).
