      • Create a custom API connector in the Security Posture Control workspace with the Connector builder framework module. You have the option to use generative AI to help your developers create custom API connectors quickly with a Now Assist skill (SPC Setup Connector) that is included with the Now Assist for Vulnerability Response application.
        • Automate the steps for selecting API templates, populating request and header parameters, and response field mapping with generative AI.
        • Use your custom API connector to integrate with security tools and import asset data that is based on the unique requirements of your environment and monitor your overall security posture with the API connectors that you build.
      • Generate insights to prioritize findings in the Security Exposure Management (SEM) workspace.
        • Use generative AI to provide contextual summaries, actionable recommendations, and quick links in the Security Exposure Management (SEM) workspace, helping you prioritize critical risks and accelerate remediation.
      • Generate recommendations for approval impact analysis in the SEM workspace.
        • Use generative AI to provide on-demand recommendations to approve or reject a request directly from the Exception Change Approval record, enabling approvers to make faster, more consistent decisions while reducing manual analysis effort.
    Version 2.1.0 - October 2025
    Fixed:
    • Read and write access control with the sn_vul_ai.write_rem_insights and sn_vul_ai.read_rem_insights granular roles to the retrieved SLA metrics from the Analyze Remediation Status agentic workflow stored on the Remediation Compliance Insights [sn_vul_ai_remediation_insights] caching table.
    • These granular roles are inherited automatically by the sn_vul.vulnerability_admin and sn_vul.vulnerability_analyst persona roles and by the VR.System role so background job execution for the workflow can occur.
