  • This AI skill can help you identify finding types, understand the guardrails that might be already mapped to findings, and see why they were selected by the skill to map to specific findings. This information can help you determine which findings might be already mitigated or deferred for later review or remediation.

    Before you begin

    The Now Assist panel must be activated. For more information, see Activate the Now Assist panel standard chat.

    Roles required: sn_vul.vulnerability_admin or sn_vul.vulnerability_analyst admin

    Procedure

    1. Navigate to All > Security Exposure Management > AI Exposures.
    2. Select the AI validation findings tab.
      The AI guardrails helper panel is displayed.
      Note:
      This panel is displayed only if you have installed the Now Assist for Vulnerability Response application.
    3. If you're using the application for the first time, select Detect guardrails.
    4. Respond to the prompt asking whether the AI guardrails helper should run periodically.
      • Yes — Run the job on the scheduled time and frequency. You can choose how often the job runs.
      • No, only manually (on-demand) — Run the skill manually when needed.

      To view these options after you initially set them, select the menu icon

    5. Select Confirm and run.

      Run time scales with the number of newly imported findings. The first run may take a few moments to display results. Subsequent runs process only delta findings. You can activate a notification to trigger when the job completes.

      • N (number of findings) for deferral — The number of findings that can use detected matching guardrails. These findings can be deferred because the risks can be mitigated by the guardrails.
      • Mitigated findings by threat category, for example:
        • Social Division and Polarization
        • Violence and Public Safety
        • Hate Speech
        • Harassment

      Select a value from the categories to open a list of findings by category (AIVUL).

      You can now use the Guardrail Detector agentic workflow to create exception rules to automatically defer findings that match your criteria.
