# AI Actions for IT Security Management

Employees can report security incidents, request firewall changes, manage certificates, and initiate security reviews using Agentforce in a channel of their choice, such as the portal, Slack, or Teams. Ensure rapid threat response and streamlined security operations to protect corporate assets.

### Required Editions

<table class="slds-table slds-table_bordered slds-max-medium-table_stacked slds-m-bottom_small edition"><colgroup><col></colgroup><tbody><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">Available in: Lightning Experience</td></tr><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">Available in: Unlimited and Enterprise editions with AI Agent for Employees add-on.</td></tr></tbody></table>

Agentforce guides employees through reporting phishing attempts and stolen devices, submitting firewall and network configuration requests, and coordinating vendor security assessments for rapid threat response.

## Answer Questions with Knowledge

Here's how an employee asks a question about IT security policies and threat response procedures by using Agentforce. You can also see the action that's triggered in response to the employee's input.
