Act on Every Serious Cyber Warning
Trusted by our global clients
Thousands of Warnings, a Handful that Matter
A serious breach often begins as a warning that nobody acted on in time.
Security teams receive thousands of warnings every day. Most are harmless. A few point to stolen customer data, a ransom demand or a shutdown.
Leadership assumes those few are handled first, but rarely has proof. Even when someone decides what to do, the fix can sit in a queue until a person has time to carry it out.
The Cost of a Warning Nobody Acted On
When a missed warning comes to light, leadership is asked why nobody acted.
Cyber risk is now one of the biggest threats on CEOs’ minds. In PwC’s 2026 Global CEO Survey, 31% of CEOs named it a major threat, up from 24% a year earlier.
The NCSC Board Toolkit asks boards to make sure the business’s priorities guide its security work. Being able to show that the most serious warnings are dealt with every day answers both concerns.
Key regulations that may apply to your business
UK & EU GDPR
Boards of essential and important organisations must approve and oversee cyber security measures, and managers can be held responsible when serious incidents are not handled or reported in time.
UK Cyber Security and Resilience Bill
Proposes reporting significant incidents within 24 hours, so a missed warning quickly becomes a missed deadline.
How Automation Turns Every Serious Warning Into Action
Automation builds proven security practice into every serious warning, from first alert to final fix.
These are the ways of working the most experienced security teams already use. Ignite Technology’s preferred automation solution, Automic, runs tasks automatically, sorting the serious warnings from the everyday ones and sends them to the right person, with the facts they need already on their screen.
Once that person decides what to do, Automic carries it out. It then keeps checking that the most serious warnings are being worked on, and raises the alarm if one is not.
1. Sort & Gather
Serious warnings are automatically separated from everyday ones automatically.
2. Act
The agreed fix is carried out straight away.
3. Check
Automic confirms the serious warnings are being worked on.

Our Client Success in Automation
Automating Population-Scale Processing
Case Study > Automation > Government
A national pensions agency in Northern Europe processes monthly pension payments for an entire population of retirees, where a single error carries immediate political visibility. Ignite Technology has kept that processing reliable and auditable since 2020, reducing manual intervention and supporting the digital-government standards citizens now expect.
Giving a Global Asset Manager's Leadership Control Over Investment Operations
Case Study > Automation > Financial Services
A UK-headquartered global asset manager depends on overnight NAV calculation and trade settlement completing reliably, with faster cycles like T+1 raising the stakes. Ignite Technology’s Automic-based automation gives leadership centralised, auditable control over that processing, replacing fragmented, team-level scheduling with one system they can stand behind.
Underpinned by enterprise consultancy services
Ignite’s Broadcom Automic Workload Automation and Automation Intelligence consultants sit inside the same enterprise consultancy as Agentic AI and Change Consultancy and Portfolio Leadership and Strategic Management, so Automic governance decisions account for what else is happening across your technology estate.
Frequently Asked Questions
Automated security alert response uses software to sort security warnings, gather the facts about each one and carry out the agreed fix. Serious threats are dealt with quickly and in the same way every time, whoever is on shift.
No. Your team still decides what to do about a serious threat. Automic gathers the facts beforehand and carries out the decision afterwards, so people spend their time on judgement.
Automic regularly checks that the most important warnings are being worked on and raises an alert if one is being missed. Leaders can see this at any time.
Yes. These practices are already used by leading Symantec customers, and Automic can also work with security systems from other suppliers.
It is for CISOs, heads of security and boards who need confidence that the threats that matter most are being dealt with every day
Under NIS2, senior management in essential and important EU organisations must approve and oversee cyber security measures and can be held personally responsible for failures. UK proposals under the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill point the same way.
Yes. The same approach is used for automating IT operations beyond security, including self healing fixes for common failures and more autonomous IT operations that need less manual effort.
Ignite Technology is a consultancy that works with large organisations and public sector bodies across the UK, Ireland, Northern Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Our Automic consultants hold Broadcom Knight certification, Broadcom’s highest award for partner experts, and Ignite was named the 2024 Arrow Accelerate Broadcom Infrastructure Management Software Partner of the Year.
