Circuit by Cyberplane How it works

See the attack path.Cut it.Prove it’s gone.

New bugs now get exploited within hours, and attackers chain small gaps across tools that don’t talk to each other. Circuit joins up what your security tools already know, so your team can cut the path with one approved change and prove it’s gone.

  • A named person approves every change
  • Your own tools make the change, from your account
  • Circuit checks at the source that it held
  • Proof you can check without trusting us

Circuit is in development. It runs end to end in our lab, and we’re looking for design partners to shape it with us.

An illustration. The systems are made up.

Why now

Attackers now move within hours of a bug going public.

Patching is still the answer. But this October showed how little time teams get, and how often the fix can’t go in tonight.

October 2026 · PHP2Shell

Attacks start within hours

Two flaws in PHP let an attacker run code on a web server without logging in. Word leaked on 20 October and attacks began within the hour, before the fixes came out the next day. React2Shell went the same way last December.

Sometimes there’s no fix to apply

A flaw in the Brotli decompressor inside Node.js can let crafted data run code on a server. Current versions got fixes; versions past end of life, such as Node.js 20, won’t. Those teams need another way to cut the risk.

This year

AI is speeding up both sides

AI tools helped find both of October’s bugs, and attackers have the same tools. The AI agents your teams are rolling out are new identities too, with access of their own.

In India

Regulators want answers within hours

CERT-In expects many incidents reported within 6 hours of noticing them. Boards and auditors want to know what was done and whether it worked, not just that a ticket was closed.

CERT-In Directions, 28 April 2022

Most teams can find more problems than they can fix. The hard part is closing the few that lead somewhere, quickly, and showing it’s done.

The gap

Your tools each see a piece. Attackers only need one way through.

A serious breach rarely lives in one product. It shows up when a compromised device, a powerful account, a reachable server, a known weakness and important data line up, across systems that never see each other end to end.

The context is scattered

Your endpoint, identity, cloud and vulnerability tools each hold part of the story. The path only shows up when someone joins them, usually by hand.

Acting is slow

Turning a finding into a change means tickets, hand-offs and change windows. Meanwhile the path stays open.

Fixes go unchecked

A tool accepting a change doesn’t mean the risk is gone. Unless someone checks at the source, it’s only assumed.

How Circuit works

One loop, through the tools you already own.

We’re not asking you to replace anything. Circuit joins up what your tools see, decides with written rules, and acts through those same tools, with your people in charge.

  1. 01

    See

    Reads the facts it needs from the tools you already run, and joins them into one map.

  2. 02

    Confirm

    A written policy decides whether a real path exists. A missing fact counts as unknown, never as true.

  3. 03

    Approve

    Circuit suggests the best place to cut. A named person approves the exact change with a security key.

  4. 04

    Act

    Your own executor makes the change through your existing tools, from inside your account.

  5. 05

    Prove

    Circuit checks at the source that the path is gone, and only then calls it done.

Evidence at every step. Each outcome is sealed in a log signed with your key. And when the alert is finally resolved, undoing the cut goes through the same steps.

What we believe

Built so you don’t have to take our word for it.

Security teams are right to be wary of anything that can change production. So the design keeps people, evidence and keys on your side.

Your tools stay

Circuit is designed to work through the EDR, identity provider and cloud controls you already run. There’s nothing to rip out.

Evidence decides

A path is real only when every link holds on fresh evidence. AI can help find facts, but it never makes the call.

People approve

Every change is approved by a named person with a security key, and whoever asks for a change can’t approve it.

You hold the keys

Write access to your tools, the key that signs your evidence, and a copy of the evidence all stay in your account.

Checked at the source

A change only counts once Circuit sees, in the tool and on the network, that the path is gone.

AI inside the rules

Circuit’s agents investigate, recommend and explain. They can’t change anything, and every run is recorded.

Built for India

Designed for CERT-In’s 6 hours, with your data kept in India.

CERT-In wants many cyber incidents reported within 6 hours of noticing them. Circuit is built to have the draft ready when the path is confirmed, from the same sealed record.

  • A draft from the record. Circuit fills in what the record shows, with the source of each field, and asks what only you can answer, such as whether personal data was accessed.
  • You send it. Circuit never contacts CERT-In. Marking the report sent seals the time and the reference.
  • Your data in India. Circuit is designed to keep an Indian customer’s data in India, with backups in a second Indian region.

Cyberplane isn’t affiliated with CERT-In. Circuit’s reading of CERT-In’s guidance is for your counsel to confirm.

Where we’re headed

Prove one loop. Then widen it.

No dates yet. The order will come from what we hear from security teams, and from the design partners we’re looking for.

  1. 1 Today, in our lab

    One path, end to end

    An infected laptop, the person signed in on it, a server and customer data. Confirmed, cut with approval, checked, sealed and drafted for CERT-In, then released once the alert is resolved. On a made-up company.

  2. 2 Next

    More paths, more tools

    Paths that run through people’s and machines’ access, cut by ending sessions, removing access, reducing privilege or disabling credentials. And more of your tools to read from and act through.

  3. 3 Then

    AI agents on the map

    AI agents mapped as identities, with their tools and data. And a gateway that can stop a risky tool call before it runs.

  4. 4 Later

    More places to run

    A dedicated cell for one organization, regions beyond India, and later Circuit in your own cloud or data center.

Acting without a person isn’t offered. If customers ever want it for small changes that can be undone, it’ll be their choice, one kind of action at a time.

Design partners

Shape Circuit with us.

We don’t have customers yet, and we won’t pretend otherwise. We’re looking for a few security teams who want to work on this with us from the start.

What you bring

  • A real attack-path problem you’d like solved
  • Someone who owns it, and some time for feedback
  • A test environment, or a safe slice of one

What you get

  • Early access, and a direct line to the people building it
  • A real say in what comes first: which tools, which paths, which reports
  • We’d start read-only, with recommendations only. Nothing changes without your approval

Which path worries you most?

Tell us, and we’ll show you how Circuit would cut it and prove it. Or just write to hello@cyberplane.ai.
