See how Tines automates network device security audits by pulling configuration files directly from GitHub and routing them through specialized AI agents that identify vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and hardening opportunities - all without manual review.

What you'll see:

  • A user visits a Page to kick off the analysis flow
  • Tines fetches all device config files from a GitHub repo via an HTTP Request
  • A second Page presents an alphabetical list of available devices for the user to select
  • The workflow routes the selected config to the appropriate AI agent based on device type (firewall vs. router/switch)
  • The AI agent analyzes the config and generates a prioritized security report with passed checks, identified risks, and actionable recommendations
  • Results are displayed on a final Page, then the user is redirected back to start to analyze another device
  • A separate AI chat agent is available for interactive, conversational analysis of any device config

Perfect for:

  • Network Security Engineers: Auditing firewall rule bases and router configs for misconfigurations without manually reviewing hundreds of lines
  • Security Operations teams: Running on-demand configuration reviews when responding to a potential network-related incident
  • IT Compliance teams: Checking device configs against security standards like Cisco hardening guidelines and flagging gaps before an audit
  • Network Administrators: Quickly reviewing a newly deployed device's configuration before it goes into production

Requirements:

  • GitHub — repository containing your network device configuration files (.txt or similar)
  • GitHub credential — Personal Access Token configured in Tines
  • GitHub resources — GitHub username and repository name stored as Tines Resources
  • AI enabled in your Tines tenant (used by the LLM actions)
  • Pages enabled in your Tines tenant
  • Device configs should be stored as individual files, one per device, named by device name
