Vigil is BurstLayer's security AI. It knows your servers, sites and accounts because it watches them every day. Ask a question or give it a job in plain words, and it answers with evidence or a plan you can approve.
web-01 has three open issues. Two can be fixed now without a restart: a PHP security update and an SSH setting. The third, a kernel update, needs a restart. Shall I fix the first two now and schedule the restart for 03:00?
Most teams don't have a security expert. Now you can talk to one.
Ask why your site was slow last night, whether a warning in the news affects you, or who tried to log in to your server. Vigil checks your real systems before it answers.
Plain questions, real answers.
Vigil sees everything the other BurstLayer products see, and it explains it like a colleague would.
Ask anything
Questions about your own setup get answers based on your own data, with links to the evidence.
Give it jobs
Say “patch the security issues on my web server” and Vigil prepares a plan for you to approve.
Explains the news
When a new threat makes the headlines, Vigil tells you whether it affects you and what to do about it.
Morning briefing
Start the day with a short summary of what happened overnight and what needs your attention.
Asks before it acts
Vigil never changes anything without the permission you have given it. You choose what it may do alone.
Speaks your language
Ask in English, German, French, Spanish and many more, and get the answer in the same language.
Answers from your systems, with the receipts.
Vigil doesn't guess. Before it answers, it looks at your logs, settings and history, and shows you what it found so you can check its work.
Does this morning's OpenSSL warning affect us?
Yes, one server. api-gw-1 runs OpenSSL 3.2.1, which is affected. Your other eleven servers and your Vercel and Supabase projects are not.
- Software list from api-gw-1, read 2 minutes ago
- The OpenSSL security warning published this morning
- Checked 12 servers and 3 cloud projects

“Is anything we run affected by this morning's OpenSSL warning?”
“Who tried to log in to our servers last night?”
“Patch the security issues on my web server.”
“Which of our databases can be read without a password?”
“Close remote login to the internet on every server.”
“Why were so many visitors blocked on Tuesday?”
“Write a one-page security summary for our board.”
“Replace the Stripe key that leaked in yesterday's update.”

Questions, answered.
What people usually ask before they turn on Vigil AI.
What can Vigil do on its own?+
Only what you allow. By default it answers questions and prepares plans. You can let it carry out specific actions, like blocking an address, without asking each time.
Is my data used to train the AI?+
No. Your data is used to answer your questions and nothing else, and it stays in the region you choose.
How do I know an answer is right?+
Vigil shows the evidence behind every answer, so you can check it. When it isn't sure, it says so and suggests how to find out.
Where can I talk to Vigil?+
In the BurstLayer dashboard, in Slack and Microsoft Teams, and by email.
Do I need to know about security?+
No. Vigil was made for people who aren't security experts. Ask in your own words.
