Leveraging advanced technologies like a proprietary LLM-based interpreter, Intelligent Document Processing (IDP), Optical Character Recognition (OCR), and Natural Language Processing (NLP), Kognitos enhances productivity, speed, and accuracy. Unlike traditional automation solutions that require complex coding, Kognitos offers unparalleled adaptability and scalability, empowering businesses to streamline workflows and eliminate manual tasks without extensive technical knowledge.
Process automation refers to the use of technology to automate repetitive, manual tasks within a business or organization. The goal is to streamline and optimize workflows, increase efficiency, reduce errors, and save time and resources. This can be achieved through the implementation of various technologies, such as RPA, Workflow Automation, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence.
Security is a core principle of Kognitos' architecture, built on state-of-the-art cloud services with strong security foundations. Critical business processes run on the Kognitos platform, and we prioritize the security of both the processes and their data. Kognitos employs serverless, cloud-based services with the principle of least privilege access. For example, a service without a need to access a database does not have access to it. Kognitos has achieved the SOC 2 Type II certification for our best-in-class security controls and compliance with the AICPA's Trust Services Criteria. Learn more

Egnyte automation questions.
What can I automate between Kognitos and Egnyte?
Resource provisioning policy enforcement, cost-anomaly response, log-review and evidence packaging, and writing results back to your ITSM / SIEM. Kognitos reads from Egnyte, applies the policy you wrote in plain English, and writes back deterministically with a full audit trail, no probabilistic LLM action.
How does Kognitos connect to Egnyte?
Through Egnyte's official API using scoped credentials (OAuth or API key, depending on which Egnyte supports). Kognitos stores credentials in a managed secret store with rotation; permissions are limited to what your automation actually needs.
What events in Egnyte can trigger a Kognitos automation?
Common triggers include a budget threshold crossed, a resource-state change, a scheduled audit, or an alert from monitoring. Kognitos supports both event-driven (webhook) and scheduled execution, and you can mix both inside a single automation.
Can business users build Kognitos + Egnyte automations without code?
Yes. The Kognitos Builder Agent walks you through the process in conversation; you describe what you want in English (e.g., "every weeknight, reconcile Egnyte records against the warehouse and email me anything that doesn't match") and Kognitos generates and runs the automation. No drag-and-drop, no Python, and no third-party iPaaS.
Is Egnyte data safe with Kognitos?
Yes. Kognitos is SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA-attested, ISO 27001-certified, and GDPR-aligned. Egnyte data is processed inside the customer tenant, encrypted in transit and at rest, never used to train upstream models, and every decision is captured in an immutable English-language audit log.
How do I get started with the Kognitos + Egnyte integration?
Book a 30-minute demo. We'll help you connect Egnyte, pick a real bottleneck from your team's backlog, and ship a working automation written in plain English in the first session, no procurement runway required.
