Have you ever looked at a computer screen full of confusing security warnings? It can feel like trying to read a foreign language. For many IT teams, figuring out what went wrong takes a lot of time and energy. That is where a smart assistant can really help. Todyl just announced a new tool called Janus. It is an AI agent made to help teams investigate security issues fast.
What is Janus?
Janus is built right into Todyl’s security platform. You can ask it questions in plain English and get clear answers. Instead of digging through endless data logs, Janus tells you exactly what is happening. John Nellen, Founder and CEO of Todyl, shared his thoughts on the release.

“We’ve been working on AI for several years now, improving how our platform and teams operate behind the scenes. Janus now brings that capability directly to our partners and users. It gives teams immediate clarity on what happened, why it matters, and what to do next, in plain language, right inside the incident. That means faster collaboration with Todyl’s MXDR experts, fewer handoffs, and customer-ready explanations that build trust and prove value.”

How It Helps Everyday Teams

Sometimes, IT professionals work closely with Todyl’s security experts. Janus makes this teamwork easier. If an expert spots a problem, the local IT team still needs to understand it. With Janus, they can just ask a question to learn the “why” behind an alert. The tool provides clear steps on how to fix the issue. It even writes simple explanations that you can show to customers. This means less waiting around and more quick action.
Extra Smart and Very Safe
When you use AI, you want to make sure your private data stays safe. Todyl built Janus with very strong safety rules. It stops bad actors from tricking the AI or stealing information. Every customer gets their own private agent. This agent only looks at data for that specific case. Because of this clever design, Janus works very fast while keeping everything super secure. It also connects with known threat lists to catch dangerous bugs right away.
Ready to Use Right Now

The best part is that you do not have to wait. Janus is available now inside the Todyl platform. Users can start asking questions and getting helpful advice immediately. It acts like a trusted guide that speeds up the whole investigation process. For any business trying to stay safe online, having a helpful assistant like Janus makes a big difference.
