For the Security Agent to complete tasks such as querying data to answer your questions or completing remediation steps, assign agent actions to your agent.
- From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Profiles, and select the profile to which you want to add the tab, for example, Salesforce admin and click Edit.
- Locate the Security Investigations tab and the Configuration tab. Change the settings for both tabs from Tab Hidden to Default On and save.
- In the App Manager, locate the Security Center Lightning app and click Edit.
-
In Navigation Items (1) in Available Items, search for Security Investigations (2) then
click the right pointing arrow (3) to move it to Selected Items. Use the up-pointing arrow (4)
to order it as the second tab and save.

After you refresh, the Security Investigations tab appears in the Security Center app.
-
Open the Security Center app, and in the Configuration tab, in Agentforce for
Security:
- Turn on Agentforce for Security to allow agent-powered functions within Security Center.
- Turn on Background Activity to allow running security investigations in the background.
To leverage Agentforce for Security actions, in Agent Builder, create a new topic for Security Support or similar. Assign the relevant tool to the Topic and activate your Agent.
Security Agent Tools
Use these agent tools to enable conversational security features:
- Classify Security Risks: Deliver clear, conversational risk identification and prioritized remediation plans, ensuring admins know both the 'what' and the 'how' of security responses
- Get Security Alerts: Cut through Salesforce notification overload by providing conversational, proactive security posture alerts.
- Get Security Metric Data: Translate your security posture into plain language with the Get Security Metric Data agent action. Ask questions, get answers, and spot threats before they strike.
- SaveInvestigationTimelineEntry: Enable the agent to analyze Event Monitoring logs and generate a visual timeline of activity before, during, and after an anomaly.
- Summarize User Activity: Easily identify potential suspicious activity. Ask simple questions to get insight into when a user logged in, what they viewed, and more.
