News Summary

• Mate Security’s Gamebooks are designed to address a tension that has emerged as security teams adopt AI.
• Traditional SOAR investigation playbooks can automate repeatable procedures, but they are brittle and require ongoing maintenance.
• Gamebooks define what must be investigated, what evidence needs to be established, which conditions should alter the investigation, what actions are permitted and when an agent must stop, escalate or request approval.
• Mate frames Gamebooks as part of a broader shift from scripted automation toward agentic investigations.
