What is Blink?

Blink is a no-code security automation platform designed to help teams automate security operations workflows without writing code. It provides access to a library of over 7,000 pre-built automations covering incident response, cloud security monitoring, compliance checks, threat detection, and general SOC operations. The platform works with a wide range of security tools and cloud providers, allowing teams to automate tasks across their entire toolstack. Blink includes an AI assistant that can generate custom workflows based on natural language descriptions, making automation accessible to both technical and non-technical security professionals. Teams can also create self-service apps that colleagues can use to request security operations or run common tasks without needing to understand automation details. The platform supports no-code workflows for simple tasks, low-code options for moderate complexity, and full code options for advanced customisation. Community-contributed automation packs enable teams to share solutions and learn from other organisations' approaches.
