Clarion versus Tines Choose Clarion to run security workflows across your tools and internal systems
Start with the security job you need done. Clarion brings prebuilt agents, shared environment context, and case handling to your existing stack. Native integrations and custom MCP/API connections let the workflow reach the tools your team actually uses.
One Okta tenant, first two weeks
53 identity alerts triaged and closed
- Unusual sign-ins
- Unfamiliar locations
- Impossible travel
53 identity alerts handled in the first two weeks
An MSP connected one Okta tenant to Clarion. In its first two weeks of trial, Clarion triaged 53 identity alerts. All closed as benign or false positives without consuming the engineers' triage time.
Anonymized customer result from a single-tenant trial. These were benign or false-positive alerts, not 53 attacks.

Start with an agent built for the work
Clarion supports prebuilt security agents that you can use, adapt, or extend. Choose the job, connect the relevant tools, and define the authority the agent needs.
Your team has a concrete workflow to configure and review from the start.
Explore Cantina's agents- Step 1 Choose the job Start from a prebuilt security agent, adapt it, or build your own.
- Step 2 Connect the relevant tools Native integrations plus any internal MCP or API tools.
- Step 3 Define its authority Set which actions run on their own and which need approval.

Bring your internal tools into the investigation
-
Custom MCP
Let Clarion agents call tools exposed by your MCP server.
-
Custom API
Connect internal context and approved actions without an MCP server.
-
Generic webhook
Send JSON alerts from systems outside the catalog.
-
External MCP access
Operate the Clarion workspace from an MCP client.
Connections have scoped, revocable access. Available reads and actions depend on the connector and permissions.
Explore connection optionsStart with the identity workflow, then extend it to your business
The 53-alert customer example starts with a concrete connection: an Okta tenant. The next question is what else your team needs to reach a decision.
A workflow may need device evidence, a documented exception, or the owner of an internal service. Connect the supported systems, expose any internal lookup through MCP or an API, and define which actions need approval.
This is where Clarion's security agents, shared context, and case handling belong together: one operational job with the relevant tools available to it.
See Clarion workflows- Okta identity alert An unusual sign-in or impossible-travel alert opens the case.
- Device evidence Endpoint state from your connected EDR.
- Documented exception Runbooks and approved exceptions from your knowledge base.
- Internal service owner Example Looked up through your MCP server or API.
- Decision within policy Closed with a recorded verdict, or routed for approval.

Questions, answered
Everything else, ask us live, book a demo.
Yes. Connect a custom MCP server or API to give agents access to your tools. Use a generic webhook for incoming alerts, or access the workspace through an external MCP client. Configure the exposed operations and permissions for your workflow.
Choose Clarion for a security-operations workflow that brings together agents, case handling, shared context, and the connections needed to finish the job. Both products are extensible. Clarion makes the security task the starting point and lets you add native or internal tools around it.
Yes. Cantina documents options to start with prebuilt agents, adapt them, or build your own. Confirm the tools, permissions, and deployment requirements for your intended workflow.
Start the evaluation with one supported workflow and a clear boundary of responsibility. Expand only after reviewing its results and determining which existing processes it can take over.
Ask both vendors to scope the same workflow volume, integrations, and support. Include setup, customization, monitoring, and ongoing maintenance in your cost model.
