Vulnerability posture
Every Mac and Linux machine is checked for missing OS security updates and known-vulnerable software, continuously. The match runs on the endpoint — your software inventory never leaves the machine.
Exposure management
Monitoring tells you when something goes wrong. Exposure management tells you where it could go wrong first: The unpatched software, the service exposed to the internet, the flaw attackers are exploiting right now. We do both, on the same agent, continuously.
The problem
A traditional scanner hands you hundreds of findings ranked by a theoretical score. It can't tell you which flaw is being exploited in the wild today, which vulnerable program is actually running on the machine, or what your computers look like from the outside. So the real risk hides in the noise, and the list gets ignored.
We fixed the ranking. The things attackers are using right now come first, and every finding is tied to what is actually happening on the machine.
What we watch
Continuously, not once a year — and without a second agent to install.
Every Mac and Linux machine is checked for missing OS security updates and known-vulnerable software, continuously. The match runs on the endpoint — your software inventory never leaves the machine.
We rank by what attackers are actually using. A flaw on the CISA and VulnCheck Known Exploited Vulnerabilities lists jumps the queue, so you fix what matters before the rest.
We show what the public internet sees of your internet-facing machines: Open ports, exposed services, and the CVEs tied to them. Outside-in, using only your public IP address.
In the console, every machine's external exposure is plotted on one map, with the known-exploited points called out, so you can take in your whole attack surface at a glance.
Where it pays off
Most tools do one or the other. Because ours does both, each makes the other sharper.
When something trips a detection, we check whether that program is also vulnerable. If it is a known-exploited flaw, the alert is escalated automatically, so the analyst sees that the flagged process is running software that is being exploited in the wild, without having to go and look. The original severity is kept alongside it, so the call stays auditable.
When a new vulnerability starts being exploited, we turn it into a ready-to-run hunt across your machines. You can answer “are we affected, and has anyone touched it?” the same day, not next quarter.
Why it's different
The same Scouter agent that watches for intrusions also measures your exposure. Nothing extra to install, and nothing extra to run.
Exposure is measured every day, so the picture is always current — not a point-in-time scan that is stale the week after it finishes.
Vulnerability matching happens on the machine; your inventory never leaves it. The outside-in view uses only your public IP address, looked up against internet-wide scan data.
Exposure management comes with continuous monitoring. The one-week Compromise Assessment is the easiest way to start.
