A pentest is a snapshot.
Networks change every day: a new printer here, a forgotten test server there, an update left pending for months. An annual pentest sees exactly one day of that — everything after it stays in the dark.
Each box represents one week of the year.
Argus24 checks every day —
all on its own.
Four steps, every single day. Nobody has to maintain lists or start scans by hand.
Discover
Finds every device on the network — from servers to refrigeration controllers, without you maintaining IP addresses.
Assess
Detects what is running on a device and automatically selects the right testing tools.
Compare
Compares each run with the previous one: What is new, what was fixed, what remains?
Report
Raises the alarm by email as soon as things get serious — and delivers reports for your documentation.
Proven tools,
one clear result.
Argus24 does not reinvent testing. It makes targeted use of the security industry's established tools — and translates their results into a common, understandable language.
Inventory
Finds devices and open services.
Known vulnerabilities
Known security gaps and misconfigurations.
Emerging vulnerabilities
Detection rules for newly disclosed vulnerabilities — updated daily.
Web applications
Security of web applications and web servers.
Systems & controllers
Refrigeration, heating, air conditioning, controllers — tested with particular care.
Accounts & permissions
Checks your Active Directory — read-only.
Web servers get web checks, domain controllers an identity check — automatically, matched to each device.
OT stands for Operational Technology: technology that controls physical equipment — refrigeration, heating, ventilation, building automation, production. Such devices are often sensitive and stay in service for years without updates; that is why Argus24 tests them with particular care.
You see at once what has changed.
Every finding is also mapped to the international reference list for web risks.
The network map shows where things are on fire.
At a glance
Every device color-coded by risk, with its device type — sorted by network and subnet.
Who talks to whom?
Scans, decoy hits, alerts — and, in red, whatever is reachable from the internet.
What happened?
Play back the last hours or days — and jump straight to the next anomaly.
Decoys that give attackers away.
Scanners find vulnerabilities — a honeypot catches the attacker. Argus24 sets out decoys that nobody needs in day-to-day operations. Anyone who touches them has no business there: every contact is an instant alarm, with practically no false alarms.
If the access comes from your own network, Argus24 points directly to the affected device — a typical sign of an attacker who is already moving through the network.
The decoys run on a separate, fully isolated device — cleanly separated from the production network.
Fake servers
Deceptively real services such as SSH, SMB, RDP or admin interfaces.
Tempting documents
Files and canary tokens that raise an alarm the moment they are opened.
Seemingly old accounts
A honey account in AD that looks attractive — but has no real permissions at all.
Even the refrigerated display case is a computer.
In the fall of 2026, refrigeration systems in hundreds of supermarkets were heated up remotely — via controllers whose user interface was reachable from the internet. Argus24 now specifically keeps an eye on such devices.
Recommendation: remove the port forwarding on the router; remote maintenance via VPN only.
What kind of device is it?
Refrigeration, heating, air conditioning, building automation, controllers, printers, cameras — with manufacturer and model.
Where is it vulnerable?
Known vulnerabilities of exactly these devices — and, on request, whether the factory default password still works. Password tests only with your authorization.
Is it reachable from the internet?
Daily via the SinCera hub. If so: immediate alarm. No findings leave your network in the process — the hub only sees what anyone on the internet can see anyway.
Not just the network — the identities, too.
Pure network scanners find open ports and CVEs, but not the class of error behind the most serious incidents: forgotten but still enabled, over-privileged domain accounts. A read-only AD module checks the identity hygiene of your Active Directory — and cross-checks which accounts are allowed to log on to DMZ-exposed hosts. It reports, but changes nothing.

Illustrative mockups · final interface may differ
We only test
what you authorize.
Written authorization
Every network segment needs a signed engagement — otherwise no testing. Expired means: no scan.
Clear boundaries
You define IP ranges, time windows and testing depth yourself.
No attacks
Argus24 finds vulnerabilities but never exploits them. Password tests only with your authorization.
Emergency stop
One click immediately stops all running and scheduled tests.
Relocation guard
On an unknown network, the box pauses until you confirm the network.
Logging and roles
Every action recorded in a tamper-proof log, permissions based on role.
Under the hood: every target is checked against the allowlist and global denylist before every run · append-only audit log · self-hosted — your data stays with you.
Up and running in three steps.
Define the scope
Specify authorized target ranges and bind them to an authorization record.
Choose policy & schedule
Configure engines, intensity and scan windows — once set up, it runs on its own.
Monitor & respond
The platform scans automatically, shows changes and raises alerts on critical findings.
Built for continuous accountability.
IT security service providers
Continuous client monitoring between the major audits — with auditable reports.
Internal security & IT teams
A permanent view of your own attack surface instead of annual spot checks.
Compliance environments
A traceable, documented vulnerability history over time.
