AEGYS Pulse · AEGYS Pentest
AEGYS adds two perspectives to your existing security architecture: Pulse makes suspicious network communication visible. Pentest examines which attack paths actually work. Your team receives concrete findings to assess risks and prioritise measures.
15 minutes to get oriented: your question, your environment and a sensible next step.
Analysis in Germany · Pulse: passive capture · Pentest: agreed test scope
CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE
“AEGYS pointed us to a connection we would never have noticed without the test. That alone made it worthwhile.”
AEGYS PULSE · AEGYS PENTEST
Observing ongoing activity and examining possible attack paths: both tasks deliver different insights for your security decisions.
AEGYS Pulse
Pulse analyses the network traffic captured via a mirror port or TAP. Suspicious connections and unusual communication patterns give your team concrete starting points for investigation.
You receive: findings on observed activity and the connections involved.
Visibility depends on the chosen capture point and the network segments covered.
AEGYS Pentest
Within the agreed scope, the autonomous pentest examines which attack paths are exploitable. It documents successful test paths and provides prioritised remediation recommendations.
You receive: traceable attack paths and concrete remediation recommendations.
Test scope and rules of engagement are agreed before the deployment.
SAMPLE ANALYSIS
A spike in network traffic is an observation to begin with. What matters for interpreting it are the systems and connections affected and the timing involved.
The chart shows documented exploit attempts over time. It makes no statement about whether successful or prevented attacks resulted from them.
Observation: Which activity stands out?
Context: Which systems and connections are affected?
Next step: What should the IT team examine more closely?
YOUR TRIGGER
You want to examine whether suspicious communication is still taking place on the network you observe.
Learn moreA connection or a behaviour stands out. You need additional findings to interpret it.
Learn moreYou want to examine which attack paths actually work and which remediation makes sense first.
Learn moreTECHNICAL FIT
Together with your team we clarify which question should be answered, which part of the network is relevant and how the results can feed into your existing processes.
Technology and architectureDATA AND RESPONSIBILITY
Location and analysis take place in Germany. The depth of capture is agreed to suit the environment.
The technical guidance combines experience from threat research, industrial security and cyber crisis management.
Behind AEGYS stands an advisory board of unusual depth — from science, critical infrastructure, international threat research, and global crisis management.
