Hakware Scout

An agent built to show you the shadows on your network

Hakware Scout is an agent installed on your network to detect and identify all devices within your network’s range. Acting as an intelligent scout, it scans for and categorizes devices, providing a detailed map of network-connected assets.

This capability is essential for visibility into shadow IT, unauthorized devices, or unmanaged endpoints that could pose a security risk. With Hakware Scout, organizations gain an accurate and comprehensive understanding of their network landscape, enabling more robust asset management and enhancing network security.

How Hakware Archangel Works

Why is it important to continuously run vulnerability checks?

A vulnerability scanner enables organizations to monitor their networks, systems, and applications for security vulnerabilities.

As part of a wider security strategy, organisations should be running continuous vulnerability scans to pick up on new and emerging cyber threats. As you start to proactively monitor the security of your business-critical applications, you will have a clearer idea about where you need to focus your security efforts.

Why use Hakware Archangel?

Identify vulnerabilities before cyber criminals do.

Our vulnerability scanning mitigates the risks of a data breach, which will come with a range of costs, including remediation, the loss of customers as a result of reputational damage and fines.

Vulnerability scanning is not explicitly required by the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) or POPI (Protection Of Personal Information Act), but the Regulation does require organisations that process personal data to ensure that they have implemented appropriate technical and organisational security measures – which includes identifying vulnerabilities

The international standard for information security, ISO 27001, also requires organisations to take similar steps, and the PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) includes vulnerability scanning in its list of requirements
