Agent Sid
Hackers Eye View
Imagine looking at your organization the way hackers do from the outside looking in. What do they see? What can they reach? What would they attack first?
Agent Sid does exactly that. It continuously discovers your internet-facing assets across all subsidiaries, cloud environments, and domains, then evaluates them from a hacker's perspective—identifying risky exposures, open ports, vulnerable services, expired certificates, and typosquatted domains.
Why Agent Sid Matters
- See what hackers see
Get a complete hacker's-eye view of your external attack surface. Understand your perimeter exactly as attackers would understand.
- Discover hidden assets
Uncover shadow IT, unmanaged subsidiaries, and cloud assets exposed to the internet that you might not know about.
- Identify risky exposures
Spot exposed databases, risky open ports, expired certificates, and vulnerable services before attackers exploit them.
- Generate leadership reports
Create comprehensive EASM reports suitable for executives, auditors, red teams, and security assessments.
-
Reduce Blind Spots
Eliminate gaps in perimeter visibility. Understand what is exposed and where vulnerabilities lie.
Agent Sid evaluates only external-facing assets. Internal exposures, internal networks, and internal vulnerabilities are out of scope. This focused approach is intentional, it shows you the perimeter from a hacker's perspective.
What Agent Sid Does
Starts from Trusted Seed Inputs
Begins discovery with known inputs like organization name, domains, or netblocks to anchor and focus the discovery process accurately.
Discovers Your External Attack Surface
Identifies internet-facing assets across domains, subsidiaries, cloud providers, and IP space through horizontal and vertical domain enumeration.
Attributes Assets to Your Organization
Correlates DNS, WHOIS, and infrastructure signals to map discovered assets and subsidiaries to your organization.
Tags and Adds Assets to Your Inventory
Tags discovered assets as EASM and adds them to your ETM Unified Asset Inventory for tracking and analysis.
Analyzes External Exposures
Evaluates risky open ports, exposed services, databases, weak SSL/TLS configurations, expired certificates, and typosquatted domains.
Detects High-Risk and Toxic Combinations
Identifies priority exposures such as internet-facing assets with critical vulnerabilities, high-risk ports with available exploits, and publicly reachable databases.
Generates EASM Summary Reports
Creates comprehensive, actionable External Attack Surface Management reports that capture your current external exposure in shareable, leadership-ready formats.
What You Actually Get
Agent Sid produces three key types of output:
-
Exposure Summaries
Point-in-time snapshots of your internet-facing exposure displayed on Agent Sid's details page. Shows assets, risky ports, databases, certificates, and domains.
-
EASM Summary Reports
Downloadable PDF reports capturing your external exposure in structured, shareable format. Suitable for leadership, audits, and red teams.
-
Continuous Monitoring
Automatic updates with exposure snapshots and EASM report notifications. Compact, readable format for stakeholders to understand exposure without platform login.
-
Email Notifications
Automatic updates with exposure snapshots and EASM report notifications. Compact, readable format for stakeholders to understand exposure without platform login.
Purpose and Scope
Agent Sid gives you full visibility into what attackers can see and reach from the internet. It is an outside-in view of your organization's perimeter, showing the external attack surface through a hacker's eyes.
What Agent Sid Analyzes
Agent Sid focuses exclusively on internet-facing assets and external exposures:
- Internet-facing assets (Across all domains and subsidiaries)
- Risky open ports and exposed services (SSH, RDP, Telnet, FTP, SNMP, database ports)
- Exposed databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, MSSQL, MongoDB, Redis, Oracle)
- Vulnerable services and toxic combinations (Internet-facing + critical vulnerabilities)
- Expired certificates and weak SSL/TLS (Trust and encryption weaknesses)
- Typosquatted domains (Look-alike domains used for phishing and impersonation)
- Subsidiary footprint (Related organizations contributing to attack surface)
Agent Sid evaluates ONLY external-facing assets. Internal exposures are out of scope. This focused approach ensures you understand your perimeter risk accurately.
