Product Description

Cronus offers CyBot, a platform the company describes as “a next-generation vulnerability management tool as well as the world’s first automated pen testing solution.” Imitating human hackers, it conducts continuous real-time penetration and reporting on global systems. It comes in three versions: CyBot Proc, which includes the core BAS engine; CyBot Enterprise, which allows larger enterprises to deploy several CyBots at once; and CyBot Enterprise MSSP for managed security service providers. All three offer continuous silent vulnerability scanning on all IP-based devices on-premises or in the cloud.
