Cloud Security Autopilot
Securing the cloud isn't easy, regardless of your team's size. It's not enough to just detect issues - they need to be investigated, context of environment understood, and then fixed.
Imagine if you could secure your cloud automatically. ARGOS finds, investigates and fixes cloud vulnerabilities - automatically, with safe rollback. We automated the most common security checks, so you don't have to.
Visualise exploitable issues with context - view the entire kill chain. Say good-bye to tedious and soul-sucking analysis - connect your cloud environment in minutes with a free 14-day trial.
