Why passive
Every scan is a risk. We removed it.
Aggressive, always-on scanners can crash fragile devices, trip intrusion alarms, and hand an attacker a ready-made map if the tool itself is compromised. Apate Security is passive by default: it discovers every device, watches every connection and ranks every threat by observing — so it's safe to run anywhere. When you need to go deeper, active scans (port & service discovery) are there the moment you ask — off by default and fully under your control. You get the full picture of your network without adding a single new way to break it.
- Passive by default — active scans are optional & under your control; no exploitation or spoofing, ever
- Nothing to deploy on endpoints; no agents, no drivers
- Safe to run on production, OT and fragile IoT networks
- What it sees, it explains — with pivots, verdicts and reports
