◆ Enterprise capabilities · Passive · Agentless · Org-wide

Everything Apate sees, detects and governs.

One passive sensor layer gives you organization-wide visibility, threat detection and compliance evidence - across HQ, datacenter, branches and OT - without an endpoint agent, an inbound port, or a single active scan. Below is the full map of what it covers.

Coverage at a glance

One sensor. The whole picture.

Every capability draws from the same passive observation - traffic, DNS and device metadata that already crosses your network. Nothing is probed, injected or decrypted.

🗺️

Asset discovery & inventory

Every device seen on the wire - IP, MAC, vendor, type, hostname, inferred OS, open ports and role - built into a live inventory with no active scan.

🕸️

Topology & flows

Who talks to whom: north-south egress and east-west internal traffic, gateways, segments and the full connection graph.

🌐

DNS & domain intelligence

Every domain queried org-wide - surfacing shadow services, tunneling, DGA and lookalike/typosquat domains.

📡

Traffic & application visibility

Which protocols, services and external destinations are in use, with volumes and top talkers per segment.

🔐

Encryption & TLS posture

JA3 fingerprints, TLS versions, weak ciphers, a certificate inventory and post-quantum (PQC) readiness.

🎯

Continuous threat detection

Beaconing, exfiltration, lateral movement, recon and known-bad indicators - flagged from behavior, not signatures alone.

Visibility & discovery

Turn an opaque network into a live map.

Most organizations can't fully answer "what is connected, and where is it talking?" Apate answers it continuously, passively, from the traffic that already flows past each sensor.

Live asset inventory - vendor, device type, hostname, inferred OS and observed ports
East-west and north-south flow map, with per-segment top talkers
Full DNS visibility, including newly-seen and rare destinations
Baseline drift alerts - a new device, a newly-opened port, a new external service

Live network topology and asset map built passively from observed traffic

Threat detection

Catch the behaviors that signatures miss.

Passive analytics over DNS, flows and TLS metadata surface the moves an intruder makes after they're in - shrinking dwell time and acting as a force-multiplier for a lean SOC.

📶

Beaconing / C2

Timing-regularity (jitter) analysis flags periodic call-outs to command-and-control, even over encrypted channels.

📤

Data exfiltration

Outbound-volume anomalies highlight destinations receiving far more than they send - a classic exfil signature.

↔️

Lateral movement

Internal traffic on admin ports (SMB, RDP, WinRM) that deviates from baseline - the tell-tale of an attacker moving.

🧬

Malware fingerprints (JA3)

Observed JA3/TLS fingerprints matched against offline threat-intel feeds - malware families identified without decryption.

🛰️

DNS tunneling & DGA

Entropy and length analysis on DNS queries catches data smuggled over DNS and algorithmically-generated domains.

🔎

Recon & scanning

A host touching many ports or peers in a short window is surfaced as internal reconnaissance.

Governance & exposure

Govern the fastest-growing, least-watched risk.

Shadow tools, machine identities and third-party connections expand faster than any team can track by hand. Apate makes them visible - and flags the exposures attackers look for first.

Shadow IT, unsanctioned SaaS and remote-access/tunnel tools (TeamViewer, AnyDesk, ngrok, Tor)
Shadow AI - which AI services are being used, and by whom
Non-human & machine identities (NHI) and their M2M communication
Cleartext protocols and credential exposure; end-of-life and unpatched systems (inferred)

Shadow service, identity and exposure findings surfaced passively

OT / IoT

Reach the segments active tools aren't allowed to touch.

Passive observation is the only safe way to monitor fragile industrial, medical and IoT systems - where an active scan can knock a controller offline. Apate maps and monitors them at zero risk.

Baseline normal behavior and flag anomalies and unexpected external talk
No injected packets, no load, no chance of tripping a sensitive device

Passive OT and IoT device visibility across restricted segments

Compliance & reporting

Evidence auditors accept - and a story the board understands.

📋

Audit-ready inventory

A continuously-maintained asset and service inventory - the artifact almost every framework asks for first.

🌍

Data-flow & geo mapping

Where traffic goes, by country and ASN - supporting privacy, data-residency and third-party review.

🧭

Framework mapping

Findings mapped to NIST, ISO 27001, PCI DSS and GDPR-relevant controls, ready to hand to an assessor.

📊

Executive risk reporting

A single posture score and trend, in board-ready reports that help a CISO prioritize budget.

Who it helps

Value for every seat in the room.

🎖️

CISO & leadership

A defensible posture score, board-ready reporting and a clear view of exposure to prioritize spend.

🛰️

SOC & analysts

Early detection and a full investigation timeline - "what happened, what's the scope" answered in minutes.

🧑‍💻

Network & IT ops

A live inventory and topology, plus drift alerts when the network changes underneath them.

📑

GRC & compliance

Continuous inventory, data-flow maps and framework mapping - audit evidence without a fire drill.

🏭

OT / plant engineers

Visibility into industrial segments with a guarantee of zero interference to sensitive equipment.

🤝

MSSPs & consultants

One collector across many client sensors, with branded, per-engagement reporting.

What "passive" means

Honest about the boundaries.

The passive model is a security control in itself. Being clear about what it does and doesn't do is part of that - so there are no surprises in a pilot.

🧾

Metadata, not payloads

It analyzes fingerprints and metadata; it does not decrypt content or capture files, packets or credentials.

📍

Coverage follows the sensor

It sees traffic that crosses a monitored point. Org-wide coverage comes from placing sensors at the gateway, core and key segments.

🚫

No endpoint agent

There's no host state (installed software, local files) except what can be inferred from the network - by design.

🛡

No active probing

Nothing is scanned or injected - which is exactly why it's safe on OT and adds zero load or risk to the network.
