Vulnerability Management

◆

Aegis is the CISO enablement layer that runs PCS — Pistos Compliance Sentinel, the platform that turns each regulatory requirement into a scored question and keeps the evidence behind every answer. Aegis delivers CISO-level accountability two ways: Pistos supplies a named senior advisor as your designated CISO, or your internal CISO runs the program backed by the full capability of PCS.

Skopein is the outward-looking pillar. It reads what is actually configured in your environment — not what vendor dashboards report — and maps that against what attackers can see from the internet.

Every finding is prioritized, attributed, and routed into the remediation process. The point is not to produce a longer list; it's to close gaps before an attacker or an examiner finds them first.

Internal Vulnerability Scanning

Authenticated scans of your workstations, servers, and managed cloud tenants for missing patches, misconfigurations, and drift from the written baseline.

Web Application Scanning

Dynamic scans of agency-facing sites, client portals, and custom web applications — testing for OWASP Top 10 flaws and the authentication weaknesses that lead to account takeover.

Threat Hunting

Active search through authentication logs, process telemetry, and network flow data for the indicators of compromise that pattern-based tools miss — credential misuse, lateral movement, persistence mechanisms.

Perimeter Scanning

External reconnaissance mapping what an attacker sees from the internet — exposed services, expired certificates, misconfigured DNS, leaked credentials in public repositories.

Event Log Parsing

Aggregation of Windows, Microsoft 365, and cloud service logs into a single searchable record — retained for the minimum window your insurers and regulators expect.

How Skopein fits the program

Skopein is the technical arm of the program — the one that produces evidence rather than documentation. Every finding lands on the control it answers, with the date it was found: nobody retypes anything, and the score moves because the scan moved it. Those findings drive the PCS risk assessment (inherent risk ratings are defensible because scan data stands behind them), the quarterly posture reviews (controls are scored against what was actually observed, not what was written down), and Mathisi's training content (phishing simulations pivot toward the attack patterns Skopein saw last month).

The difference between Skopein and running a vulnerability scanner once a quarter is continuity. The findings are tracked to closure. The scans are authenticated so they see what an unauthenticated scan misses. And the human analyst layer — the threat hunter — catches what automated tools were never built to find.
