Security-test every release
Security-test every release with Argus Pentest: a practical, on-prem approach built for Azerbaijani teams.
Enterprise-Grade Security Testing for Every Release
Argus Pentest delivers authenticated dynamic security scanning specifically engineered for enterprise web applications and their associated APIs. As a core component of the Argus self-hosted AI testing platform, it operates alongside QA and AI engines within a single deployment. This unified architecture allows teams to manage security testing through one console and one sign-in, sharing a secure, encrypted credential store and consistent model settings to ensure seamless integration into the development lifecycle. By prioritizing a self-hosted deployment model, Argus Pentest ensures that all scan data, sensitive credentials, and vulnerability reports remain strictly within your own infrastructure. This eliminates external SaaS dependencies and provides full data sovereignty. The system is designed to move beyond superficial scans by utilizing authenticated access, ensuring that security testing reaches the deep, authenticated surfaces of an application rather than stopping at the login page.
The Argus Pentest Advantage
Complete data sovereignty via self-hosted infrastructure with no external SaaS dependencies
Deep authenticated coverage that operates as a real logged-in user to uncover hidden vulnerabilities
High-fidelity results through automated re-verification and quarantine of non-reproducible findings
Streamlined operations using a single console and shared encrypted credential store for all engines
Strict security controls using explicit allow-lists to ensure only approved targets are scanned
Future-proof architecture with a CLI-driven engine that can be upgraded or replaced without platform disruption
Core Capabilities
Authenticated Scanning
Utilizes a scripted login through an encrypted credential store to obtain session cookies and bearer tokens, allowing the scanner to operate as a real logged-in user.
Synthesized API Discovery
Endpoints discovered during login and crawling seed a synthesized API specification, ensuring the scan reaches the authenticated surface instead of stopping at the login page.
AI-Driven Payload Generation
Leverages a text-based AI model specifically for payload generation and finding triage to enhance the scanning process.
Intelligent Finding Quarantine
Every finding is re-checked against the live target; those that cannot be verified are quarantined and excluded from severity totals to prevent false positives.
Honest-Failure Logic
Scans that cannot authenticate are marked as environment failures or inconclusive rather than being reported as 'clean' or as security exploits.
The Scanning Process
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the scan data and credential information stored?
All scan data, reports, and credentials stay on your own infrastructure. Because the platform is self-hosted, there is no external SaaS dependency, ensuring your sensitive security data never leaves your environment.
How does the platform prevent false positives from authentication errors?
Targets marked as requiring login cannot be scanned unauthenticated. The system refuses the scan rather than running it against an auth wall, which prevents the scanner from misinterpreting repeated error responses as multiple exploits.
What happens if a scan is unable to exercise the target application?
If a scan reaches the target but cannot exercise it—for example, if it is stopped by an authentication wall—it is marked as 'inconclusive.' This ensures the scan is not incorrectly reported as 'clean' when it failed to actually test the surface.
How is the AI model utilized during the scanning process?
The AI model is used exclusively for payload generation and finding triage. It operates on a 'text in, text out' basis and does not utilize vision capabilities.
Can the underlying scanning engine be updated or changed?
Yes. The platform uses Deep Eye, an open-source engine driven through a CLI contract. This allows the engine to be upgraded or replaced entirely without requiring changes to the core platform.
