Step map
Instead of relying on a single generic AI model, this pipeline connects specialized tools to maximize quality. First, you'll use Lansweeper to a clear, documented scope and asset list ready for scanning. Then, you pass the output to Aqua Security to scanner configured and ready to execute with appropriate policies and credentials. Then, you pass the output to Aqua Security to complete vulnerability scan results for all assets, with no critical gaps. Then, you pass the output to Brinqa to a prioritized list of verified vulnerabilities with assigned owners and deadlines. Then, you pass the output to ArmorCode to all critical and high-severity vulnerabilities remediated or accepted with documented exceptions. Then, you pass the output to Beagle Security to deep validation of security posture with manual exploitation results and verified fixes. Finally, Glean AI is used to clear, actionable reports for both technical teams and leadership, with a record for compliance.
Define Scope and Gather Assets
A clear, documented scope and asset list ready for scanning.
Configure Scanning Tools and Policies
Scanner configured and ready to execute with appropriate policies and credentials.
Execute Automated Vulnerability Scan
Complete vulnerability scan results for all assets, with no critical gaps.
Analyze and Prioritize Findings
A prioritized list of verified vulnerabilities with assigned owners and deadlines.
Remediate and Patch Vulnerabilities
All critical and high-severity vulnerabilities remediated or accepted with documented exceptions.
Conduct Manual Penetration Testing (Optional)
Deep validation of security posture with manual exploitation results and verified fixes.
Generate Executive and Technical Reports
Clear, actionable reports for both technical teams and leadership, with a record for compliance.
Identify all systems, endpoints, and applications to be scanned. Collect network ranges, URLs, and API endpoints. Document any exclusions or special handling requirements.
Why Lansweeper: Lansweeper provides agentless network scanning to discover and inventory assets, which directly supports the asset inventory need for defining scope.
Select appropriate scanning tools (Nessus, OpenVAS, Qualys) and configure scan policies (e.g., severity thresholds, port ranges, plugin sets). Set up authenticated scans where credentials are available.
Why Aqua Security: Aqua Security offers vulnerability scanning and cloud security posture management, aligning with the need to configure a vulnerability scanner and policies.
Run the configured scan against all in-scope assets. Monitor for errors or incomplete scans. Re-run any failed targets.
Why Aqua Security: Aqua Security's vulnerability scanning capability directly executes automated scans, matching the core need of this step.
Review scan results, remove false positives, and assign severity ratings (CVSS). Prioritize based on exploitability, asset criticality, and business impact.
Why Brinqa: Brinqa specializes in exposure prioritization and risk assessment, directly addressing the need to analyze and prioritize findings.
Apply patches, configuration changes, or compensating controls for each prioritized finding. Verify fixes with a targeted re-scan.
Why ArmorCode: ArmorCode offers remediation orchestration and unified vulnerability management, directly supporting the patch and re-scan workflow.
Engage ethical hackers to perform manual exploitation attempts on high-value or complex targets (e.g., web apps, APIs, critical infrastructure). This step validates automated findings and uncovers logic flaws.
Why Beagle Security: Beagle Security provides automated vulnerability assessment and API security testing, which can supplement manual penetration testing efforts.
Compile findings into two reports: one technical (for engineers) with raw data and remediation steps, and one executive (for management) with risk summaries, metrics, and trends.
Why Glean AI: Glean AI automates data analysis and report generation, directly supporting the creation of executive and technical reports.
§ Before you start
Teams or solo builders working on development tasks who want a repeatable process instead of one-off tool experiments.
No. Start with the top pick for each step, then replace tools only if they do not fit your pricing, compliance, or output needs.
Open the mapped task page and compare top options side by side. Prioritize output quality, integration fit, and predictable cost before scaling.
