RECON
Surface agent
Continuously enumerates external and internal assets, certificates, exposed services, and shadow infrastructure — and flags what appeared since the last pass.
Cynodes Sentinel
A coordinated fleet of security agents, always mid-engagement.
Sentinel does not scan and score. It reasons. Each agent holds an objective, works the environment toward it, hands what it learns to the next agent, and stops only when it has proven whether a path is real.
Agent architecture
Five specialists, one shared memory.
Agents pass context between one another the way a red team passes notes — what worked, what was noisy, what to try next.
EXPLOIT
Path agent
Chains weaknesses into realistic attack paths — credential reuse, misconfigured trust, over-permissive identity — rather than reporting isolated CVEs.
VALIDATE
Proof agent
Attempts safe, bounded exploitation to establish whether a path is genuinely reachable, and captures the evidence trail that proves it.
DETECT
Telemetry agent
Watches whether your own tooling caught the activity. Every unnoticed action becomes a documented detection gap with a suggested rule.
REMEDIATE
Fix agent
Drafts the remediation plan — config change, architecture change, or compensating control — and routes it to the Cynodes integration team with retest criteria attached.
CONTROL
You, at every gate
Nothing destructive happens without an approval. Rules of engagement, blast-radius limits, and stop conditions are set by your team and enforced by the orchestrator.
severity HIGH · exploitable · confirmed
entry public build runner, unauth artifact read
chain artifact → embedded token → prod role assume
blast 3 data stores · 1 customer-facing service
detected no — no alert fired in 41 min of activity
fix scope runner IAM, rotate token, add egress rule
owner Cynodes integration · ETA 2 business days
retest auto-scheduled on deploy
What you receive
Findings you can act on the same morning.
A Sentinel finding is not a severity score and a link to a vendor advisory. It is a reproducible chain, an impact assessment, a detection verdict, and a named owner for the fix.
- Reproduction steps and captured evidence for every confirmed path
- MITRE ATT&CK technique mapping across the full chain
- Explicit statement of whether your stack detected the activity
- Remediation plan with effort estimate and retest criteria
Data, safety & control
Autonomy with a hand on the brake.
Handing agents the ability to attack your own environment is a serious thing. We treat it that way.
Scoped by contract
Rules of engagement define every in-scope range, identity, and window. Out-of-scope targets are hard-blocked at the orchestrator, not merely discouraged in a prompt.
Human approval gates
Actions that could disrupt production require a named approver. Every agent decision is logged with its reasoning, inputs, and outcome for later review.
Your data stays yours
Customer telemetry is never used to train shared models. Evidence is encrypted at rest, retained on your schedule, and exportable in full whenever you ask.
Common questions
Before you ask.
For most clients it replaces the quarterly commodity test and complements a deep annual assessment. Continuous emulation catches the drift between tests — the new subdomain, the widened security group, the contractor account nobody closed.
Validation is bounded by design: proof-of-reachability rather than full exploitation, destructive actions gated behind human approval, and hard stop conditions you define. We also run an initial pass in observe-only mode so you can see the behavior before enabling anything active.
Roughly two weeks: scoping and rules of engagement, read-only discovery, baseline report, then progressive enablement of active testing. You have a usable asset and exposure baseline before any agent takes an action.
No. Plenty of clients run Sentinel and remediate in-house with their own teams. The integration practice exists because many organizations would rather hand the fix to the people who found it.
Sentinel is priced by environment size and testing cadence; integration and managed services are quoted per project or per month. We give a firm number after the scoping call — no usage surprises.
