Continuous coverage from a lightweight agent.
Deploy a small CloneGuard agent to every laptop, server, cloud VM, and container host you care about. Get authenticated-quality vulnerability, patch, and configuration data streamed continuously, on-network or off.
What a modern endpoint vulnerability program actually needs.
Deep host visibility, continuous telemetry, credentialed-quality findings without credentials, and reporting mapped to your auditors' frameworks, all through the CloneGuard platform.
Lightweight, Always-On Agent
A small, resource-friendly agent lives on each host and streams telemetry continuously, so findings appear the moment they exist.
Works Off-Network
Remote laptops, field devices, and road warriors stay covered without VPN. The agent reports directly to CloneGuard over TLS.
Deep Software Inventory
Every OS package, third-party application, browser extension, and runtime is inventoried for accurate CVE matching and SBOM export.
Authenticated by Design
The agent runs locally with the visibility it needs, so you get credentialed-quality results without managing scan credentials per host.
Configuration & Patch Posture
Detect missing patches, insecure configurations, end-of-life software, and hardening gaps against CIS and vendor baselines.
Unified Reporting
Agent findings live alongside network, PCI ASV, and pentest results in one CloneGuard console, with remediation reports and framework-mapped exports.
Every agent, every finding, in the same CloneGuard console.
Agent-based scanning is one module inside CloneGuard. Its telemetry lives alongside network, PCI ASV, and pentest results, so one console tells the whole story of your exposure.
Your posture, what changed, and what to do next.
Where Agent-Based Scanning Wins
When an asset moves, changes constantly, or sits outside the network you control, an agent on the host is the fastest path to accurate, continuous vulnerability data.
- Remote and roaming laptops
- Cloud VMs, containers, and auto-scaling groups
- Hardened servers where credential-based scanning is painful
- Environments where scan windows are hard to coordinate
Where Network Scanning Still Belongs
Agents cover what you can install on; network scanning fills the rest. The two are complementary and both live in the same CloneGuard portal.
- PCI ASV external scanning obligations
- Unmanaged and BYO devices on your network
- Network appliances, printers, IoT, and OT
- Perimeter and public-facing infrastructure
From first install to verified fix, in five steps.
A predictable model your team runs independently, with support a message away for deployment or tuning help.
Deploy
Push the agent through Intune, Jamf, Group Policy, RMM, or a one-line install script. Bake it into cloud images for auto-scaling fleets.
Inventory
Each agent enumerates installed software, running services, patch state, and configuration posture from inside the host, no credentials required.
Detect
Findings flow to the CloneGuard platform continuously and are correlated against current CVE, exploit, and misconfiguration intelligence.
Prioritize
Every issue is scored on severity, exploitability, asset criticality, and framework impact so remediation effort starts where risk is highest.
Verify
Rescan on demand or wait for the next telemetry cycle. Closed findings drop off automatically, and trend views show progress over time.
One agent, everywhere your workloads run.
Ship the agent through the tools you already use: MDM for laptops, Group Policy or RMM for servers, golden image or Terraform for cloud. Nothing about your deployment stack has to change.

Continuous evidence for the frameworks that matter.
Agent findings are pre-mapped to the controls auditors ask about, replacing the point-in-time scan PDF you used to assemble the week of the audit with continuous, timestamped host-level evidence.
Not sure which frameworks apply to your environment? A senior specialist can walk you through it.
Continuous coverage, deeper visibility, cleaner audits.
Real-Time Visibility
New CVEs are matched against your live inventory as soon as they land, so you learn about exposure in hours, not at the next scan window.
No Scan Windows to Coordinate
There is no traffic to schedule, no maintenance window to negotiate, and no firewall rules to open. The agent just reports.
Low Overhead, No End-User Impact
Sub-100 MB idle memory, minimal CPU outside collection cycles, and compressed telemetry keep the agent invisible on laptops and busy servers alike.
Evidence Auditors Accept
Continuous, timestamped host-level evidence with framework mappings replaces point-in-time scan PDFs pulled together the week of an audit.
Built for teams whose assets do not sit still.
IT & Security Teams with Remote Workforces
Cover laptops that rarely touch the corporate network without shipping them home over a VPN.
Financial & Payment Environments
Continuous, authenticated coverage of workstations and servers to satisfy PCI DSS 4.0.1 vulnerability management expectations.
Healthcare & HIPAA-Regulated Businesses
Inventory and monitor clinical workstations, back-office servers, and cloud workloads without disrupting patient-facing systems.
Cloud-Native & DevOps Teams
Bake the agent into golden images so every auto-scaled instance and container host reports the moment it boots.
An AI assistant that turns agent telemetry into a remediation plan.
Add the Clone Systems AI assistant to your agent fleet and stop scrolling through host-by-host findings. It clusters vulnerabilities, ranks what to fix first, and hands your team a ready-to-work remediation plan.
- Fleet-wide clustering. Related findings across thousands of hosts collapse into a handful of work items you can actually assign.
- Plain-English findings. Every vulnerability is rewritten in language engineers and non-engineers can act on together.
- Risk-ranked priority. Exploitability, asset value, and framework impact combine into a single, defensible priority order.
- Auditor-ready summaries. Draft executive and compliance-mapped narratives you can edit and export from the portal.
Agent-Based Scanning is one module. Here is what pairs with it.
Add network vulnerability assessment, PCI ASV scanning, or managed penetration testing to build a full offensive and defensive program on the same platform.
Continuous agent coverage, live in days, not months.
Scope your fleet with a senior specialist, see the CloneGuard platform reporting from live agents, and get a plan for standing up continuous vulnerability coverage across every host you care about.
- Windows, macOS, and Linux coverage from day one
- Deploy through Intune, Jamf, GPO, RMM, or cloud images
- Continuous telemetry, on-network and off-VPN
- Support team available to help you troubleshoot
