ADVANCED INTELLIGENCE ASSESSMENT
What a sophisticated threat actor
sees about your organisation
before they use it against you.
Argus is a staged intelligence assessment engine. It is non-intrusive, evidence-backed, appliance-based, and designed around AI-assisted and automated threat actor methodology.
It helps leadership understand what can be inferred about the organisation from the outside before that intelligence is used by adversaries, competitors, fraud actors, or automated reconnaissance systems.
Selective Deployment · Pricing Starts at US$5,000/year · Briefing Required
Argus is not deployed as a commodity scanner. It is available through a briefing-led selection process because the output can expose sensitive organisational weaknesses, inferred control gaps, and potential attack paths. Elytra deploys Argus only where there is authorised scope, clear ownership, and leadership commitment to act on findings.

THE THREAT CONTEXT
Reconnaissance has changed. Most organisations are still defending against yesterday’s model.
Modern threat actors do not need to begin with exploitation. They can collect signals, correlate public exposure, infer internal controls, map third-party dependencies, identify weak points, and build a decision-ready attack profile before touching the organisation directly.
AI-assisted reconnaissance makes this faster, broader, and more systematic. The risk is not only a known vulnerability. The risk is the picture that emerges when exposed assets, employee signals, technology choices, control assumptions, supplier dependencies, domain patterns, and public information are analysed together.
Argus was designed to surface this class of risk before it becomes an incident.
WHAT ARGUS DOES
Argus builds an evidence-backed view of what can be seen, inferred, and connected.
Argus does not behave like a traditional vulnerability scanner. It does not rely on noisy exploitation, intrusive probing, or generic severity scoring. It examines externally observable signals and converts them into intelligence that leadership can understand, challenge, prioritise, and act upon.
The result is a coherent intelligence picture: what is visible, what it implies, how those implications connect, which control assumptions may be weak, and which attack paths deserve leadership attention.
External visibility
Maps what can be observed about the organisation from outside the perimeter, including exposed digital signals, technology indicators, naming patterns, domains, services, and publicly inferable relationships.
Control inference
Assesses what observable behaviour and configuration may indicate about internal control maturity, monitoring discipline, exposure governance, access hygiene, and operational oversight.
Attack path context
Connects individual findings into meaningful paths that show how a threat actor could move from reconnaissance to targeting, social engineering, credential abuse, exploitation planning, or business disruption.
STAGED ANALYSIS
Four stages. One coherent picture.
Stage 1: Reconnaissance Mapping
Maps what is observable about your organisation from an external vantage point. This is the same starting position a patient adversary, automated reconnaissance system, or intelligence-led threat actor would use.
Stage 2: Exposure Analysis
Identifies exposed conditions and assesses them in the context of what they may enable. The focus is not only whether something is visible, but why that visibility matters.
Stage 3: Control Inference
Infers likely control gaps from observable patterns, behaviour, configuration, service exposure, governance signals, and external evidence.
Stage 4: Attack Path Analysis
Synthesises findings into coherent attack paths that connect reconnaissance, exposure, control assumptions, and potential business impact.
Non-Intrusive
Argus uses non-intrusive methods. No exploitation. No destructive testing. No unauthorised active probing. Elytra does not conduct offensive testing by conviction, not just policy.
Appliance-Based
Argus is designed around a dedicated appliance model for controlled, continuous, intelligent assessment. It is not a generic periodic cloud scan.
Evidence-Backed
Every material finding is supported by a traceable evidence chain structured for leadership, auditors, regulators, insurers, and remediation owners.
WHO ARGUS IS FOR
Built for organisations that need decision-grade exposure intelligence.
Boards and leadership teams
For leaders who need to understand external exposure, threat actor visibility, systemic weak points, and risk decisions in business language.
Regulated organisations
For organisations facing regulatory, audit, customer assurance, cyber insurance, supply chain, or board-level scrutiny over cyber resilience.
Security and risk teams
For teams that need an outside-in intelligence layer to complement internal telemetry, vulnerability management, cloud posture, endpoint security, and governance programmes.
SELECTIVE DEPLOYMENT
Argus is selectively deployed because the findings can matter at board level.
Argus is not a mass-market scanning product. It is an intelligence-led assessment capability for organisations that are prepared to receive uncomfortable findings, assign ownership, protect evidence, and act on the results.
Before onboarding, Elytra confirms that the assessment has authorised scope, appropriate sponsorship, a responsible internal owner, a defined evidence-handling approach, and a genuine remediation intent.
Good fit
- Leadership wants to understand what sophisticated external observers can infer.
- The organisation can define authorised scope and responsible internal ownership.
- Findings will be reviewed by security, risk, technology, or leadership stakeholders.
- There is willingness to act on validated exposure and control gaps.
- Evidence handling, reporting, and remediation responsibilities can be agreed upfront.
Poor fit
- Organisations looking only for a low-cost scanner or compliance checkbox.
- Teams that cannot confirm authorised assessment scope.
- Leadership that wants findings but not decisions or ownership.
- Environments where evidence handling and remediation accountability are unclear.
- Requests that cross into offensive testing, exploitation, or unauthorised probing.
Argus is designed to be understood before it is deployed. The briefing process exists for that reason.
AVAILABILITY AND PRICING
Pricing starts at US$5,000 per year.
Argus is available only through a selective deployment process. Pricing starts at US$5,000 per year. Final pricing depends on scope, assessment frequency, deployment model, asset coverage, evidence retention requirements, reporting expectations, and the level of executive or board-facing analysis required.
Before onboarding, Elytra conducts a briefing to confirm authorised scope, organisational ownership, intended use of findings, evidence handling expectations, and remediation commitment.
What affects pricing
- Number of entities, domains, assets, brands, and operating units in scope.
- Assessment frequency and reporting cadence.
- Appliance deployment model and operational requirements.
- Evidence retention, executive reporting, and remediation support expectations.
What the briefing confirms
- Authorised assessment scope.
- Executive or senior management sponsorship.
- Responsible internal owner.
- Evidence handling and reporting expectations.
- Remediation commitment and intended use of findings.
Argus is not vulnerability scanning, and it is not a penetration test.
It is a staged intelligence assessment — structured around what an adversary, regulator, or insurer can infer about your organisation before they engage directly.
This starts with a briefing, not a demo.
Argus addresses threats at a strategic level. The right starting point is not a generic demo. It is a briefing on your threat environment, external exposure profile, leadership concerns, and the decisions you need Argus to support.
If there is a fit, Elytra will define a controlled scope, deployment model, reporting structure, evidence-handling approach, and annual engagement model.
