Your attack surface changes every day, so your security picture should not be a year old

Pulse is continuous detection and validation of vulnerabilities across your external and internal network, on a monthly or quarterly cycle. We confirm results offensively, clear them of false positives, and report them in the E-Zero platform, with full remediation tracking over time.

THE PROBLEM

Between one test and the next, nobody is watching

A penetration test is a snapshot from a single day. The next morning a new CVE lands, someone exposes a new service, a firewall rule changes, another server joins the domain. A window opens where your attack surface grows and no one is watching it.

Attackers watch it the whole time. Mass scanners find a freshly exposed service in hours, not weeks. A yearly test does not close that window. A process that looks on the same rhythm your infrastructure changes does. That is what Pulse is for.

THE CTEM CYCLE

Pulse inside continuous threat exposure management

CTEM, the continuous threat exposure management program defined by Gartner, runs in five stages. Pulse operationalizes its core: a repeatable loop of detection, prioritization, and validation, run on a regular cycle instead of once a year.

CTEM stage	What happens	What Pulse does
1. Scoping	Decide what you actually protect: the internet edge, the internal network, the key systems.	Pulse feeds this stage: we define the external and internal scope together with your team.
2. Discovery	Find vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and exposure across the whole surface.	The core of Pulse: a recurring scan that aggregates many sources.
3. Prioritization	Set what to fix first, by real risk and exposure.	The core of Pulse: priority by exploitability and context, not by CVSS alone.
4. Validation	Confirm a finding is real and reachable for an attacker.	The core of Pulse: offensive validation that removes false positives.
5. Mobilization	Fix and close the risk through the IT teams.	Pulse feeds this stage: detailed recommendations and remediation tracking in E-Zero.

This is an honest boundary. Pulse gives you the engine for continuous detection, prioritization, and validation. Scoping decisions and the fix itself stay with your team, and Pulse hands them something concrete instead of a pile of alerts to dig through.

WHAT EACH CYCLE COVERS

One report a single test can never give you

External network

What an attacker sees from the internet: public IP addresses, exposed services, web applications.

Internal network

What an attacker sees once the perimeter falls. A read-only probe covers it.

Remediation progress

Whether vulnerabilities are actually disappearing or only piling up. Every cycle shows the delta since the last one.

New findings

Everything discovered since the previous cycle, so nothing new slips by unchecked.

Exposure trend

Your risk over time, not a point on the calendar. The E-Zero report turns a static PDF into an interactive, prioritized task list.

Rollout is light. The internal probe runs read-only, with no interference with production and no extra hardware on your side. Scope is agreed with your team at the start.

PULSE AND PENTEST

Where Pulse ends and a penetration test begins

This is the line against a penetration test. Pulse detects, prioritizes, and validates vulnerabilities continuously, but it does not break into systems, move laterally, or escalate privileges. If you need full proof of compromise with exploitation and post-exploitation, that is a job for a penetration test.

Pulse and a pentest work as a pair. The pentest goes deep every so often; Pulse watches the surface all year. One shows how far an attacker could get, the other makes sure nothing new is left exposed between engagements.

HOW WE DO IT

A detection engine, not another scanner

Aggregate many sources

Five enterprise-class tools plus our own, correlated against three vulnerability databases in every cycle.

Offensive validation

Pentesters confirm what is actually exploitable and drop the false positives, so you review decisions, not noise.

Priority by exploitability

Findings are ranked by real exploitability and context, not by the CVSS score alone.

Fix recommendations

Each confirmed vulnerability comes with a documented remediation path built in E-Zero, in the order to tackle it.

Remediation tracking

Every cycle shows whether risk is closing, so the process holds up over time and under audit.

COMPLIANCE

The regulator expects a process, not a one-off snapshot

DORA, NIS2, and ISO 27001 shift the requirement from a single test toward continuous vulnerability management. A recurring Pulse report with remediation history is evidence the process works, not that it happened once.

DORA

Requires ongoing ICT risk management and regular detection of weaknesses. A cyclical report with remediation history shows the process is running.

NIS2

Mandates vulnerability management and an up-to-date risk picture. A monthly or quarterly cycle meets that directly.

ISO 27001 (A.8.8)

The technical vulnerability management control expects a continuous process. Pulse delivers the record of that process, ready for audit.

Facing a DORA or NIS2 deadline? Pulse hands the auditor a documented, repeatable process instead of a single report from a year ago.

FAQ

Common questions about Pulse

How is Pulse different from a plain vulnerability scanner?

A scanner returns a raw result full of noise. Pulse adds offensive validation, where a pentester drops the false positives, priority by real exploitability, and remediation history over time. You get decisions, not a thousand alerts.

Does Pulse replace a penetration test?

No. A pentest goes deep every so often, with exploitation and post-exploitation. Pulse watches all year what shows up on the surface between tests. They work best together.

What does rollout look like?

Light. For the internal part we set up a read-only probe, with no extra hardware on your side and no interference with production. We agree the scope together at the start.

Monthly or quarterly?

It depends on how fast your infrastructure changes and on your compliance requirements. Fast-moving environments and hard DORA and NIS2 deadlines usually call for a monthly cycle. We settle it on the call.

Does Pulse help with DORA, NIS2, and ISO 27001?

Yes. These frameworks expect continuous vulnerability management, not a one-off test. A recurring Pulse report with remediation history is evidence of the process, ready for audit.
