ARGUS

THE PROBLEM

Every estate runs software that no inventory admits exists — internal apps, custom builds, tools deployed outside the standard pipeline. They leave traces in web routes and file paths, but package inventories and CPE fingerprints walk right past them. Unnamed software is unowned software, and unowned software never gets patched, reviewed, or retired.

WHAT IT DOES

Argus surfaces software hiding in routes and paths — the evidence normal inventory misses — and lets you name it in plain English. A conversational workflow turns an anonymous route into a tagged, owned custom app: tell Argus what it is, and the estate finally has a name and a tag for it.

KEY CAPABILITIES

• Route- and path-based discovery — finds software by where it lives and how it's served. Web routes and file paths carry evidence that package lists and CPE fingerprints structurally miss.
• Gap detection against the main inventory — compares what routes and paths reveal against the software and CPE inventories, surfacing exactly what standard discovery walked past.
• Conversational tagging — describe the mystery app in plain English — “that's our internal billing portal” — and Argus proposes the tag. Human knowledge becomes machine-readable inventory in one exchange.
• Gated writes — every custom-app tag is proposed, human-approved, and logged.

HOW IT WORKS

Argus runs against the local navi.db built from your Tenable data — the routes and paths evidence in your findings — and compares what it sees against the standard software inventories. All writes are proposed, human-approved, and logged.

WHY IT'S DIFFERENT

• Looks where inventories don't — routes and paths carry evidence that package lists and CPE fingerprints structurally miss.
• Human knowledge becomes machine inventory — the app only your ops lead can identify gets named once, tagged forever.
• Fills the pack's blind spot — custom apps flow into the same product map, criticality, and correlation the rest of the hounds use.

PROOF POINTS

• In a reference environment of 268 assets, Argus hunts the gaps left after Mimir reconciled ~28,700 software rows and ~43,700 CPE rows — the custom and internal apps that appear only as routes and paths.

Illustrative demo-lab context — not a guarantee. Route and path evidence depends on scan coverage; blind or uncredentialed hosts are called out, not hidden.

WORKS BETTER WITH

Argus fills gaps for Mimir — custom apps join the unified product map — and for Pythia, catching AI tooling that ships without a recognizable package or CPE.

WHO IT'S FOR

App owners who know what that mystery route is; vulnerability management teams closing the unnamed-software gap in their inventory.

CALL TO ACTION

Show Argus your unnamed routes — a hundred eyes, and now a name for everything.
