Clone Systems CloneGuard

CloneGuard is Clone Systems’ security platform for Vulnerability Management, compliance scanning, and optional managed threat detection. IT and security teams use its web portal to assess assets, prioritize findings, track remediation, and export reports. Scanning modules are self-managed, while separately purchased managed-security services provide analyst monitoring and response.

Key Capabilities

• Network and endpoint assessment: External scanners assess internet-facing systems, while internal scanning uses a physical or virtual server within the network. Credentialed scans examine patch-level exposure. Optional endpoint agents collect software inventory, patch status, and configuration findings, including from devices outside the corporate network.
• PCI scanning workflows: The PCI module supports immediate or scheduled external scans, rescans, exception submissions, scan history, and a self-assessment questionnaire. Passing quarterly scans produce an Attestation of Scan Compliance.
• Authenticated application testing: The web-scanning module explores applications behind login screens and tests multiple user roles. It supports JavaScript applications and REST or GraphQL APIs, with API definitions imported from formats such as OpenAPI and Postman.
• Remediation guidance: An optional AI assistant explains findings, groups related issues across assets, ranks remediation priorities, and drafts fix plans and reporting narratives. Teams remain responsible for implementing changes.
• Managed detection and response: Optional services correlate logs from network, cloud, identity, and endpoint sources. Security analysts investigate alerts, tune detections, and use endpoint-response capabilities to contain confirmed threats.

Audience & Use Cases
