Business tier and up

Drive your whole fleet from one console

Command and Control is authorized remote command dispatch for the scanner agents you run. Queue a scan, pull a session, change alert thresholds, or roll an update on any agent you choose, all from the portal, starting on the Business tier. Manage your whole fleet at once, with agent groups and bulk dispatch, on the MSP tier. It manages your own fleet, not anyone else's systems.

Agents dial out. Nothing dials in.

Every scanner agent opens no inbound port. It connects outbound over HTTPS, and any queued commands ride back on the heartbeat response. Your firewall never has to allow a connection toward the agent.

How a command reaches an agent An operator queues a command in the console. The agent sends an outbound heartbeat and the command rides back on the response. The agent runs it under guardrails and posts the result, which appears in the console history. Console portal /admin queue a command Scanner agent no inbound port outbound HTTPS only 1. heartbeat out (POST /api/health) 2. command rides the response 3. run under guardrails 4. post result + session link 5. result lands in History exit code, output, status

Commands queue with a priority and are delivered on the next heartbeat, up to twenty per cycle. Because the agent starts every connection, you can drop one behind the strictest outbound-only firewall and still command it.

What you can dispatch

Eight command types, each targeted at a single agent or a whole group. Command dispatch is included from the Business tier; targeting a whole group at once needs the MSP tier. Everything below ships today.

Full command reference

See every agent at a glance

The Fleet tab shows a live card for each agent: a status dot that flips to stale after ten minutes without a heartbeat, the version it is running, its uptime, its groups, and how many commands are pending. Open one to read its System Info, a ninety-day audit Timeline, and its command history.

  • Live status at a ten-minute heartbeat threshold, refreshed every thirty seconds.
  • Group agents by site or client and dispatch one command to all of them.
  • Each agent keeps a stable identity across reboots and DHCP changes.

Built-in guardrails

Remote command execution is only as good as its limits. These are on by default and cannot be dispatched away.

300-second timeout

Any command running longer than five minutes is stopped and reported as failed, so a stuck job never hangs an agent.

Bounded, clean output

Captured output is truncated to 10 KB and terminal color codes are stripped at the source, so history stays readable.

Narrow config allowlist

Remote configuration is limited to eight daemon and alert settings. Scan targets, schedules, storage, and modules are never remotely editable.

Revoke and self-shutdown

Deregister an agent and its next heartbeat is refused; the daemon logs it and shuts itself down. Re-enable it later without losing its history.

Per-agent audit timeline

Every command, config change, and lifecycle event is recorded on a ninety-day timeline you can open per agent.

Authorized fleet only

The console manages the agents you deploy and register. It is not remote access to third-party systems, and it never scans a target you did not schedule.

Command dispatch starts on Business. Fleet-wide control ships with MSP.

The Business tier and up gets remote command dispatch to any one agent you choose. The MSP tier adds unlimited agents and sessions, agent groups, the audit log, and database health, alongside everything in Business. Pair it with the field appliance for drop-and-forget scanning you drive from the console.
