Autonomous pentest vs vulnerability scanner
Verdict
Rheono wins when you need proof of exploit (reproducible PoCs and a signed evidence report), not another alert flood.
Side-by-side
| Dimension | Rheono (autonomous pentest) | Vulnerability scanner |
|---|---|---|
| Output | Validated findings with working PoCs | Alerts, CVE lists, often high false-positive volume |
| Positioning | Penetration test on web/API | Asset inventory + known-vuln matching / DAST scan |
| Compliance evidence | Signed report with NIS2 / ISO mapping per finding | Scan export / dashboard, rarely auditor-ready alone |
| Pricing feel | Flat on every tier; on Growth and above, more pentests do not raise the bill | Often per asset, scan credit, or enterprise seat |
Who Rheono is for
Teams that already tried scanners and still need findings proven before engineering queues them, plus signed evidence for customers or NIS2 conversations.
FAQ
- Is Rheono a scanner?
- No. Rheono is continuous autonomous penetration testing: agents try the exploit inside written scope, a validator tries to break it, only findings with a working PoC are reported, and Rheono signs the report.
- Will I still get noise?
- Every finding passes a validation gate before it is reported. You get proof, not an unfiltered alert stream.
