How Hive Pro Brings Comprehensive Security to  CrowdStrike and SentinelOne

How HivePro Vulnerability Exposure Management (VEM) extends and amplifies the value of your existing endpoint security/EDR investments - turning detection strength into enterprise-wide vulnerability and exposure intelligence.

The Challenge

Your EDR is world-class. Your exposure visibility isn't.

CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, and Microsoft Defender represent the gold standard in endpoint detection and response (EDR). They are exceptional at what they were built to do - detect and respond to threats. Vulnerability and exposure management, however, is a fundamentally different discipline that these platforms were not architected to solve, thus creating a security gap, and potential opening for malicious attacks.

Most organizations are replacing Tenable, Qualys and Rapid7 by leveraging the existing EDR agent to enable continuous vulnerability assessment of endpoint devices. However, complete reliance on your EDR solution for vulnerability assessment will leave blind spots, which will increase the cyber risk for an organization.

Blind spots can come from :

• network devices and legacy systems with no agent coverage,
• no unified risk score across their digital footprint,
• no way to validate whether security controls are actually effective,
• vulnerability data siloed in dashboards that don't talk to each other, and
• Low CVE coverage because of which certain vulnerabilities will be unidentified.

The result is a false sense of coverage. Security teams know what's happening on endpoints - but they don't have a complete, prioritized picture of organizational exposure. That gap is exactly where attackers operate.

The Solution

Unify EDR with Hive Pro to save cost and increase security

Hive Pro Vulnerability Exposure Management (VEM) is designed to work alongside your EDR - to complete your Vulnerability Management program and coverage.

Key Steps:

1. Ingest agent telemetry from CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, and Microsoft Defender
2. Layering network scanning data, coverage for legacy OS as well as network devices
3. Correlate with threat intelligence and create a risk score and adversarial validation
4. Deliver the complete exposure picture your EDR alone cannot provide.

Hive Pro Benefits

Complete Asset Coverage

Network scanners cover firewalls, routers, switches, and any system where an agent cannot be installed - the gaps EDR leaves behind.

Unified Risk Intelligence

One risk score across all data sources - EDR telemetry, VM scan results, threat intelligence feeds - instead of four separate dashboards.

Adversarial Validation

Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) and Adversarial Exposure Validation (AEV) confirm which vulnerabilities are actually exploitable in your environment.

Faster Vulnerability Coverage

Hive Pro adds coverage for new Patch Tuesday vulnerabilities within ~6 hours. Leading EDR platforms typically take 24 hours - a window attackers actively exploit.

Quantitative Risk Scoring

Replace Critical/High/Med/Low labels with numeric risk scores (0–100) per vulnerability and environment - the precision your CISO and board need.

Vendor Consolidation

Replace traditional VM scanner agents on endpoints with your existing EDR agent. Reduce sprawl, licensing costs, and performance overhead.

Partner Story

CrowdStrike + Hive Pro Vulnerability Exposure Management (VEM)

CrowdStrike Falcon is the most trusted EDR platform in the market - with board-level credibility earned through years of high-profile incident response. However, CrowdStrike Falcon Spotlight does leave a few gaps which Hive Pro can fulfil.

● Falcon Spotlight (easy to turn on for VM on Endpoints)

Falcon Spotlight Gaps in CoverageHive Pro Fills the GapNo coverage for systems without Falcon agent (network devices, legacy)Network scanning (HVS) covers all network devices, un-agented endpoints, legacy systemsNo network scanning - firewalls, routers, switches, IP phones all invisibleIngest Spotlight data alongside Tenable, Qualys, Rapid7, Microsoft, S1 for a unified risk viewNo third-party data ingestion from other VM tools and low CVE coverage of approx 87K326K+ CVE coverage - 3.7× more than Spotlight alone, plus ingests data from 3rd party sources including Tenable, Rapid7, Qualys, SentinelOne, Microsoft and many more.No configuration assessment against CIS BenchmarksConfiguration Assessment against CIS Benchmarks across all assetsNo BAS / AEV or security control validationBAS / AEV validates which threats are actually exploitable in your environmentNo quantitative risk score - severity labels onlyQuantitative risk score (0–100) per vulnerability and environment for board-ready reportingCannot be purchased standalone - requires Falcon EDR licenseCAASM - complete asset inventory across all sources

● Falcon Exposure Management

CrowdStrike + Hive Pro — The Business Case

Organizations using CrowdStrike EDR can leverage their existing Falcon agent to replace traditional VM scanner agents on endpoints - reducing agent sprawl and licensing costs - while Hive Pro covers everything Spotlight cannot: network devices, un-agented systems, configuration assessment, BAS, and unified risk scoring. The result is a more complete security program at lower total cost of ownership.

Partner Story

SentinelOne + Hive Pro Vulnerability Exposure Management - Complete Vulnerability Management

SentinelOne Singularity is a powerful AI-driven EDR. Its vulnerability management module (Singularity VM) provides agent-based coverage - but has no network scanning capability at any tier, making Hive Pro a natural and compelling complement.

Deployment Approach

A phased, low-risk path to full exposure management

Hive Pro is designed for zero-disruption deployment alongside your existing security stack. Think of it like adding a control tower to an airport that already has excellent planes - nothing on the runway changes, but visibility and decision-making improve immediately.

Phase 1 — Immediate Value (Weeks, Not Months)

• Deploy Hive Pro as a data aggregation and risk intelligence layer - no new agents, no scanning changes, zero disruption
• Ingest CrowdStrike / S1 / Defender telemetry into Hive Pro
• Ingest existing Tenable / Qualys / Rapid7 scan data if present
• Receive unified risk score across all sources immediately
• Activate BAS and AEV to validate control effectiveness
• Enable CAASM for complete asset inventory visibility
• Begin board-ready risk reporting from day one

Phase 2 — Full Coverage Expansion

• Once value is demonstrated, introduce Hive Pro network scanning (HVS) to cover gaps your EDR cannot reach - on your timeline
• Deploy Hive Pro HVS scanners for network devices and un-agented systems
• Replace legacy VM scanner agents on endpoints with existing EDR agent
• Achieve full VM to VEM (Vulnerability & Exposure Management) transformation
• Consolidate agents and reduce licensing overhead across the estate
• Single Hive Pro platform covers endpoints, network, cloud, and applications
• Retire siloed VM tools - one platform, complete coverage

Independent Analyst Perspective

Gartner analysts have noted that Hive Pro is uniquely positioned in the market as a platform capable of replacing traditional vulnerability management vendors (Tenable, Qualys, Rapid7) while complementing - not competing with - the leading EDR platforms. No other CTEM vendor currently occupies this position with the same breadth of capability.
