CyfroSec

Getting Started

Platform Overview

CyfroSec continuously discovers assets, analyzes vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, secrets and provides AI-driven remediation guidance across your infrastructure.

Core Capabilities

1. Agents

Agents act as your infrastructure's "eyes and ears".

  1. 1Lightweight: Minimal resource usage.
  2. 2Secure: Outbound-only connections.

2. Scans

They are automated security checks performed by Agents.

  1. 1Network Discovery: Identifies open ports and services in your server, network, or infrastructure to drive vulnerability detection and analysis.
  2. 2Service Fingerprinting: Assesses security posture by signature matching of CVEs in installed packages and services, detecting common misconfigurations and scanning for exposed secrets.
  3. 3Asset Discovery: Does ARP sweeps, local process enumeration and MAC vendor lookup.

Dashboard Metric Semantics

MetricMeaning
Completed ScansTests currently in completed state (not a historical event count).
Active TestsTests currently running or pending.
Failed TestsTests currently in failed state.
Scan ProgressBased on terminal states: (completed + failed) / total tests.

3. CyfroAssistant

Your personal security analyst, available 24/7.

  1. 1Natural Language Queries: Ask queries like "Summarise the findings from yesterday's scan." or "List active agents" effectively querying your entire fleet in seconds.
  2. 2Accessibility: Helps to explain, understand, analyze and take action on your data, designed for not just Cybersecurity experts but also for non-Cybersecurity teams and Executives.

Step 1: Sign Up and Create Organization

SaaS (Cloud-Hosted)

  1. 1Go to the CyfroSec Portal - https://www.app.cyfrosec.com sign-up page.
  2. 2Enter your email and password.
  3. 3Fill in your Organization Details (Company Name, etc.) when prompted.
  4. 4Complete the email verification process.
Important: The first user in a new organization/account group must be an admin (Organization admin or Account group admin). Other users can use non-admin roles.

Step 2: Create an Account Group

Agents are organized into Account Groups (e.g., "DevOps", "AI Datacenter", "Production", "Staging"). You must have at least one group to register an agent.

  1. 1Go to Settings > Account Groups.
  2. 2Click Create Group.
  3. 3Name it logically (e.g., "Web App Production Server").

Step 3: Register an Agent

We use a secure One-Time Token to link your server to the cloud.

  1. 1Navigate to CyfroAgent in the sidebar.
  2. 2Ensure you are assigned an Account Group.
  3. 3Click Generate Registration Token. You'll need this token in the next step.
  4. 4Copy the token string immediately (it is only shown once).

Step 4: Install the Agent

Please follow the steps in CyfroAgent and Setup section.

Step 5: Verify

  1. 1Wait about 30 seconds for the Agent to initialize.
  2. 2Refresh the Agents page in the Portal.
  3. 3You should see your new Agent listed as Online.

Provisioning Consistency Note

When organizations, account groups, or users are created from the main admin backend, provisioning behavior is aligned:

  1. 1Account group creation bootstraps a default Network Discovery scan.
  2. 2User creation triggers onboarding notification flows.
  3. 3Plan quotas are enforced consistently.
