Brontes works over the assets registered in Myrmex — the devices running
the Myrmex software agent that you’ve onboarded and authorized. It is not a
discovery tool that scans your whole network for unknown machines.
What Brontes Tracks
For each registered device, Brontes maintains the same picture you see in a device’s System Info:Health & status
Whether a device is online or offline, its agent version, and when it last
reported in.
System information
Operating system and version, CPU and memory, the device’s Myrmex ID, and its
public IP.
Installed software
The applications and software inventory reported from the host.
Configuration
How the device is set up and labeled — its role, folders, tags, and severity.
Brontes vs. Perseus
Brontes and Perseus both work with endpoints, but they do different jobs:- Brontes manages — it knows what your registered assets are, how they’re doing, and how they’re configured. Think visibility and organization.
- Perseus acts — it investigates a host in depth and runs response actions on it (isolate, quarantine, kill a process, remediate, harden).
Brontes is an AI agent. The software agent is the program installed on
each host that reports the telemetry Brontes reads. The two share the word
“agent” but are distinct — Brontes interprets what the software agent collects.
