01
Product story
Licence audits, software waste and unapproved applications are invisible cost lines in most organizations. Argus grounds inventory in real data collected from individual machines: which version, which hash, how many seats are actually used? Shadow IT policy, CVE risk mapping and remote deployment are layered on the same inventory. The result: software cost and attack surface managed in one console.
02
Capabilities
Software inventory
Installed and running applications collected with version, hash, publisher and install date.
Licence & finance
Seat usage, contract renewal dates and savings potential from unused licences.
Shadow IT control
Black / whitelist policies detect unapproved applications with warn, block or remove actions.
CVE risk mapping
Known vulnerabilities are mapped to device and software inventory, listing the machines actually affected.
Remote deployment
MSI packages deploy remotely to selected device groups with results and failures reported by the agent.
Family backbone
The Argus agent is the shared telemetry and command channel for Identity, DREMP, SAM and Browser.
Savings analytics
Unused seats, duplicate licences and multi-version costs are reported, supporting decisions before renewal.
Identity alignment
User–device–software relationships align with Argus Identity and AD / Entra data.
03
What it solves and what it returns
Problems today
- Licence audits unable to answer “how many seats are actually used?”
- Unnecessary licence spend every year for unused software
- Shadow IT and security gaps growing through unapproved apps
- CVE lists without knowledge of which device is affected
- Software updates dependent on separate packaging tools
- Inventory disconnected from finance data
Outcome with the product
- Measurable savings in software licence cost
- Shadow IT visibility with enforceable policy
- CVE risk mapped onto real device inventory
- Centralized patching and update processes
- Argus family products managed through one agent

Architecture and technology
Architectural approach
Argus consists of endpoint agent telemetry, a .NET backend API and the Software Asset Management area inside the Dashboard. The agent collects installed applications, version and hash data, running processes and hardware inventory. The backend merges this with licence, contract and cost models; the CVE mapping and Shadow IT policy engine run on the same inventory. Package deployment and plugins execute in isolated controller areas.

Frequently asked questions
Does it work with SeeNose?
Yes. Both products can share the same agent backbone; SeeNose governs operations and performance while Argus governs software and licences.
Which platforms are supported?
Full support for Windows-heavy fleets; Linux and macOS inventory is collected on the same schema.
Where does licence data come from?
Contract and seat data are defined in the admin console; usage data comes straight from agent telemetry.
How long does deployment take?
A typical pilot environment is ready in 1–2 days; enterprise rollout is planned with phased agent deployment.
