Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about FortWatch.ai — from how scanning works to pricing, integrations, and getting started.
Add your domains or IP addresses as assets, and FortWatch runs 11 specialized scanners against them — including Nuclei CVE detection, Nmap port scanning, SSL/TLS analysis, DNS security checks, HTTP header audits, sensitive file detection, subdomain takeover checks, cloud bucket exposure scanning, and more. Results are analyzed by AI to prioritize real threats and generate actionable remediation steps.
FortWatch detects known CVEs, open ports and exposed services, SSL/TLS misconfigurations, missing or weak HTTP security headers, DNS security issues, sensitive files and directories, subdomain takeover risks, and exposed cloud storage buckets across AWS S3, Azure Blob, and GCP. Our scanner coverage aligns with the OWASP Attack Surface Management Top 10.
You control scan frequency. Run scans on-demand anytime, or configure automated scheduled scans — daily, weekly, or on a custom interval. FortWatch continuously monitors your assets so new vulnerabilities are caught as they appear, not weeks later.
Most scans complete within minutes. All 11 scanners run in parallel, so you get comprehensive results fast. Larger assets with many subdomains or services may take slightly longer. You can monitor scan progress in real time from your dashboard.
No. FortWatch scans are non-intrusive and designed to have zero impact on your production systems. We use the same techniques that attackers would use to discover vulnerabilities, but without any exploitation or load that could affect performance.
An asset is a domain or IP address you want FortWatch to scan. Each asset gets the full suite of 11 scanners, AI analysis, automated issue tracking, and continuous monitoring. You can add as many assets as your plan supports.
Every FortWatch plan includes 5 infrastructure assets and 1 web application. Essential is $124/month ($99/month billed annually), Pro is $249/month ($199/month billed annually), and Business is $412/month ($329/month billed annually). All plans include all 11 scanners, AI analysis, and automated issue tracking. Add extra infra assets from $4/month and extra web apps from $49/month. No hidden fees, no per-scan charges.
Yes. Every plan includes a 14-day free trial with full access to all scanners and features. No credit card required — sign up with your email and start scanning in under 5 minutes.

When your 14-day trial ends, you choose a plan to continue. Your scan history, findings, and issue tracking data are preserved. If you choose not to subscribe, your account is paused — nothing is deleted, and you can reactivate anytime.
FortWatch AI analyzes every finding against your specific infrastructure context, real-world exploitability, and potential business impact. It filters noise, reduces false positives, ranks issues by actual risk, and generates step-by-step remediation instructions tailored to your stack. You fix what matters first.
FortWatch integrates with Slack for real-time alerts, Jira and GitHub for issue tracking, PagerDuty for incident management, and AWS for cloud infrastructure scanning. More integrations are added regularly based on customer needs.
No. FortWatch is designed so anyone can run enterprise-grade security scans. Add an asset, and the platform handles everything — scanning, analysis, prioritization, and plain-language remediation guidance. No security certifications or command-line knowledge required.
When FortWatch finds a vulnerability, it automatically creates a tracked issue with severity rating, detailed description, and remediation steps. Issues are monitored across scans — when you fix something, FortWatch verifies the fix and closes the issue automatically.
Yes. Invite team members to collaborate on your security posture. Team members can view scan results, manage issues, and receive alerts. The number of seats depends on your plan tier.
Yes. Every finding includes AI-generated remediation instructions specific to the vulnerability and your infrastructure. These are plain-language, step-by-step guides that your team can act on immediately — no need to research fixes yourself.
