Getting started

Create your account

Pick a plan on the pricing page — no credit card is required to browse. Checkout runs through Lemon Squeezy (our Merchant of Record) and lands you in the Vertix dashboard, where you create your organization.

• Choose Starter, Growth or Pro on /pricing and complete guest checkout
• Create your organization and invite team members
• Your plan entitlements (agents, public assets, retention) apply immediately

Deploy your first agent

The agent is a Docker bundle that runs on a Linux host inside your network. It connects outbound only — no inbound firewall rules, no VPN, no exposed management ports.

• In the dashboard, create an agent and give it a name — you receive a single-use enrollment token and a download bundle
• The bundle contains docker-compose.yml, agent.yaml, deploy.sh and a README
• Copy it to a Linux host with Docker Engine + the Compose plugin, then run the deploy script

unzip vertix-agent-<agent-id>.zip && cd vertix-agent-<agent-id>
./deploy.sh

The deploy script redeems the enrollment token, writes the agent credentials, and starts the containers. The agent dials out over TLS 1.3 and shows Online in the dashboard.

Requirements

• Linux host with plain Docker Engine + the Compose plugin (the tested install target)
• Host-level (root) access — the agent container runs network_mode: host for real network discovery
• 2 GB RAM and 10 GB disk
• Outbound TCP 443 only
• Native macOS and Windows host support is on the roadmap

Run your first scan

From the agent card, trigger a Simple-mode Network or Internal scan. Vertix Radar discovers live hosts and services first, then routes targeted scanners (Nuclei, testssl.sh, ssh-audit — plus OpenVAS, Trivy and ZAP on Growth+) to matching endpoints. Findings stream into the dashboard with EPSS and CISA KEV enrichment.

To scan public-facing assets, add them under External assets and complete ownership verification first — see the External assets doc.
