In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, security is no longer optional, it is essential. Organizations manage multiple applications, domains, APIs, and infrastructure components, all of which can introduce vulnerabilities if left unchecked. This is where CHOWKIDAR comes in.
What Is CHOWKIDAR?
CHOWKIDAR is an advanced vulnerability scanning platform designed to automate security assessments and assist security researchers in identifying potential risks efficiently. It enables teams to run structured security scans across multiple assets within a defined scope, helping uncover weaknesses before they can be exploited.
At its core, CHOWKIDAR is built to:
- Automate vulnerability scanning
- Cover multiple asset types within a single platform
- Use a large and continuously evolving rule database
- Provide actionable insights through a centralized dashboard
- Generate tailored reports for different stakeholders
CHOWKIDAR acts as a digital watchdog — continuously monitoring and scanning assets to ensure security gaps are detected early.
How CHOWKIDAR Works
CHOWKIDAR scans defined assets against a comprehensive database of security rules. These rules are designed to detect common vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and security weaknesses across various environments.
Once a scan is initiated, the platform:
- Identifies assets within the scope
- Runs automated checks using its rule engine
- Detects potential vulnerabilities
- Categorizes findings by severity
- Displays results in an intuitive dashboard
This process reduces manual effort while maintaining consistency and coverage.
What Makes CHOWKIDAR Different?
Many vulnerability scanners exist — but CHOWKIDAR is built with simplicity, accessibility, accuracy, and efficiency at its core.
-
Multi-Asset Coverage in One Place
- Instead of managing different tools for different asset types, CHOWKIDAR provides a unified platform to scan and monitor everything within scope.
-
Extensive Rule Database
- Its large and structured rule base ensures thorough testing across a wide range of vulnerability categories. This enables deeper visibility into potential security gaps.
-
Researcher-Friendly Automation
- CHOWKIDAR is designed to assist security researchers, not replace them. By automating repetitive checks, it allows researchers to focus on deeper analysis and advanced testing.
-
Centralized Dashboard
- All scans, vulnerabilities, and reports are accessible through a clean, easy-to-use dashboard. This central management eliminates fragmentation and improves workflow efficiency.
-
Flexible Reporting
- Different teams need different insights. CHOWKIDAR allows generation of various report types, whether for security teams, developers, or leadership. This ensures findings are communicated clearly and effectively.
-
Easy to Use
- One of CHOWKIDAR’s core motivations is to make security accessible. The platform does not require deep technical expertise to operate. It simplifies scanning processes so that even teams without highly specialized knowledge can run effective security assessments.
The Vision: Making Security Simple
Security tools are often complex, fragmented, and difficult to manage. CHOWKIDAR was built with a different philosophy: make security easy, centralized, and efficient.
By combining automation, rule-driven scanning, and intuitive reporting into a single platform, CHOWKIDAR reduces the operational burden of vulnerability management. It empowers teams to:
- Detect vulnerabilities early
- Manage findings from one place
- Improve collaboration between security and development
- Strengthen overall security posture
In a world where threats are constant, CHOWKIDAR ensures that security remains proactive, not reactive.
