What it sells: Axonius

What SaaS Applications does[8]
Axonius SaaS Applications extends asset intelligence to the application layer, discovering every app in use and correlating it to the devices, identities, and exposures it touches. Teams uncover shadow SaaS, close hygiene gaps, prioritize SaaS-driven risk, and reclaim wasted spend from one place. Axonius discovers SaaS through the integrations and identity sources already in a customer's stack, with no agents, no proxies, and no inline inspection.
What AI Workforce does[1][3]
Axonius offers AI Workforce, which puts Virtual Workers on routine security checks. Axonius describes role-based agents that solve security problems end-to-end, on demand or on a recurring schedule, and flag findings, issue fixes, and offload manual work. Axonius says users decide how much each worker does on its own, from off, to human in the loop, to live.

What it sells: D3 Security

What Morpheus does[1][3][4][5][6][9][10]
Morpheus triages, investigates and responds across the full alert lifecycle and defers to a human when it is uncertain. Morpheus runs its agentic reasoning under one engine, inside one deterministic playbook, with hard bounds on iteration, cost, tool scope and approval. Morpheus ships its capabilities as one platform with one engine and one audit trail. Morpheus offers four autonomy modes: Deterministic, AI-Assisted, AI-Led and Autonomous.
What Smart SOAR does[2][7][8]
Smart SOAR ingests, normalizes, de-duplicates and correlates event data from any app, stack or environment. Smart SOAR enriches security events with threat intelligence including indicator, actor, digital risk, fraud, industry and service data. Smart SOAR lets teams configure and test integrations and playbooks from a single screen. Smart SOAR provides customized compliance reporting for GDPR, HIPAA and 23 NYCRR 500.
What Attack Path Discovery does[1][3][5][9]
Attack Path Discovery maps blast radius, validates IOCs and drafts remediation before an analyst opens the case. Attack Path Discovery pivots across identities, endpoints, cloud, email and network, builds a reconstructed timeline and identifies blast radius and root cause. Attack Path Discovery operates inside the tenant.
What Adaptive Tasking does[5]
Adaptive Tasking is grounded in the case's evidence and can dispatch agents to gather more intel from any of the 800+ integrations. Every prompt, response and executed action is recorded in the same audit trail as the rest of the case.
What Verified Verdicts does[3]
Verified Verdicts keeps the reasoning for each grade readable and correctable. When Morpheus cannot confirm a finding, Morpheus grades it Gap and hands the alert to an analyst.

About Axonius

Axonius sells asset intelligence that security and IT teams use to discover what is unknown, fix what is exposed, and prove cyber resilience. Axonius says every asset is correlated and deduplicated into one verified record, with AI assets inventoried alongside everything else.[2][3][4]

Axonius says security teams are not struggling with a lack of data but cannot trust the data they have. Axonius connects to 1,400+ data sources, from endpoint agents and cloud providers to SaaS apps and identity and access management solutions, and correlates everything into a single, reconciled asset record. Axonius says it continuously reconciles data across sources so the inventory stays accurate as the environment changes. Axonius says its asset data is configured entirely through API-based adapters, with no agents and no scanners required. Axonius says API adapters pull from security, IT, identity, cloud, and SaaS tools, and network collectors bring in IoT and OT and shadow IT devices.[5][6][7]

Axonius offers a system of record for all digital infrastructure, aimed at keeping every asset across every system continuously known, including AI tools. Axonius Software Assets automatically inventories software across all devices, managed or unmanaged. Axonius SaaS Applications extends asset intelligence to the application layer, discovering every app in use and correlating it to the devices, identities, and exposures it touches. Axonius discovers SaaS through the integrations and identity sources already in a customer's stack, with no agents, no proxies, and no inline inspection. Axonius says identity risk spans service accounts, API keys, and AI agents, and that Axonius unifies every identity. Axonius Cyber-Physical Assets extends the Axonius Platform to deliver passive OT and IoT asset discovery, continuous asset inventory, contextual risk intelligence, and exposure management across cyber-physical environments.[3][7][8]

Axonius AI turns a plain-language question into an answer grounded in the live environment and, with approval, acts on it. The Axonius AI Companion is described as a security partner that understands the environment, assets, and business context, and users ask in plain language about their attack surface. Axonius offers AI Workforce, which puts Virtual Workers on routine security checks. Axonius describes role-based agents that solve security problems end-to-end, on demand or on a recurring schedule, and flag findings, issue fixes, and offload manual work. Axonius says Virtual Workers review the environment on a schedule, flag what needs attention, and explain why. Axonius offers an MCP Server that brings asset data to Claude, an IDE, or custom agents. Axonius says it discovers AI assets in an environment, from ungoverned SaaS to non-human identities and rogue software usage, and covers devices, SaaS, cloud, and development pipelines.[1][3][9][10][11]

For exposure management, Axonius says it correlates findings with asset ownership, business criticality, coverage status, network exposure, and attack paths. Axonius says its 1,400+ integrations span 40+ asset types. Axonius says AI recommends the fix, opens a ready-to-work ticket, and can track it to closure. Axonius says its Action Center offers over 600 actions across adapters, such as sending a notification, opening a ticket in an ITSM, or isolating a device. Axonius says it gives cyber incident response teams the asset intelligence needed to identify what is affected, who owns it, and how to fix it. Axonius says its bi-directional adapters push notifications to downstream systems, such as creating ServiceNow or Jira tickets, isolating devices, or updating CMDBs. Axonius says it closes endpoint compliance gaps by surfacing devices missing EDR, vulnerability scanning, and SSO controls. Axonius says it turns a CMDB from a static inventory into a source of truth continuously reconciled with what is in the environment.[5][10][12][13]

Axonius says it helps Security validate and document operational control coverage, while GRC remains responsible for control ownership, framework interpretation, exceptions, and audit decisions.[6]

Axonius Federal Systems helps U.S federal agencies comply with cybersecurity regulations by uncovering every asset. Axonius says its healthcare offering is purpose-built for hospitals, and it unifies security and operations across medical, IoT, OT, and IT assets. Axonius says it discovers and classifies every medical device with over 150 attributes per asset. Axonius for Healthcare integrates with NAC, firewalls, ticketing systems, and CMMS tools. Axonius cites Brooks Running as a customer that gains real-time asset visibility to secure global growth. Bedfordshire Hospitals, an Axonius customer, says it expects greatly reduced risk from its medical devices once risk reduction activities have been applied.[1][3][7][8][10][12][14]
