As breaches take an average of 258 days to identify and contain (IBM 2024 Cost of a Data Breach Report), HailBytes ASM is now available on AWS Marketplace and Azure Marketplace – giving security teams continuous, AI-powered reconnaissance inside their own cloud account, with hourly pricing, full data sovereignty, and a 30-day free trial.
(PRUnderground) May 8th, 2026
The 2024 IBM Cost of a Data Breach Report found that organizations now take an average of 258 days to identify and contain a breach, and the global average cost has reached $4.88 million. The single biggest variable in those numbers is how quickly a defender finds an exposed asset before an attacker does.
HailBytes, LLC, a Delaware-registered cloud security company headquartered in Denver, Colorado, today announced the general availability of HailBytes Attack Surface Management Platform (HailBytes ASM) on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Marketplace and the Microsoft Azure Marketplace. The platform is engineered for security teams that need to discover unknown internet-facing assets, triage vulnerabilities with AI, and prove their work to auditors – without shipping any of that data to a third-party SaaS vendor. New customers can deploy HailBytes ASM in their own cloud account with a 30-day free trial, hourly pricing, and no per-asset or per-seat fees.
Unlike SaaS attack-surface-management products that store reconnaissance data on vendor infrastructure, HailBytes ASM runs entirely inside the customer’s own AWS or Azure account. Scan history, discovered assets, and vulnerability findings remain inside the customer’s VPC, governed by their own IAM policies, retention rules, and data-residency requirements. The platform is distributed under the Elastic License 2.0 (ELv2), giving customers full source availability so they can inspect, modify, and self-host the platform on infrastructure they control.
Key capabilities of HailBytes ASM include:
– Continuous, scheduled discovery across subdomains, exposed services, and web applications, with change detection between scans so security teams see new assets the moment they appear.
– An integrated reconnaissance pipeline built on industry-standard open-source tools including subfinder, nuclei, httpx, and naabu, with hardened scheduling, clearer scan diagnostics, and AI-powered triage of findings.
– AI-powered vulnerability analysis via OpenAI API or self-hosted Ollama, with GPU instance support for organizations that require local LLM inference and full data sovereignty.
– An updated dashboard with asset inventory, vulnerability trending, and exportable reports formatted for SOC 2, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS compliance workflows.
– Direct integration with Jira, Slack, and SIEM platforms so newly discovered findings flow into the tools security teams already use.
– Modernized container infrastructure with updated LTS base images, automated health checks, and faster scan-engine initialization.
“Pen testers spend the first three days of every engagement re-running recon they ran six weeks ago for the same client,” said David McHale, Founder of HailBytes. “That’s not a tooling problem, it’s a continuity problem – and it’s why we built ASM as a between-engagement layer instead of another scanner. The open-source community already solved scanning. What was missing was the hosted infrastructure, the alerting, and the audit-ready reports a client procurement team will actually accept. The 30-day free trial on AWS and Azure lets a team prove that on a single client domain in 10 minutes.”
By the numbers:
– 3,000+ HailBytes deployments worldwide
– 258 days: average time to identify and contain a breach in 2024 (IBM)
– $4.88M: average global cost of a data breach in 2024 (IBM)
– $0.24/vCPU/hour: HailBytes ASM starting price – no per-asset, per-target, or per-seat fees
– 30 days: free trial length on both AWS Marketplace and Azure Marketplace

Pricing starts at $0.24 per vCPU per hour. Customers pay only for the cloud infrastructure they use; there are no per-asset, per-target, or per-seat license fees. Community support is included; priority support and managed-service options are available through the HailBytes Cloud Support Hub.
