System Architecture

Compare the open-source Agent Beacon architecture with the managed Asymptote platform architecture

Asymptote supports two architecture paths: the open-source Agent Beacon architecture for supported local, CI, and cloud telemetry paths, and the Asymptote Managed architecture for centralized visibility, governance, detections, and investigations.

Open Source Architecture

See how Agent Beacon collects, normalizes, stores, and forwards agent harness telemetry across supported runtime surfaces.

Managed Architecture

See how Asymptote Managed centralizes telemetry, policy, detections, and investigation workflows.
