DIFFERENCIATORS
Where Hackuity stands apart.
01
Built for your whole security stack
Connect findings from 130+ security tools, including Qualys, Tenable, Rapid7 and CrowdStrike. Hackuity normalizes everything into one place, without favoring one scanner or ecosystem.
02
Know exactly why something is critical
Every True Risk Score is explainable. See the threat signals, asset context and business weight behind it. Your team can understand, defend and tune every priority.
03
Turn priorities into remediation
Finding vulnerabilities isn't the hard part. Fixing them is. Hackuity routes vulnerabilities to the right owners, syncs with ITSM tools, tracks SLAs and proves remediation.
04
Your data. Your deployment.
Choose EU SaaS, hybrid or fully on-premise. Keep vulnerability data where you need it, with deployment options built for European security and regulatory requirements.
05
Deep integrations, not just connectors
Hackuity doesn't just ingest findings. It connects vulnerability data with assets, threat intelligence and remediation workflows, so teams can act from one place.
130+ INTEGRATIONS
Keep your scanners. Add the operating layer.
Hackuity is designed to work with your existing scanners, cloud tools, asset inventories, threat intelligence feeds, and ITSM workflows. Instead of replacing your stack, Hackuity connects it, normalizes it, and turns fragmented findings into operational action.

SCENARIOS
When teams choose Hackuity
SCENARIO 01
From Nucleus-centric VM to vendor-neutral CTEM
Nucleus is a capable vulnerability management platform. But if your stack includes tools beyond what Nucleus natively integrates, coverage gaps appear. Hackuity normalizes findings from every tool, 130+ connectors, no scanner bias, into one exposure view, and adds the CTEM operating model Nucleus does not provide.
SCENARIO 02
Building a Vulnerability Operations Center on top of Nucleus
Nucleus tells you what's vulnerable and surfaces risk priorities. It doesn't route ownership, enforce SLAs, or prove remediation progress to your board. Hackuity turns findings into a structured operational program, from triage to closure to reporting.
SCENARIO 03
Delivering managed vulnerability services at scale
Nucleus targets MSSPs but is not purpose-built for multi-tenant service delivery. Hackuity is designed for it from day one: isolated client environments, per-client reporting, and a scalable VOC model that grows with your practice without adding operational overhead.

FAQ
Questions buyers ask when comparing platforms
Can Hackuity replace Qualys?
Hackuity isn’t a vulnerability scanner. It works with scanners like Qualys, Tenable, and Rapid7. If you already use Qualys for scanning, you can keep it and use Hackuity as the operating layer for aggregation, prioritization, and remediation.
Hackuity x Qualys
Why use Hackuity if we already have Qualys?
You don’t need to replace Qualys. Hackuity connects Qualys findings with data from your other scanners and security tools. It normalizes and deduplicates everything, then gives your team one place to prioritize risk and drive remediation.
Hackuity x Qualys
How is Hackuity different from Qualys for integrations?
Qualys is built primarily around its own security ecosystem. Hackuity is vendor-neutral by design, connecting with 100+ security tools across scanners, cloud security, threat intelligence, asset management, and ITSM. This lets you build vulnerability operations around your existing stack, instead of one vendor.
