System Architecture

Compare the open-source local architecture with the managed Asymptote platform architecture

Asymptote supports two architecture paths: the open-source Agent Beacon architecture for local endpoint telemetry, and the managed Asymptote architecture for centralized visibility, governance, detections, and investigations.

Open Source Architecture

See how Agent Beacon collects, normalizes, stores, and forwards local agent harness telemetry.

Managed Architecture

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