The subdomains you don't know about are the ones that will cause the incident you can't explain.
Every client has subdomains that were deployed without a ticket, forgotten after a project ended, or inherited from a predecessor. Aideworks discovers them automatically — learning new subdomain prefixes from SSL certificate SANs and your monitoring activity — so your coverage grows as fast as your clients' infrastructure does.
The subdomains that never made it onto the monitoring spreadsheet
Your monitoring list reflects what you knew about when you set it up — not what actually exists today. These gaps tend to surface at exactly the wrong moment.
The developer's shortcut
test.client.nl was deployed to show a partner an integration prototype. It worked, so they kept using it. Two years later it's handling real payments, has its own Let's Encrypt certificate, and nobody added it to any monitoring list.
The inherited gap
You took over a client from another agency. You received a handover doc listing the main domain and four subdomains. Three months later you discover there are actually eleven — including vpn.client.nl and legacy.client.nl, both internet-facing, neither on your radar.
The SAN gap
An SSL certificate's Subject Alternative Names list exactly which subdomains are live — because each one needed to be explicitly included in the cert. Most monitoring tools check the certificate for expiry. Aideworks reads the SANs and uses them to grow your discovery list.
Coverage that grows with every scan — automatically
Aideworks doesn't just probe a static list. It learns. Every SSL certificate checked, every subdomain you manually add, every scan run — each one potentially reveals a prefix that gets added to the global probe list for all your domains.
Learns from SSL certificate SANs
When Aideworks checks an SSL certificate and finds Subject Alternative Names with unknown prefixes (shop.*, api.*, staging.*), those prefixes are added to the probe list automatically.
Learns from your monitoring activity
When you manually add a new subdomain to monitoring, its prefix is saved and probed across all domains in your account. A prefix discovered for one client benefits all of them.
Prefix intelligence spans your whole account
Prefixes aren't per-domain — they're account-level. A prefix learned from client A gets probed against client B, C and D on the next scan cycle.
New prefixes on every scan
As the probe list grows, every subsequent scan covers more ground. Coverage expands automatically over time without any manual work from your team.
One-click monitors for new discoveries
When a new active subdomain is found, you're notified. From the notification, add SSL, uptime and DNS monitors for the new subdomain in one click — no re-configuration needed.
Auto-discovered prefixes
4 new prefixes added this scan
32 prefixes now probed across 14 domains
Every discovered subdomain becomes eligible for full monitoring in one click.
Finding a subdomain is only step one. Aideworks makes it easy to immediately put it under SSL certificate monitoring, uptime checks and DNS change detection — right from the discovery notification, without navigating to a separate settings page.
New alert recipients, check intervals and port selections inherit from the root domain by default — so adding a new subdomain monitor takes seconds, not minutes. Your coverage grows as fast as your clients' infrastructure does.

Coverage you didn't have to manually configure
The most dangerous subdomains are the ones you didn't know to add. Automatic discovery closes the gap between 'what we're monitoring' and 'what actually exists' — without any manual audit work.
Smarter with every client you add
Prefix learning is account-level. The more domains you monitor, the richer your probe list becomes. An agency with 50 client domains has a materially better discovery capability than one with 5.
No blind spots in the attack surface
Every internet-facing subdomain is a potential security exposure. Subdomain discovery gives you visibility across your entire attack surface — the foundation of any serious monitoring or security posture.
