Honest comparison

Sentrytex alternative: KEV watchtower vs breach-news monitoring

Sentrytex and ZeroDayTracker sit on the same shelf: name your SaaS stack, get alerts, skip the six-figure intel platform. Sentrytex leans into vendor breach news. We lean into CISA’s Known Exploited catalog and the vendors behind your vendors.

Sentrytex is a trademark of its owner. Their site. Facts from public pages as of 2026; products change.

Pick ZeroDayTracker if

  • You want CISA KEV and required action as the primary briefing, not a news firehose.
  • You care when AWS is exploited even if you only listed Slack.
  • You want a public SaaS KEV index you can share with a board or auditor.
  • You prefer $20/month Keep Track with a free three-tool tier and no card to start.

Pick Sentrytex if

  • You want vendor breach disclosures and supply-chain news (OAuth takeovers, domain sales) that never get a CVE.
  • You need sub-hour polling of vendor status pages and GitHub Advisory as a first-class feed.
  • You are optimizing for regulatory clocks on operational breaches, not KEV patch directives.

Same buyer, different promise

Both products assume you do not have Mandiant on retainer. Sentrytex’s homepage is about breach cost and disclosure clocks. Ours is about CISA required action on the tools that hold your data. Read both. The overlap is real; the feed priority is not.

Blast radius is not a status page

A vendor status page will not tell you that Slack’s cloud host is in KEV. Our Keep Track plan will. That fan-out is the feature Sentrytex does not advertise, because it is not their product.

Questions

Does ZeroDayTracker cover vendor breaches like Sentrytex?

No. We do not scrape disclosure blogs as a primary feed. If the incident is in CISA KEV or a critical NVD CVE that matches the catalog, it shows up. Operational breaches without a CVE do not.

Which should a founder buy?

If your fear is “Okta/Slack/AWS is in KEV and nobody told me,” buy ZeroDayTracker. If your fear is “our PaaS was breached and the CVE is a week away,” Sentrytex is built for that.

Watch the SaaS that holds your data.

Three tools free. Keep Track is $20/month for supplier blast-radius, full history, and a digest.
