Vulnerability Management

The Vulnerability Scanner Module (VSM) allows you to keep pace as your systems change, adapting and continuing to research potential security issues. It provides the full benefit of regular security scans that are integrated and correlated with data and alerts from the other appliances, as well as extensive research capabilities.

The VSM’s extensive reporting gives you individual vulnerability reports for each device, with associated risk levels (informational, low, high, and severe) and appropriate links to remediation steps. The VSM also includes:

On demand scanning options:

• Light – limited port scans that identify common vulnerabilities such as those within DNS, Web, or FT and SMTP;
• Heavy – full port scans that look for all known vulnerabilities and potential risk areas; and
• DOS – scans that identify all dangerous vulnerabilities on the appropriate ports; a scan scheduler – with customizable scanning options for immediate, daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual scans; and a private web portal that allows customers to view alerts, scans, and run reports in real-time.
