As IT environments have become increasingly complex, supporting virtual, distributed and disparate platforms, companies must ensure that they maintain control of their information and system management. IT organizations often manage multiple point-based technologies, which add complexity and cost. A new approach is required to simplify the IT environment and ensure enhanced security and IT risk management with the lowest total cost of ownership possible.
Such a solution is particularly important to effectively manage and implement the flood of software vulnerabilities, patches and configurations to reduce your threat exposure. With software companies shortening application and OS lifecycles and prematurely releasing versions, the number of bugs and design flaws is growing exponentially. In fact, an average of 19 new vulnerabilities are released per day.¹ Plus, the proliferation of Web 2.0 and social networking have created new avenues to introduce malware into the workplace.
To ensure that systems remain configured and remediated correctly against the ever growing list of application and OS vulnerabilities, a solution is needed that automates discovery, assessment and remediation for heterogeneous environments and alerts busy IT administrators to issues proactively so they can address them immediately.
How it Works:
1. Discover – Gain complete visibility of your heterogeneous network environment. Proactively discover all of your IT assets, both managed and unmanaged, through in-depth scans and flexible grouping and classification options.
2. Assess – Proactively identify known issues before they can be exploited. Perform a deep analysis and thorough OS, application and security configuration vulnerability assessments.
3. Prioritize – Focus on your most critical security risks first.
4. Remediate – Automatically deploy patches to an entire network. Simplify the process of maintaining a secure environment by continuously monitoring, detecting and remediating policy-driven environments across all major platforms and applications.
5. Report – Gain a holistic view your environmental risk. Access a full range of operational and management reports that consolidate discovery, assessment and remediation information on a single management console.
