The ProtectPoint™ vulnerability scanning service finds, assesses, and reports on vulnerabilities present on your network infrastructure and endpoints. Through its regularly scheduled and automated Nessus-based scanning process, our vulnerability scanning service identifies vulnerabilities present on your critical assets, like web servers, financial systems, network infrastructure, and endpoints.

Our comprehensive vulnerability database, which is updated hourly by our global Security Alert Team (SAT), includes research and advice to help you determine how to repair specific vulnerabilities. All scan results are organized by IP address, allowing you to focus on remediation priorities. You access all vulnerability reports through our secure RADAR customer portal, as shown in Figure 1.

Compliance and auditing

Beyond improving your security, our vulnerability scanning service helps bring you into compliance with security and regulatory policy. Prevailing info security regulations such as PCI, Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, GLBA, and FISMA require tight control over sensitive data—our vulnerability scanning service let's you prove that your network is secure, and that procedures are in place for mitigating risk.

Correlating attacks with vulnerabilities

When combined with our managed intrusion detection/prevention service, ProtectPoint's vulnerability scanning service correlates incoming attacks with devices that are potentially in a vulnerable state, allowing our security analysts to take immediate, priority action to ensure damage does not occur (see Figure 2). This allows organizations with limited IT resources to breathe easy, knowing that attacks aimed at their network's weakest links are identified and blocked in real time.
