Proactive, methodical security for your network
The VAM® vulnerability management platform identifies, tracks, and manages the repair of network vulnerabilities across the enterprise. VAM mitigates the risk of network exploitation through end-to-end vulnerability lifecycle management, delivering:

• Systematic vulnerability scanning: fast, accurate, comprehensive, with minimal network impact
• Automated, scheduled device discovery and network mapping; fully configurable, tunable
• Extensible Vulnerability Repair Workflow™: automatic assignment of repairs and scheduling, lifecycle tracking, automated repair verification, detailed device histories
• Audit and management reporting
• Trending and workflow analysis
• Multi-user, role-based permissions/access
• Distributed architecture for large organizations; centralized data warehousing
• Full integration with existing IT systems through Enterprise Integration Framework™ suite of open APIs

VAM goes well beyond the routine scanning and reporting offered by simple vulnerability scanners. Effective vulnerability management takes into account regulatory/compliance requirements, the diminishing time between the identification of a vulnerability and its exploitation, and the need to maximize the efficiency of limited IT resources. VAM meets these challenges by offering:

• Regulatory compliance: VAM ensures and demonstrates the integrity of systems housing sensitive information through comprehensive reporting and device histories
• Integration with existing critical IT systems and processes, such as trouble-ticketing, patch management, network management, and other security-related systems
• An open, distributed architecture that scales seamlessly to global, enterprise-wide deployments, yet offers centralized Web-based management.

Up and running in 30 minutes
There aren't many enterprise-scale security systems that can be running on your network, delivering invaluable data for protecting your organization, a half hour after you take them out of the box. Whether you opt to install VAM software on your own off-the-shelf hardware or choose our pre-installed VAM appliance, you can plug it in, enter a network range, and turn it loose.
