Introduction

With increasingly sophisticated attacks on the rise, the ability to quickly mitigate network vulnerabilities is imperative. Vulnerabilities if left undetected pose a serious security threat to enterprise systems and can leave vital corporate data exposed to attacks by malicious hackers. For organizations, it means extended system downtimes and huge loss of revenue and productivity.

The goal of a vulnerability management system is to identify such security holes in your network infrastructure and remediate them before they are exploited. Vulnerability management systems, or vulnerability scanners as they are popularly known, help you in performing the following tasks:

• Cataloging network assets or resources through network discovery.
• Assessing the network health by scanning the discovered assets for vulnerabilities.
• Identifying the vulnerabilities or potential threats to each resource.
• Categorizing the risk level based on vulnerability severity.
• Providing remediation solutions to mitigate the risks.
• Regularly updating itself to keep track of the latest vulnerability signature.

Security Manager Plus is a web-based, enterprise vulnerability management software that proactively reports on network vulnerabilities and helps to remediate them and ensure compliance. Its open ports detection, vulnerability scanning and patch management capabilities protect your network from security threats and malicious attacks.
