SeerScan™ first identifies all machines in your network that
are visible from the Internet, such as web, mail or file servers, firewalls,
routers, switches and desktop PC's. SeerScan™ then discovers the services that
each machine offers, the type of operating system and the versions of each
publicly accessible application.
Phase Two: Exploration
Each
service and application discovered in phase one is cross-referenced to an
extensive database to generate a list of potential vulnerabilities. For example,
if a machine is running Windows and offering web service, a list of Microsoft
IIS vulnerability checks is enabled.
There is a total of over 1,500
vulnerability checks in the SeerScan™ database, and the number grows
continually as new security holes are discovered. Our security experts monitor
vendor security bulletins, security organization announcements and "black hat"
hacking sites to keep the vulnerability database as current as possible, and
your network as secure as it can be.
Phase Three: Reporting
SeerScan™
provides reports tailored to each role in your enterprise:
Executive summaries that offer a graphical synopsis of
security status and trending at a glance.
IT manager's reports that provide a high-level technical overview and
facilitate informed decision making to allocate resources to ensure the
protection of critical information assets.
Network administrator's reports that contain detailed descriptions of
vulnerabilities, step-by-step instructions on repairing them and extensive
technical references to the appropriate security bulletins and articles.
All reports will be in PDF format for email distribution.
