How It Works: Automated Wizards for Security Testing and Threat Validation
CORE IMPACT Essential includes three automated wizards for gaining visibility into your organization’s frontline network and endpoint security:
Vulnerability Validation Wizard
- the next logical step for organizations using vulnerability scanners to assess their IT security
- eliminates false positives by safely verifying the exploitability of operating system and services vulnerabilities identified by leading third-party scanners
- provides a concise, actionable listing of the vulnerabilities that pose the greatest, most imminent threats to your operations
Network Vulnerability Testing Wizard
- conducts real-world security tests of network servers and workstations without first requiring a vulnerability scan
- automatically identifies and profiles potentially exposed systems, selecting appropriate attacks to replicate
- verifies the effectiveness of defenses and identifies systems in need of critical security patches
Endpoint Security Testing Wizard
- assesses whether end-user systems would be compromised if targeted by email threats
- initiates tests of application, operating system and services security via transparent emails to end users
- measures exposure to “back-door” security threats that gain network entry through employee and contractor systems
All wizards are included in the product, and scalable licensing options allow any size organization to implement its own effective and economical security testing program.
