Saves time through automated and continuous scanning

Scans up to 5 network segments from a single appliance, helping to reduce costs

Accelerating time to risk reduction by prioritizing protection
Your network is constantly under threat from viruses, worms, spyware, unauthorized users, and other security threats. Performing a critical task such as vulnerability management within your organization's time and cost constraints is a challenge. You need to convert the complex procedures necessary to assess IT risks into simple ones, as well as automate the time-consuming manual steps to free up resources. You need the ability to scan multiple network segments, which can require additional hardware, further adding to your cost. Plus, you need to plan remedial measures and meet regulatory compliance.

Enterprise Scanner is a proactive tool that accelerates time to risk reduction by prioritizing vulnerability remediation tasks. It eliminates manual steps by allowing continuous automated scanning across multiple network segments from a single appliance. It helps you leverage existing investments and decrease the cost of ownership through IT system integration. It helps identify existing IT risks and enables you to observe due diligence in conforming to regulatory requirements.
