ISS' Internet Scanner vulnerability assessment application provides the foundation for effective network security for all organisations. Internet Scanner minimises risks by identifying the security holes, or vulnerabilities, in the network so they can be protected before an attack occurs.
Complete Vulnerability Management
Internet Scanner can identify more than 1,300 types of networked devices on a network, including desktops, servers, routers/switches, firewalls, security devices and application routers.
Once all networked devices are identified, Internet Scanner analyses the configurations, patch levels, operating systems and installed applications to find vulnerabilities that could be exploited by hackers trying to gain unauthorised access.
Internet Scanner Features
Internet Scanner has scanned more electronic assets and identified more vulnerabilities at more companies in the past 10 years than any other vulnerability scanning product. 19 of the world's 20 largest financial institutions rely on Internet Scanner for vulnerability assessment and management.
Key Features:
Unlimited Asset Identification
Internet Scanner helps your customers keep an accurate inventory of the electronic assets connected to their network. It identifies more than 1,300 types of devices using Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) stack fingerprinting and an integrated NMAP asset database. User-defined extensions can be added to the database to enable custom asset identification.
Dynamic Check Assignment
Internet Scanner's intelligent scanning agent increases scanning speed and accuracy by identifying the operating systems (OS) of target hosts and then automatically running OS-specific checks to find vulnerabilities.
Common Policy Editor
Internet Scanner's easy-to-use Common Policy Editor gives complete control of scanning policies. 20 predefined policies, including the SANS Top 20 and X-Force Catastrophic Risk Index policies, allow for quick configuration of scans for an organisation. The FlexCheck feature allows power users to write custom checks.
Real-time Display
Internet Scanner's real-time display options enable you to review scan results and monitor scans in progress to quickly identify vulnerabilities and vulnerable hosts.
Vulnerability Catalogue
The Internet Scanner vulnerability catalogue delivers in-depth information on vulnerabilities, including root causes, detailed descriptions and remediation steps. The catalogue is produced by ISS' world-renown X-Force security research and development team.
Comprehensive Reporting
Internet Scanner delivers a large selection of reports that enable quick and easy information sharing across all levels of an organisation, with more than 70 pre-defined reports including:
Enterprise-class Scalability
When managed using SiteProtector, hundreds of Internet Scanner agents deliver enterprise-wide vulnerability management for even the largest organisations.
Remote Scanning
SiteProtector controls and operates scanning agents located in remote geographies and behind firewalls.
Enterprise Reporting
SiteProtector enables true multi-scanner/multi-scan enterprise correlation, aggregation and reporting. Management reports deliver concise information, while detailed operational reports assist technicians with vulnerability remediation. In addition, SiteProtector allows information assets to be grouped according to the enterprise layout and produces reports using that structure.
Automatic Security Content Updates
Using SiteProtector, updated security content can be applied automatically so that vulnerability management systems are continuously improving.
Command Scheduler
The feature-rich SiteProtector command scheduler enables you to run scans, generate reports and update vulnerability information automatically.
Asset Management
SiteProtector performs automatic, passive discovery of information assets, identifying new assets as they are added to the network. You can also import a company's assets from the active directory structure, import assets from external databases and group assets easily.
Real-time Display
SiteProtector's real-time, flexible display options allow you to monitor vulnerability information at the macro level down to the micro level, with the ability to create custom analysis views that can be saved and shared with other users. The FastAnalysis feature delivers guided analysis, offering answers to the most common-context sensitive questions with a single click.
User Administration
SiteProtector allows you to manage user accounts and roles easily, including group-based user access control.
