Vulnerability Management Reports

report Choosing the Right Vulnerability Scanner for Your Organization
Vulnerability scanners can be used to help detect and fix systemic problems in an organization's security program and monitor the effectiveness of security controls. However, a vulnerability scanner can improve the organization?s security posture only when it is used as part of a vulnerability management program, in which products, processes and people are working together to find, identify, prioritize and mitigate threats. Here are some tips on choosing and implementing vulnerability scanners in your enterprise.

report Using Google to Find Vulnerabilities In Your IT Environment
Attackers are increasingly using a simple method for finding flaws in websites and applications: they Google them. Using Google code search, hackers can identify crucial vulnerabilities in application code strings, providing the entry point they need to break through application security. Sound scary? It is, but there is good news: You can use these same methods to find flaws before the bad guys do. In this special report, we outline methods for using search engines such as Google and Bing to identify vulnerabilities in your applications, systems and services--and to fix them before they can be exploited.

report Security Pro's Guide to Patch Management
It's no longer sufficient to patch just Windows, Office and IE. With the massive array of applications now residing on enterprise PCs, and the proliferation of mobile and cloud-based applications, your business is far too vulnerable to exploitation unless you have a solid strategy for patch prioritization, deployment and quality assurance. Follow these steps to put your plan in place.
