VAM 3.5 from StillSecure adds a Quick-scan feature to the vulnerability assessment and management product that enables on-demand scans when administrators are concerned about vulnerabilities to new threats.
The Quick-scan results are incorporated into VAM's Vulnerability Repair Workflow system, to ensure that remediation and resolution happen in accordance to regular practices of the system.
Other news features in VAM 3.5 include: a more efficient discovery scan that optimizes the velocity of device mapping; deeper reporting flexibility that enables reports to be generated based on group scan policy, device and vulnerability type; correlation between VAM and StillSecure's Border Guard intrusion detection/prevention system to shield vulnerable devices from attack; and increased granularity and control over permissions, which allows administrators to assign scan policies to one or more groups, while maintaining control over who can modify specific scan policies.
Other features of VAM include the ability to automatically discover any new device attached to the network, scheduled vulnerability scans, automated updating of scan software, and the Repair Workflow system that notifies relevant parties and gives administrators control over the remediation process.
"We have implemented not only tools for scanning, but a system of software and processes targeted to medium to large enterprises that they can use to negotiate between different organization roles to make sure vulnerabilities get addressed," says Mitchell Ashley, vice president of engineering and CIO of StillSecure.
StillSecure VAM 3.5 is sold on an annual subscription or perpetual license basis, based on the number and type of devices, identified by an IP address. For perpetual licenses, the price to scan 16 server IPs is $2,000; the price to scan 64 desktop IPs is $1,500; and the price to scan 2,000 server IPs and 30,000 desktop IPs would be between $100,000 and $150,000.
