Looking at vulnerabilities and controls in isolation creates holes which attackers can exploit. Vulnerability validation solves this problem by testing whether vulnerabilities in your network could be exploited by an attacker. Lack of vulnerability validation along with long reports showing numerous “high” priority issues leads to lack of confidence and the inability for IT organizations to act on security issues.
Nexpose Ultimate addresses both of these challenges by assessing vulnerabilities and controls together, and by providing IT operations with validated, simple, and clear remediation reports, specific to their area of responsibility. This enables them to act on the highest priority issues.
By gathering vulnerability, compliance, and controls information in a single scan, Rapid7 Nexpose Ultimate enables IT security teams to determine their exposure across their physical and virtual networks, mobile devices, and Amazon Web Services cloud while understanding the risk associated with each asset. This single scan methodology enables organizations to gain critical insight into their risk while imposing the smallest possible burden on the network.
