Course Description

System Scanner is the industry's leading solution for host-based risk assessment. System Scanner Agents leverage ISS' extensive X-Force Security Knowledge Base to scan systems automatically, applying a comprehensive set of host-based security vulnerability checks and policy rules to quickly identify security risks. System Scanner includes built-in best practice configuration based on years of consulting experience in security policy management. Designed to support the flexibility required by changing e-business and enterprise environments, security assessments can be centralized or distributed.
