TL;DR – Go Straight to the Report
You can’t protect what you don’t know exists. The discovery of hard- and software data plays a critical role in maintaining an up-to-date synopsis of your entire IT estate. Leveraging that collected network data is a fundamental starting point for implementing security measures across your organization. A vulnerability report can do wonders!
The next step is to multiply the value of your network inventory with powerful reporting. Aside from our popular monthly Patch Tuesday reports, we publish ad-hoc vulnerability reports to help you mitigate security risks as soon as possible.
