eTrust Vulnerability Manager Determines What Vulnerabilities Affect Which Assets

eTrust Vulnerability Manager is a revolutionary vulnerability management appliance that provides you with the tools and security intelligence necessary to eliminate one of the greatest threats to your networks — vulnerabilities. eTrust Vulnerability Manager helps your organization determine what vulnerabilities affect which assets by taking real-time technology inventories and correlating them with validated vulnerabilities in a risk based task list — complete with remediation instructions. All of these steps are performed automatically, providing you with an instant risk assessment of critical business assets.

An integral part of the eTrust Threat Management solution, eTrust Vulnerability Manager lets you focus on closing high-risk vulnerabilities that affect your critical business assets and immediately obtain asset-based vulnerability reports. You can verify that fixes have been addressed and document completion of a task through the work history. In addition, you can generate summary reports and quantify their risk posture. As new vulnerabilities are discovered and published, they will dynamically appear in your risk-based task list.

Manage Your Risk From an Asset View

eTrust Vulnerability Manager architecture is based on hardware and software components that enable your organization to internally manage individual systems within a distributed network securely. All of the asset and vulnerability information is encrypted and resides internally. From any computer within its network, your enterprise can launch its browser and view a real-time risk status of multiple systems. In addition, eTrust Vulnerability Manager helps solve the major obstacles your organization may encounter while managing vulnerabilities:

• Know What You Have — eTrust Inventory Service. This powerful service helps you accurately identify all of your critical assets, as well as inventory the operating system, applications and databases running on them — down to the hot fix level.

• Know the Exposures — Validated Knowledge. CA’s highly trained Research Team works diligently to validate each vulnerability, helping to ensure the accuracy of the claim, assess the associated business risk and quickly identify actions necessary for remediation.

• Know What Action to Take — Vulnerability to Asset Correlation. Allows you to correlate vulnerability knowledge with your specific assets, generating a prioritized task list complete with keystroke-by-keystroke remediation instructions.

eTrust Vulnerability Manager automates complex vulnerability management steps by integrating them into one effective solution.
