Key Features and Benefits

• Assesses compliance with policies, standards and other security drivers. NetIQ Vulnerability Manager allows security analysts and auditors to define comprehensive configuration policy templates and automatically evaluate systems against those policies. Delta Reports enable you to quickly identify changes in a system since the last audit.
• Reduces vulnerabilities and protects against worms, attacks and other threats. NetIQ Vulnerability Manager enables administrators to proactively harden their systems by quickly identifying vulnerabilities of all sources, including configuration flaws, missing patches, unprotected user accounts and dangerous services.
• Enables fast remediation by identifying systems compromised by the latest threats. Unlike vulnerability scanners, NetIQ Vulnerability Manager quickly identifies exploited systems by searching for the signs of compromise, such as altered registry keys or dangerous files. It optimizes remediation through configuration management and detailed knowledge.
• Improves security knowledge by delivering robust policy templates, vulnerability bulletins and automated checks over the Internet. NetIQ's AutoSync technology automatically delivers leading practice policy templates-vulnerability bulletins powered by TruSecure and automated checks. Users can instantly use the latest knowledge to protect their environment.
• Manages and measures risk at all levels of the enterprise. NetIQ Vulnerability Manager measures the level of threats posed by vulnerabilities and compliance exceptions against the importance of managed assets. It produces powerful metrics to illustrate risk on a system-by-system as well as a group-by-group basis.
• Protects the enterprise by covering a broad variety of critical computing technologies. NetIQ Vulnerability Manager supports numerous operating systems and databases, as well as Microsoft IIS Web Server. It provides options for both agent and agent-less assessments to meet your security needs and network architecture requirements.
