With at least ten new vulnerabilities discovered every 24 hours, IT professionals face a daunting security administration challenge. Just as companies use continuous anti-virus protection, organizations must implement continuous vulnerability management solutions to mitigate risk. According to the CERT Coordination Center, "99% of intrusions result from exploitation of known vulnerabilities or configuration errors where countermeasures were available." Vulnerability management is often a regulatory mandate and is a critical component of any security program because it enables security professionals to proactively detect and remediate vulnerabilities before they are exploited by hackers or malware.

Vulnerability management is often synonymous with scanning tools. However, effective vulnerability management consists of more than a tool. IrontouchMS's vulnerability management services enable organizations to quickly implement a best-of-breed vulnerability management program without software and infrastructure costs and with a minimum burden on internal personnel. IrontouchMS vulnerability management services provide:

• Continual protection with 24/7 visibility scans to maintain scan effectiveness. Scans often fail to keep up with changes to an organization's infrastructure which can introduce new vulnerabilities.
• Verification and constant monitoring of changes to your environment and the effectiveness of your security controls, including between scheduled scans to bridge any gaps that could otherwise occur.
• False positive removal to ensure that internal IT resources can focus on remediating real vulnerabilities, not fruitless investigations.
• Certified PCI compliance reporting to meet the organization's requirements for quarterly perimeter scanning under the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard.
• Web-based reporting and workflow to help companies track risk, root-cause, progress and maximize the productivity of remediation efforts.
• Classification and documentation of all findings to facilitate the audit process.

• Our enterprise security monitoring and information management platform, integrates and correlates active attacks with a client's vulnerability data to increase detection intelligence and determine if an organization is really at risk.
• IrontouchMS combines multiple best-of-breed network and application scanners into a single integrated service, eliminating false positives, and identifying critical vulnerabilities that would otherwise escape detection.
• We provide visibility for change management, allowing risk identification and remediation prior to network intrusion.
• IrontouchMS offers multiple tiers of external vulnerability management services and internal vulnerability management services so that organizations can select the optimal level of protection for their budget.

• Manage and reduce security and compliance risk by proactively identifying and fixing security vulnerabilities.
• Quickly implement an effective vulnerability management program without software and infrastructure costs and with a minimum burden on internal personnel.
• Increase the efficiency and effectiveness of vulnerability management efforts by leveraging IrontouchMS's mature processes, infrastructure, and security experts.
