Online Vulnerability Scanning compared to Appliance Scanning:
When performing online vulnerability scanning you will be limited to scan the external perimeter only. Furthermore, all your scanning data will be stored at the provider of the online scanning service. With our unique Distribution System we provide a safe way of scanning remote LANs and your perimeter.
In both cases The Penetrator appliance stores the data processed from the scan in The Penetrator appliance itself at your site. This is the most flexible way of scanning your internal and external systems at the same.
What is the benefit of appliance vulnerability assessment?
Having a Penetrator appliance provides multiple advantages.
You are automatically guaranteed updates of the signature database several times daily.
You just need to login to the secure web interface and manage the system from any place in the world. There is no need to install any software or allocate a server or desktop to do the scans. You can do the internal scans of all your systems where online scanning is limited to external scanning.
With a Penetrator appliance you can also put it in the DMZ zone and scan your systems “remotely” like an online vulnerability scanning is doing.
Distributed Vulnerability Scanning If you have several office locations in different cities you can via the distributed functionality place a Penetrator appliance in each location and perform scanning centralized. Each Penetrator appliance has build in Client/Master mode scanning after your choice. In this way you can scan the internal network of an office in another city from your location and have all the data stored in your own location via an encrypted connection. |
