        I attended a two-day course in Paris some time ago, made by
        VigilantE guys.
        They have another product that can be used remotely: all the
        scans are done by the VigilantE system remotely, and you can
        control jobs remotely from [insert you favourite browser here].
        AFAIK, the scanning engine is the same used by securescanNX (ex
        Perimeter, IIRC) and you can download a .pdf report at the end
        of the scan.
        Pros:
                - you can use it everywhere you have a browser
                - reports are double-checked manually before you can
                 download them
                - basically it creates the report for you
                - you pay the ip addresses you scan, and not the scan
                  itself (same price, up to 12 scans/year)
        Cons:
                - I don't know how much it costs
                - you can only scan public ip addresses
                - it's not the fastest on earth (manually supervised,
                  but it will change in the future)
        
        BTW, it uses all the tools we commonly have (nmap, icmpush...)
        plus some smartware by VigilantE.
