Re: Vulnerability Assessment

My two shiny centvos --- I would use Nessus, its free, there is a port to Windows, you can write you own plugins, I've seen tenable fix fail postives in a day, if you want to pay for the plug in feed its only 1200 dollars US. if you pay for the plugin feed you can use the compliance checks, Tenable has pre configured checks you can download or you can write them yourself.

check it out, www.nessus.org

I'm not a employee of Tenable Security, I've tried all of the others... Foundscan, retina, ISS, Satan, Saint, etc and I still personnel like Nessus.

Uzair,

I would to say to go for Foundstone-I have worked on this solution for
long and it's really good product for vuln. assessment if designed
correctly and have good reporting feature as well, it'll give you
options to drill down to dll versions and gives you liberty to create
your own tests as well........... other best option would be
Retina....

Hello list,

I have been evaluating an automated vulnerability assessment software, have
found two of them better for the organizational needs. I need your help to
select only one out of the two.

1- QualysGuard (http://www.qualys.com)
2- Foundstone Enterprise

Please advice.
