Description:
Network vulnerabilities and threats pose serious risks to all businesses. Compound that with strict compliance and policy requirements plus the rigorous demands of audits, and you're bound to lose sleep at night.
Put risk and compliance concerns to bed with McAfee Foundstone Enterprise.
Foundstone Enterprise is more than a network scanner; its priority-based approach combines vulnerability, asset data, and countermeasures to help you make more informed decisions. It uses threat intelligence and correlation to help you determine how emerging threats and vulnerabilities on networked systems affect your risk profile, so that you deploy resources where they’re needed most. Enterprises improve operational efficiency and security protection while meeting compliance requirements.
A secure, hardened appliance, Foundstone Enterprise installs easily and increases the efficiency of your existing resources, resulting in a low cost of ownership.
You can rely on Foundstone for the highest degree of accuracy and performance. It performs credential-based scans of UNIX, Cisco IOS, and Microsoft® Windows platforms for correct patching. The Foundstone Content Release Calendar provides automated download of updates, including new OS support, vulnerability scan scripts, and compliance checks, so that you can stay on top of vulnerabilities and policy violations.
Foundstone integrates with your existing technologies and with other McAfee products, leveraging your current investments. Its integration capabilities extend the benefits of protection and compliance to risk aware intrusion prevention (IPS), monitoring risk scores, countermeasure awareness, and problem resolution. McAfee IntruShield® correlates Foundstone data to inform you of the most relevant threats targeting your systems. McAfee Preventsys® Compliance Auditor collects data from Foundstone to calculate risks, monitor risk scores, and automate compliance reporting.
