Description:
Scanning is done from the McAfee Security Operations Center, so there’s no setup or configuration. Start managing threats immediately. No matter where you are, simply log in to a web portal.
With this service, you can evaluate weaknesses of network devices exposed to the Internet. See what the hackers see—vulnerabilities in your systems and applications exposed to the Internet—and take quick action to minimize the possibility of attacks.
At the Threat Correlation Module, assess how new threats affect your risk profile. The risk ranking for each threat is correlated to current asset and vulnerability information about your enterprise. Now you can prioritize your vulnerabilities and respond quickly to protect your most valuable assets. The Threat Correlation module also gives you up-to-the-minute Threat Intelligence Alerts from McAfee® Avert® Labs.
You also get a complete map of your Internet-facing network, including wireless access points and load balancers, along with vulnerabilities and security status. This service analyzes all vulnerabilities and flawed configurations on operating systems, network devices, commercial applications, databases, wireless devices, and custom web applications.
Executive-level metrics and reporting make it easy to evaluate your security status, measure improvement, assess costs, and determine industry and government compliance, including how you measure up to mandates outlined in SOX, FISMA, HIPAA, and PCI DSS. If you require quarterly vulnerability scans for PCI compliance, use the McAfee PCI Certification Service. Customers also receive help with PCI security policy creation, self-assessment questionnaires and certificates of compliance for submission to acquiring banks.

Vulnerability Management Service is hosted by McAfee, and the only system requirement is Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher.
