Flexera Software Launches Vulnerability Intelligence Manager 2016
November 2015 by Marc Jacob
Flexera Software announced
Vulnerability Intelligence Manager 2016, the latest version of its Software
Vulnerability Management product. The new release enhances businesses’ ability to
manage and control software vulnerability threats comprehensively across their
entire application estates, as cybercrime reaches critical mass and organisations
realise the need to respond to the increasing threat of breaches.
New capabilities in Vulnerability Intelligence Manager 2016 include information on
alleged vulnerabilities that did not pass the validation criteria by Secunia
Research and are therefore not categorised as having a security impact. This
benefits customers who need to document decisions to not act on possible
vulnerabilities for compliance or auditing purposes. Another new feature enables
importing software inventories from Microsoft System Center 2012 to correlate
vulnerability intelligence with asset lists, thereby reducing time required to
mitigate threat and exposure to incidents and breaches.
Verified Intelligence for All Systems and Applications
Covering more than 50,000 software systems and applications, Vulnerability
Intelligence Manager 2016 provides the most comprehensive intelligence about
software vulnerabilities available to organisations, ensuring that all security
threats can be dealt with before the IT infrastructure is compromised by
cybercriminals. Through verified vulnerability intelligence covering all
applications and systems across all platforms, it effectively reduces the attack
surface for cybercriminals, drives prioritisation by handling intelligence,
workflows, tickets and alerts, and documents the steps to mitigate the risk of
costly breaches.
