SecurityEXPERT - Policy-Driven Vulnerability Management Listing updated: May 2, 2005

SecurityEXPERT brings recommendations together in a view where it is easy for the systems administrator to set a security policy without conflicts. Users can review the recommendations based on selected machine configurations and create settings policy based on those recommendations. While patching is important, best practices for System Vulnerability Management dictate creating a security policy, enforcing the policy and routinely auditing machines.

SecurityEXPERT uses a policy-based approach where security settings are presented in templates that encapsulate a variety of third party recommendations. You can review these recommendations and create your settings policies based on them. You can then audit, enforce and report on managed machines with respect to their assigned policies.
