Lumension Scan
Lumension Scan™ is a complete stand-alone, network-based scanning solution that performs a comprehensive external scan of all devices connected to your network, both managed and unmanaged. Once assets are identified, the powerful, yet easy-to-use Lumension Scan detects weaknesses on these devices before they can be exploited.
Lumension Case Study
It is imperative that organizations move away from the scan-and-patch mindset. Not only is it a reactive method of security, but also not every problem can be fixed with a patch.

Vulnerability Assessment Business Issues and Challenges
Today's enterprise has virtually become borderless; devices are brought in and out of the environment due to increased workforce mobility. Organisations no longer have visibility into what systems and applications are running on the network at any given time. This makes it almost impossible to identify which vulnerabilities may exist within the network environment.
Security vulnerabilities are growing exponentially. malware has increased by 500%, and major AV firms are falling behind on documenting known signatures¹. In a July 2008 study², 6437 new vulnerabilities were disclosed and nearly 410,000 new examples of malware, including viruses, worms, back doors, key loggers, Trojans, spyware, and rootkits released in 2007.
Even more alarming is that 90% of security vulnerabilities could be exploited remotely, i.e. over the network³. It's evident that organisations need a solution that addresses all of these concerns and improves their security posture; one that allows real-time visibility and proactive vulnerability management.
