FORTISCAN VULNERABILITY MANAGEMENT

FortiScan provides a centrally managed, enterprise-scale solution that enables organizations to close IT compliance gaps, and implement continuous monitoring in order to audit, evaluate, and comply with internal, industry, and regulatory policies for IT controls and security at the Operating System (OS) level. Organizations realize quick time-to-value with easy to install, intuitive, high value standard compliance policies (NIST SCAP, FDCC, PCI-DSS, SOX, GLBA, HIPAA) ready out-of-the-box with regular updates by FortiGuard to ensure OS regulatory compliance requirements are met. FortiScan dedicated hardware appliances easily plug into the network for fast deployment. FortiScan integrates endpoint vulnerability management, industry and federal compliance, patch management, remediation, auditing and reporting into a single, unified appliance for immediate results. A centralized administration console facilitates management of multiple FortiScan appliances across the enterprise.

  • Identifies security vulnerabilities and finds compliance exposures on hosts, servers and throughout the network transparently to end-users.
  • Network discovery, asset prioritization and profile-based scanning.
  • Industry, regulatory and best practices, including templates for ISO 17799, SOX, HIPAA, GLBA, NIST, SCAP, and FISMA.
  • Audits and monitors across heterogeneous systems and provides industry standard benchmarks for IS compliance audits for operating systems.
  • Aids compliance for regulatory mandates with 360 degree Reporting and Analysis, and Views.
  • Delivers patch management with ready-to-deploy remediation and enforcement actions - remediation capability goes beyond traditional patch management, allowing network managers to change configurations and potentially mitigate weak settings, including disabling an application or denying a network request.
  • Reduced errors, repeatable processes, and predictable results delivered with extensive libraries of templates that enable IT staff to leverage industry standard best practices that produce measurable results.






We went from spending roughly $31,000 a year in support costs for two network security functionalities to $4,000 a year for five functionalities that are proving to work better. For an organization with a tight IT budget, I don't know how it gets better than that.
