While public servers
provide an important link to the outside world, they also make an inviting
target for hackers. Server operating system and application software
vulnerabilities are routinely discovered and addressed with new software
updates, but delays in applying updates can give hackers a window of
opportunity to strike.
SonicWALL Vulnerability Scanning Service is an automated,
web-based service that provides network administrators a "hacker's eye view"
of a company's network perimeter, including public servers, routers and
gateways. This service examines a network perimeter for security weaknesses on
an ongoing basis, reports all vulnerabilities detected, and provides
administrators with in-depth, expert guidance to quickly close up any security
holes.
The subscription-based service offers vulnerability
assessment scans that can scheduled on a regular basis or run on demand when
policies change or new equipment is deployed.
