Feeble Attempts at Prevention
-
- Runs an analysis of known vulnerabilities and makes a general “health” assessment.
- Relies on prior knowledge/art.
Internet Security Systems (ISS) Scanners (http://www.iss.net)
- VERY expensive nessus-like “health” assessment tools.
- Presumably relies on prior knowledge/art.
Notes:
Both of these tools are actually quite good at doing what they are supposed to do. The reason why I chose “feeble” is because like most tools, they cannot predict the future when it comes to attack methods.
Still, a well update nessus or ISS scanner will show the current set of common vulnerabilities on your network. I would personally recommend nessus simply based on cost.
