Tenable’s new Passive Vulnerability Scanner (PVS) which can monitor traffic for as much as 25,000 systems whilst passively detecting vulnerabilities.

The guys at www.security-database.com keep a close eye on hundreds of security tools and they provide free access to the tracking database so that you know exactly which tools you need to update before starting your assessment projects.

Tenable’s Research group recently introduced a highly accurate form of operating system identification. This new method combines input from various other plugins that perform separate techniques to guess or identify a remote operating system.

GFI LANguard is definitely more than a security scanner. The product is able to remotely deploy and track Microsoft software patches and also it can remotely install custom applications.

Omninerd.com has published an extensive article which covers the major 2006 Operating System Vulnerabilities. A lot of work has been put in careful analysis of various flavors of the 4 core OSes available today : Windows, OS X, Linux and UNIX.

Tenable puts a cool Antivirus deployment Audit checks into it’s ground breaking Nessus tool. Compliance is the universal security obsession and I think Nessus will move more and more into this area. Quote:
