System Scanner

System Scanner – Host-based Vulnerability Management
The System Scanner network security application operates as an integrated component of Internet Security Systems' security management platform, assessing host security, monitoring, detecting and reporting system security weaknesses. Monitoring the server for changes including users, group, services, shares and system integrity through the baseline of files and registry keys. System Scanner measures, manages and enforces security policies across a wide range of operating systems using a host-to-network view of critical systems and servers.
