As hackers continue to expand their attack surface, it's imperative that organizations protect all assets within the network, including non-critical devices that continue to be used to infiltrate internal networks. Organizations must also have solutions in place to defend against all known vulnerabilities.
NNT Vulnerability Tracker helps organizations by ensuring that any known vulnerabilities within software and configuration settings within your environment are identified by continuously testing and assessing your IT network and any device(s) connected to it against thousands of Network Vulnerability Tests (NVTs). New vulnerabilities are added daily to ensure you're staying up to date with the latest security threats.
