Using a standard Web browser interface, Accumuli’s HVS (Hosted Vulnerability Scanning) service provides unlimited scans of any number of external IP addresses which can be routinely scheduled as often as necessary. Providing detailed, easy to read reports of all the vulnerabilitiespresent in the network, our cloud based scanning engine enables informed decision making and scheduling of resources to maintain an optimum corporate security posture.Although many companies may have already invested significantly in security technologies such as Firewalls, IDS and anti-virus solutions, the complexity of networks and the development of new threats means that these systems need to be continuously maintained to stay up-to-date. Once just ‘good security practice’, this requirement has become a mandated feature of the corporate security procedures needed to ensure

that companies can demonstrate compliance with the growing number of security standards that now impact most businesses. Through its non-intrusive state of the art scanning and advanced reporting techniques, HVS enables our customers to secure their networks, comply with industry or governmental regulations and achieve complete peace of mind.

Solution Benefits

Why use HVS?

As well as good security practice, Government and industry regulations are an increasing issue for network security managers, particularly for organisations that store large amounts of personal customer information. This particularly applies to companies that process credit card transactions as part of their business operations and are subject to the PCI Data Security Standard regulations. HVS PCI DSS approved reports and remediation workflow features are designed to help ensure full compliance between quarterly PCI audit periods.

• Detailed reporting options including PCI DSS and SANS top 20 formats

• Vulnerability alerts and professional remediation advice

At login, HVS users are presented with a unique GUI dashboard that provides an “at-a-glance” overview of their organisation’s current security threat status. Presented in clear graphical format, the network administrator can see immediately if there are any critical security issues that require urgent attention and drill down to obtain more detailed information on the exact nature of the threat together with professional remediation advice.

HVS delivers technical and summary data in a concise report format. Graphical reports can be generated in HTML or PDF format utilising the easy-to-use web interface. Not all vulnerabilities carry the same level of urgency or security threat; HVS reports summarise the security posture of each network device, including information about the scan, specific host information, and a list of detected vulnerabilities. These reports present a description of each security risk detected, the severity level of the threat, the potential consequences of exposure, regulatory compliance information and links to validated patches and fixes. Armed with this information, security managers can prioritise where, when and how to best implement corrective action.
