IT Security Vulnerabilities Program

Archer IT Security Vulnerabilities Program enables security teams to systematically identify and prioritize threats and vulnerabilities based on the level of risk to the business. These teams can also proactively manage IT security risks by combining asset business context, vulnerability assessment results and comprehensive workflow in one place. IT assets can be cataloged with a full business context overlay to prioritize scanning and response. The consolidated platform for vulnerability management enables centralized tracking and remediation of related issues.

With Archer IT Security Vulnerabilities Program, IT security analysts can implement alerts, explore vulnerability scan results and analyze issues as they arise, to help boost the closure rate for critical gaps. The ability to research known vulnerabilities helps prioritize efforts for IT operations, resulting in reduced cost, time and effort and enhanced visibility into dangerous vulnerabilities in critical assets.

A powerful and flexible rules engine highlights new threats, overdue issues and changing business needs. For business and IT managers, a consolidated management module integrates powerful analytics with reporting, workflow and a risk-management framework to enable data-driven security decisions. Using Archer IT Security Vulnerabilities Program, organizations can effectively manage the entire vulnerability lifecycle, from detection and reporting through remediation and verification.
