What are the Key Features and Evaluation Criteria for Vulnerability Assessment Tools?
How many findings from your last vulnerability scan have been verified as fixed? For most IT functions, the scan report is easy to produce, and the proof of closure takes far longer to assemble. That difference tends to surface at the worst possible moment, usually an audit or a post-incident review. Vulnerability assessment tools are meant to end that uncertainty. They inspect systems, match what they find against public vulnerability databases, and rank each weakness by how dangerous it is.
