Introducing new vulnerability scanner

GFI LANguard N.S.S. makes use of state of the art vulnerability check databases based on OVAL and SANS Top 20, providing over 15,000 vulnerability assessments when your network is scanned. GFI LANguard N.S.S. gives you the information and tools you need to perform multi-platform scans across all environments, to analyze your network’s security health and effectively install and manage patches on all machines across different operating systems and in different languages. This results in a consistently configured environment that is secure against all vulnerabilities.
QualysGuard® Vulnerability Management (VM) automates the lifecycle of network auditing and vulnerability management across the enterprise, including network discovery and mapping, asset prioritization, vulnerability assessment reporting and remediation tracking according to business risk. Driven by the most comprehensive vulnerability KnowledgeBase in the industry, QualysGuard delivers continuous protection against the latest worms and security threats without the substantial cost, resource and deployment issues associated with traditional software. As an on demand Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution, there is no infrastructure to deploy or manage.
QualysGuard VM enables small to large organizations to effectively manage their vulnerabilities and maintain control over their network security with centralized reports, verified remedies, and full remediation workflow capabilities with trouble tickets. QualysGuard provides comprehensive reports on vulnerabilities including severity levels, time to fix estimates and impact on business, plus trend analysis on security issues.

Passive vulnerability scanning is the process of monitoring network traffic at the packet layer to determine topology, services, and vulnerabilities. This document will discuss the technology of passive vulnerability scanning, its deployment issues, and its many applications. It will also compare passive vulnerability scanning technology to network intrusion detection technology. Example "plugins" used to detect network vulnerabilities is also included. This paper assumes the reader has a basic knowledge of TCP/IP networking, network intrusion detection, and vulnerability scanning.
Tenable offers the Passive Vulnerability Scanner (formerly NeVO). This paper not only serves as an introduction to passive vulnerability scanning, it also includes many examples specific to the Passive Vulnerability Scanner.
