Network security is an arena where too much precaution is never quite enough. The number of threats to your network-resident files, applications, and transaction data grow exponentially each year. No physical or logical component active on your network is immune. And that’s why a multi-tiered, agile vulnerability management solution is essential to the well-being of your business, and by association your business partners, suppliers, and customers.

Clone Systems has been at the forefront of delivering cutting-edge vulnerability management solutions for more than a decade. Our experience and expertise in this field has made us acknowledge that no single, linear approach to vulnerability management will ultimately suffice. Why? According to Symantec’s Internet Threat Report, 79 percent of all network vulnerabilities detected in the second half of 2006 were ones easily exploited. As the number and sophistication of threats increase so does that percentage.

The Definitive Vulnerability Management Solution

CG-VMS is Clone Systems’ cornerstone vulnerability management product. It is a true end-to-end solution that encompasses all web applications, operating systems, and active network devices. In short, CG-VMS provides your organization a single vehicle through which to achieve best-practices benchmarks and security compliance mandates. It is perhaps the most consummate and unerring enterprise vulnerability assessment and remediation resource available today.

CG-VMS: No Vulnerability Left Behind

There is no short list of what CG-VMS accomplishes. In broad strokes it covers the six baseline security categories:

• Discovers all assets across the network, and identifies host details including operating system and open services.

• Manages your network by categorizing assets into groups or business units
• Assigns a business value to asset groups based on its importance to your business operations.

• Determines risk profiles based on industry standard ratings.
• Identifies security vulnerabilities on a regular automated schedule.

• Measures the level of business risk associated with your assets according to your organization’s existing security policies.
• Trends overall security posture over time.

• Prioritizes and eliminates vulnerabilities by security risk.

• Verifies the removal of all threats through follow-up audits

CG-VMS is a functional hybrid of Clone Systems’ CG-EVSS and CG-WebScan solutions. How it works is twofold. First, on the infrastructure level, it scans all open network ports, IP addresses, and network-resident operating systems to safeguard all processing and data-handling across your entire network.

Next, CG-VMS scans all applications residing on your enterprise’s web servers, proxy servers, web application servers, as well as all active web services. The scanner crawls your entire website, analyzing each file it finds and displays the entire website structure. It then performs an audit for common web security vulnerabilities by launching a series of Web attacks. Web applications are deconstructed on the code level to reveal potentially malicious code sequences and embedded scripts that could launch an attack.

All testing results and vulnerabilities are reflected in a series of customizable reports, which detail all infrastructure weaknesses, exposure vulnerabilities with web-facing applications, and recommendations for alleviating all security management issues.

The regimen of tests performed is resoundingly complete. The ultimate result is a total, unified security position for your enterprise. Our proactive vulnerability management strategy will forever banish all worries of manual exploits, worms, viruses and Trojans on your network. Our position as a prominent global network security provider depends on it.
