Because Remediation Manager offers support for third party vulnerability assessment scanners, you protect your IT investments.
Remediation Manager addresses all of the major vulnerabilities: software defects, unsecured accounts, unnecessary services, misconfigurations, and backdoors. Our library of more than 25,000 tested vulnerability remedies covers all five types. And Remediation Manager stays up to date on the latest vulnerabilities.
