Ninety per cent of cyber attacks
exploit known security flaws according to Gartner Research. New
flaws are discovered daily. Web servers, databases, routers, firewalls,
intrusion detection systems, and every other element of an enterprise
system are always at risk. The countless hours that are required
to keep up to date on all of the security issues affecting corporate
IT infrastructures are beyond many organizations' skills and resources.
But the result of not fixing these flaws can be catastrophic. Polar
Cove monitors more than 250 security information sources daily.
We don't want our clients to miss new, or even developing, vulnerabilities.
Polar Cove's vigilance allows us
to apply security discoveries to our clients' specific IT architectures.
This ensures those companies' interior networks, hosts, routers,
operating systems, and servers take timely advantage of the latest
patches and advisories and know about the vulnerabilities that are
being tested or uncovered. Polar Cove's vigilant Vulnerability Management
Services monitor vendors' sites, bug-track lists, discussion sites,
and even hacker chat rooms and newsletters.
In summary, Polar Cove's Vulnerability
Management Service offers the opportunity to fix security flaws
before they do harm.
Vulnerability Management Includes:
- Monitoring security flaws that are specific
to each client's IT infrastructure.
- Tracking over 250 newsgroups, chat rooms,
newsletters, websites, vendor releases, bug-track information,
and other sources to provide security vigilance for clients.
- Analyzing and reporting security development
that may impact on each client with regular, detailed, customized
reports.
- Issuing Polar Cove Priority Alerts as needed,
for example when critical patches, developments, or exploits
are discovered.
- Vulnerability Management provides assurance
of client-specific information about developments, trends, and
the steps to take.
