How Does NeXpose Work ?
NeXpose provides an enterprise-wide view of all vulnerabilities in your IT infrastructure. It automates the assessment function, uncovers system problems and network weaknesses, and provides risk factors for the assets in your organization, allowing immediate action against threats such as hackers, worms, Trojan e-mails, unauthorized data access and policy violations. NeXpose integrates scanning, sophisticated risk assessment, a secure database, artificial intelligence and tactical solutions into an easy to install and manage software package, reducing the time between finding and eliminating critical exposures.
The NeXpose Security Console is a browser-based interface that contains all the administrative functions including the device database, the tickets database, the vulnerability database, and definitions of users and configurations. The NeXpose Security Console handles automatic updates, generates reports and manages the device database scan data about your network devices is stored.
The NeXpose Scanning Engine performs the scanning, threat correlation and vulnerability detection activities. A network can install multiple scanning engines, placing them in the network where scanning should occur, such as outside the firewall, inside the DMZ, or inside the network perimeter. You can include NeXpose Scanning Engine from the Rapid7 Data Center to provide perimeter scanning.
