Security Configuration Assessment is an integral component of Rapid7 Nexpose and is part of a unified platform that identifies and helps remediate security issues such as vulnerabilities, misconfigurations and exposure to malware kits. Unlike other solutions, Nexpose conducts a unified security assessment with a single platform, single asset inventory, single scan and single reporting engine, so there’s no need to run or purchase multiple products.
Nexpose Security Configuration Assessment helps you secure your infrastructure and document compliance of your internal security policies with multiple regulations and meet demands of internal and external auditors.
Visibility: Get a complete view of your assets and security threats
In a rapidly changing IT environment, the first key challenge for any IT or security executive is to obtain better visibility, including visibility into devices and the cloud. With the consumerization of IT obtaining a clear understanding of which assets are on your network is a critical component of your IT and security strategy. Each asset should be governed by a clear policy. These policies are often a combination of industry benchmarks (e.g. FDCC, USGCB and CIS Benchmarks) or by internal best practices.
Nexpose allows you to conduct full security configuration assessments to ensure potential security threats such as misconfigurations are easily identified. You can:
- Automatically discover and inventory your physical and virtual assets into logical categories.
- Identify misconfigurations and policy violations in addition to vulnerabilities and exposure to malware with a single scan.
- Gain real-time view of your assets, regardless of changes that happen, and be aware of assets that come online.
- Detect key security threats and map those back to your mission-critical assets.
Management: Configure your policies to minimize threats
Once Nexpose discovers assets in your environment, it then scans for misconfigurations and vulnerabilities, and prioritizes the threats it has found. Nexpose’s policy dashboard helps security and IT teams to centrally manage all policies, including creating clear plans of the most essential and impactful actions for your environment that will help to reduce your risk profile.
