    It works well when interfacing with Qualys VM QualysGuard to highlight server vulnerabilities, providing details on the affected packages and programs, along with solutions and links to the provider's websites, so our servers can be kept safe by quickly addressing issues. Because vulnerability scores are assigned, we can prioritize which servers to address first.

    We run a flavor of multiple products and CVM enhances/complements those tools by pinpointing where the vulnerabilities are at on our network. Intune and Automox being products CVM works well with when its time to patch affected systems. Tenable we used prior to CVM and its product was too complex and clunky and always had issues with asset duplication. CVM simplified vulnerability scanning and made it a lot easier to manage compared to Tenable

    • Automation plays a role in saving time by streamlining operations related to attack surface management. These include automated asset discovery, vulnerability scanning and continuous monitoring of threat intelligence. As a result security teams can allocate their efforts towards projects such as security planning and incident response.
    • ASM provides a view of the external attack surface, for businesses encompassing internet facing assets, cloud resources and third party vendors. This enhances the understanding of assets enabling organizations to identify and prioritize risks effectively and make decisions on security investments
