Mandiant Advantage Security Validation vs. Nikto

Mandiant Advantage Security Validation, designed by Mandiant company, can automate a testing program to give us authetic and real world data on how our security controls are effectively working / performing. This solution provides trusted evidence on how well our security controls work against threats targeting our organization. This enables security teams to emulate real attack behaviors against security controls authentically throughout the attack lifecycle and the entire security stack.

Nikto is well suited for scanning web server-related vulnerabilities for small and medium enterprises. We can utilise it for checking server default files and security misconfigurations. It is not suited well for some users because it is CLI based tool and not a GUI based. Also, community and OEM support are not available for this tool.

Mandiant is focused on a clear view of the environment, vulnerabilities, and threats. Palo Alto is a great tool for some of this, but was not mature enough at the time of our initial eval. The new version of Palo Alto looks much more robust and capable and we will definitely re-evaluate it before renewal with Mandiant. If you already have Palo in your environment, it's an even more compelling case.
