BeyondTrust offers vulnerability management via Network Security Scanner, powered by Retina. This technology was developed by eEye, before that company's acquisition by BeyondTrust in 2012.

CrowdStrike offers the Falcon Endpoint Protection suite, an antivirus and endpoint protection system emphasizing threat detection, machine learning malware detection, and signature free updating. Additionally the available Falcon Spotlight module delivers vulnerability assessment with no performance impact, no additional agents, hardware, scheduled scans, firewall exceptions or admin credentials.

BeyondTrust Network Security Scanner, powered by Retina (Legacy)

Vulnerability Management Software scans discovered IT assets for known vulnerabilities, i.e. configurations and setups that are open to security threats and malware. To make these scans effective, vulnerability management suites and platforms often must operate in tandem with a security or threat intelligence platform, a repository of ever-expanding known threats.

Vulnerability Management Tools

Tools that focus on locating, identifying, and prioritizing vulnerabilities in a network that need to be patched.

IT Asset Realization

Scans a network to identify hardware and software assets on the network.

Authentication

Authentication of users and services within a network to prevent vulnerabilities from being introduced to the network.

Configuration Monitoring

Constant monitoring of a network set up to identify vulnerabilities as they occur within the network or tech stack on the network.

Web Scanning

Specifically scans webpages for potential threats or vulnerabilities.

Vulnerability Intelligence

Software that is able to label and store information about vulnerabilities to access for future use cases.

Threat Intelligence

Features for categories that leverage threat intelligence in network security

Network Analytics

Analyzes various data reports and logs (DNS, firewall, user data, security information etc.) to identify threats in a network.

Vulnerability Classification

Prioritizing vulnerabilities, to determine which vulnerabilities are most urgent and require a quicker resolution.

Automated Alerts and Reporting

Systems in place to automatically alert, report, or notify of issues that may need timely remediation.

Threat Analysis

Analyzing known factors such as behavior patterns, affected areas, and other specific features to more easily identify a threat.

Threat Intelligence Reporting

Generates reports that display information on threats (such as name, type, frequency of attack, area affected, etc.)

Automated Threat Identification

Leveraging multiple sources of information (such as threat intelligence databases) to automatically identify threats.

Threat Recognition

Detection and recognition of malicious software within a network that could pose a threat to sensitive information.

We are utilizing Retina Network Security Scanner to perform internal penetration tests and vulnerability testing. We have a relatively small infrastructure, but because we must maintain NIST 800-171 compliance, we need to perform testing within their guidelines. Retina NSS (Network Security Scanner) is utilized by our senior network administrator on a monthly basis and we compare Retina NSS results to the results we receive via our SIEM. The main business problem the Retina NSS targets is the need for vulnerability scanning as well as basic internal penetration testing.

Besides the fact that Retina NSS performs the fundamental task of scanning all my network devices, one of the main strengths is the speed at which it scans. Time is money and I know people tent to wear that cliché out a bit, but when you are as small as we are of a team, every minute counts.
We have utilized other network security scanners over the past 21 years and Retina NSS seems to have the smallest footprint with no evidence of scanning degrading performance of the devices scanned.
They seem to update their database frequently enough that we notice a correlation of threats to discovery.
There is a small learning curve, but overall, a seasoned IT professional can quickly get up and running in a few hours and get usable results quickly. This falls back on the speed at which Retina NSS scans. My previous network security scanners would sometimes take hours to complete a full vulnerability scan of between 250 - 400 devices, now it only takes a fraction of that time.

I do not have any obvious cons to report at this time.

The product is extremely easy to deploy, extremely positive.
If you take full advantage of this product as I did, you will maximize your ROI quickly as we did.
We were able to visualize our vulnerabilities efficiently and effectively and maintain scheduled scans that allowed us to maintain a continuous improvement atmosphere while securing our investments.
The ability provide reporting allows our IT department to prioritize issues and remediate as required without chasing down low risk issues over high risk issues that need immediate attention.
