InsightIDR is still providing value years after implementation.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

When I arrived at my org vulnerability management was done ad hoc using an inexpensive NESSUS license. But this didn't provide results in a good manageable format. The idea was to be able to automate regular scanning and present the results in a format that would allow responsible asset owners to see the status of their systems and insofar as possible make it a self-service experience, taking as much burden off the security team as possible. InsightIDR has made this possible, and gone further through our use of the agent for detailed on device results.

Pros

  • Scanning
  • Vulnerability context
  • Multi-user/group usage

Cons

  • Allowing group owners to scan assets
  • There is an occasional false positive

Most Important Features

  • Vulnerability scanning
  • Agent scanning
  • Robust permissions

Return on Investment

  • Identified vulnerabilities before they were exploited and became catastrophes
  • Allows us to meet compliance goals
