A very useful tool in vulnerability process assessment, at a very affordable cost
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Titania Nipper is used in our organization to scan the network of clients, more precisely the routers that comprise those networks. The results of the scans are used to analyze the vulnerabilities and possible threats for our clients and also prepare a detailed report in order to proceed further to an action plan of mitigation in order to stay secure.
Pros
- Easy to use tool, with a low impact in network traffic.
- Support from the vendor (for any enquiries or problems).
- Quick in creating the reports that we need.
- Licensing costs are low in comparison to other solution/vendors.
Cons
- Not very clear what security standards are used during the audit.
- Room for improvement for more OS support.
- Needs to add more firewall support, like for NextGen FTD firewall.
Likelihood to Recommend
The tool Titania Nipper is used as a way to improve compliance and risk management, reduce time to market and also provide our customers the needed insight about the possible threats to their network and firewalls. The tool itself we use in conjunction with others, so I can't recommend using only Nipper if a more wide view is needed in terms of vulnerability assessment.
