Belarc > BelSecure
BelSecure automatically does a vulnerability assessment of the Licensee's IT systems, checks security policies, configuration settings, and discovers other information about the host such as anti-virus status, application versions, security patches, user accounts and more. The policy settings are automatically compared with consensus benchmarks from the Center for Internet Security (CIS), which allow IT managers to automatically determine the security status of their IT assets in advance of an attack.
Many current threats are not stopped by perimeter security systems such as firewall and anti-virus systems. Setting and monitoring configurations based on consensus benchmarks is a critical step because this is a pro-active way to avoid many successful attacks. The U.S. National Security Agency has found that configuring computers with proper security settings blocks over 90% of the existing threats. (IA Newsletters "Security Benchmarks: A Gold Standard.")
BelSecure features include the following:
- Automated, daily vulnerability assessment, including all Microsoft OS and Office vulnerabilities, anti-virus status, user account status, and more.
- Web portal architecture. WAN based operation. Single Intranet server and database.
- Automatic comparison with CIS and other benchmarks.
