In the context of increasingly complex enterprise network infrastructures, proactively controlling weaknesses before they are exploited by hackers is a top priority. Fortra Vulnerability Management (Fortra VM) – a solution within the Risk-based Vulnerability Management (Risk-based VM) category – is designed to automate the entire cyber security discovery and assessment process. Operating flexibly on cloud (SaaS) and On-Premises platforms with absolute security, Fortra VM helps enterprises precisely locate all IP-connected digital assets, continuously scanning for system vulnerabilities with outstanding accuracy and a proven false positive rate of less than 1%.
Core Features
-
Automated asset mapping (Network Mapping): The system automatically scans, identifies, and classifies all hardware, software, mobile devices, or virtual machines connecting to the enterprise network, completely eliminating security blind spots.
-
Intelligent risk assessment (Active Risk Score): Instead of relying solely on theoretical severity scores (CVSS), Fortra VM utilizes real-world threat intelligence to calculate dynamic risk scores. This feature helps enterprises know exactly which vulnerabilities are actively being targeted by hackers in the wild to prioritize remediation.
-
Cybersecurity health rating with Security GPA®: This exclusive feature translates complex technical data into an intuitive score (similar to an academic GPA). As a result, executive management and security teams can easily track the organization’s security posture trends over time.
-
CIS-compliant secure configuration scanning: Beyond searching for security flaws, the tool scans and benchmarks system configurations against the Center for Internet Security (CIS) standards, ensuring that devices are securely configured from the start.
Compliance and Operational Capabilities for Enterprises
The Fortra VM solution serves as an effective assistant, helping enterprises easily pass security audits through its automated reporting system, which fully complies with stringent international standards such as PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOX, and GDPR. By reducing false alerts and providing clear remediation guidance for each vulnerability, the solution optimizes the workflow of SecOps teams, minimizing the window of exposure to potential cyberattacks.
