With well over 500 cards, it’s high time to create a tool with powerful filtering and attractive visualization to explore the cards in an interesting fashion that works both on desktops and tablets.

Unified VRM has the right features for full integration. Unified VRM was already compatible with MS Active Directory authentication. The great news is that now this authentication can happen without having the organization opening any firewall ports via our internal network appliance placed into the organization’s internal network.

Most of our customers’ security analysts are called on a monthly basis (or more often) to deliver a presentation of the vulnerability management risks the organization is facing and the actions the security department is taking to remediate those risks. What I am referring to here are identified vulnerabilities that represent a great risk and threat for the organization and the patching / re-configuration strategy the organization is planning to put in place.
