About Software Vulnerability Research

Vulnerability Intelligence and Patch Management are critical components of any security infrastructure because it enables proactive detection and remediation of vulnerabilities before they are actively exploited and your security compromised. With Software Vulnerability Research, IT Operations and Security Teams are empowered to take control of the Vulnerability Threat from both Microsoft and non-Microsoft (third-party) product vulnerabilities.

The Software Vulnerability Research Assessment module scanning technology takes a different approach than other vulnerability scanning solutions by conducting non-intrusive scans to accurately identify all installed products and plugins on the system.

Software Vulnerability Research integrates seamlessly with Microsoft® WSUS and System Center Configuration Manager.

The solution is available via a web-portal, giving you access to all the modules that you are entitled to use according to your subscription.

The sequence of the module descriptions in this document corresponds with the order in which they are presented in the graphical user interface of the solution.

Note:The available modules, menus and options will vary depending on the permissions granted to you by your Administrator.
