Vulnerability Intelligence - Customer Testimonials

"Secunia has for the last 10 years been a part of LO's security strategy where patch management plays a significant role. Secunia tools to manage alerts and safety warnings are still unique on the market and very simple to use."

- Uffe Munk Hansen

"Bankart's approach to strengthening IT security involved addressing the question about how to best deal with exposure to vulnerabilities for which patches from vendors do not yet exist. Information is available from different resources, but there is still a problem from a management perspective; for example, what were the actual vulnerabilities in a specific period of time? Did we successfully handle all of them? We were searching for a centralised solution that would provide not only the necessary intelligence about how to deal with vulnerabilities, but would also simplify the process involved.

Bankart found that the Secunia VIM is the right product for us as it is designed to meet our vulnerability intelligence and management needs. It provides crucial real-time intelligence and good coverage for products/vendors, and is very easy to manage and set up – no additional hardware was needed. All of our expectations were covered. Its design interface is very well designed and there is good risk evaluation for every new vulnerability, therefore managing this information and generating reports is really easy. I would recommend the Secunia VIM for any environment where information security is critical. "

"The vulnerability research service provided by Secunia is very extensive and the coverage of software is making our processes more efficient. Especially the possibility to restrain the flood of information to only the software we use speeds up our vulnerability management process.

We are using the information on security vulnerabilities to assess potential threats to our systems and to define measures that need to be taken to limit potential risks. Secunia's services have proven to be particularly valuable to us."

"Commerzbank is the second largest credit institution in Germany, and one of Europe's major banks. With the merging of Dresdner Bank into Commerzbank in May 2009, Commerzbank is now additionally one of the leading banks for private and corporate customers in Germany. The new Commerzbank has a total of 1,200 branches with around 14,5 million private and corporate customers worldwide.

Commerzbank group's CERT has chosen a long-term subscription to the Secunia Vulnerability Intelligence Feed (VIF) as a meta feed. The undisputed quality of the Secunia feed makes the intelligence actionable across all platforms, regardless of vendors. Such intensive research is currently not provided by the software vendors themselves.

This stream of accurate alerts helps Commerzbank CERT providing timely alerts together with appropriate remedies and mitigations to our customers worldwide. Commerzbank's collaboration with Secunia has proved to be an efficient and cost-effective service over time."

"Secunia has been assisting the Bundesbank in vulnerability management for quite a while by providing information on security vulnerabilities in infrastructure components and standardised applications, assessing potential damage, and indicating what measures can be taken to limit potential IT risks.

Thanks to the high quality of the information provided and the rapid and extremely service-oriented response to our queries as well as suggested improvements, Secunia's services have proven to be particularly valuable to the Bundesbank.

Deutsche Bundesbank also welcomes the intention of Secunia, to show their customers the potential risk of vulnerabilities."

"The Enterprise Vulnerability Manager - Server Edition gives us all the information we need on software that we have, without us having to look for and monitor vulnerabilities ourselves. And because our company needs to be PCI-compliant due to the nature of our industry, our vulnerability management needs are supported by the EVM-S. It gives us a highly organised way to maintain our company's compliance, while actually being an effective management tool."
