Due to the vast number of software installations on various platforms, it is impossible for Information Security departments to keep up-to-date with the latest software vulnerabilities. The Secunia VIM sends relevant, real-time security alerts to each software administrator so that they are only alerted to threats to their specific system. This prevents information overload and ensures that nothing is forgotten in the daily work load. Management has full control over the vulnerability management workflow and is able to create scheduled reports.

Relying on numerous ad hoc sources to maintain network security and endpoint security is risky and unreliable. The Secunia VIM consolidates these vulnerability management challenges into one simplified process: immediate alerts, rapid handling of threats, and easy setup. It also interacts seamlessly with other security management tools, thereby enhancing operational efficiency.
Global IT departments and security teams lean on the Secunia VIM’s "accurate, up-to-date vulnerability intelligence"* so that they can make the right business decisions and take pre-emptive action against potential security breaches. It acts as their early warning system.

Unified access to vulnerability intelligence and vulnerability management from one integrated tool helps you cut costs and drive operational efficiencies.

A single user-friendly and customisable dashboard interface gives you one-click access to important information and tasks, such as: Latest Advisories, Secunia Blog, Secunia Forum, Open Tickets etc.

Coverage of around 40,000 systems and applications ensures access to the most comprehensive vulnerability intelligence to handle emerging and historic threats.
Multiple accounts capability, supporting a hierarchy of organisational units, regions, segments and locations - so that you can update continuously relevant staff on current and emerging threats.

Gives you an overview of all advisories on new vulnerability threats, independent of your registered devices, thus ensuring that you have dealt with all the reported vulnerabilities.

Facilitates tracking and documentation of all advisories handled, thus giving you the ability to keep remediation best practices.
The Secunia VIM includes Proof-of-Concept (PoC) for a number of vulnerabilities. The clean and to the point Secunia PoCs can help determine if installations are vulnerable and if active protections are sufficient.
The Technical Analysis of selected vulnerabilities will help the security team understand how to built alternative mitigation strategies and get a better understanding of the prerequisites for criminals to carry out an attack.
The alternative remediation will help security teams countering the threat from vulnerabilities for which patches can't be deployed. The alternative remediation may contain suggestions for change of network rules and system configurations.
The Secunia VIM helps you setup filtering criteria according to the product categories in your entire IT infrastructure, triggering only relevant vulnerability intelligence on threats.
Administrators can add comments or recommendations to Advisories before dispatching them out to local IT staff, thus helping them handle threats in a uniform and controlled manner.

Personalised alerts via SMS, Secunia Advisories via email, and Vulnerability Intelligence Feeds via XML widens the range of choices to obtain threat intelligence.
