Security analyzers target vulnerabilities

摘要

Protocol abuse targets vulnerabilities in many types of devices and applications, from firewalls, VoIP controllers and VPN gateways to intrusion-prevention systems and other perimeter defense. Despite the considerable investments made in security infrastructure, many vulnerabilities remain undetected. To alleviate protocol abuse, a new class of product — the security analyzer — can help IT departments assess the security of IP-based products, service or applications. A security analyzer utilizes a rigorous process, complete with an audit trail and remediation scripts, to find and fix vulnerabilities before deploying systems and software into production networks.
