Each security risk is prioritized by System Scanner based on its relative severity. Once a system has been secured, System Scanner locks down that system's configuration with a digital fingerprint, making it easier to detect unauthorized tampering. System Scanner agents are available for Windows NT and many popular UNIX platforms. |
