Internet Scanner provides three key types of information: Risk Prediction - What is the current state of a network? What security failures are likely or in process? Risk Quantification - What failures will cause the most harm? How can damage be managed and reduced? Risk Management - Are security policy objectives being met? Is the risk to the organisation increasing or decreasing over time?
