Jisc's Vulnerability assessment and information service

In my post last month reviewing the security sessions at Networkshop44 I mentioned that there would be an announcement coming soon about a new Vulnerability Assessment and Information Service.

Vulnerability assessment and information service – announcement coming soon! But in the meantime, this presentation from Dirk Schrader from Greenbone was well received on Day 3:http://www.slideshare.net/JISC/greenbone-vulnerability-assessment-networkshop44

I am pleased to say that this service is now live and we can now provide the following services via a framework agreement with Khipu Networks:

• Vulnerability assessment: provides automated, predetermined security vulnerability assessments of your IT assets
• Vulnerability management: produces reports which verify IT assets against new vulnerabilities and provide measurable information on improved IT security
• Vulnerability information: keeps track of announcements, vulnerabilities and patches in your IT infrastructure. 

More information, including details of how to purchase these services, can be found at https://www.jisc.ac.uk/vulnerability-assessment-and-information-service
