What it is

Tripwire IP360 is vulnerability management software that discovers and profiles network assets, then assesses vulnerability risk. It scans devices and software across on-premises, cloud, and container environments using agent-based and agentless methods, including credentialed scans. Its application-centric fingerprinting selects signatures relevant to device and application types to limit unnecessary interactions. Vulnerabilities are ranked on a 1–50,000 scale using factors such as impact, ease of exploitation, and age. A web interface supports administration, configuration, reporting, and workflow, with granular access controls and user roles. The product provides open APIs and uses open standards; named example integrations include ServiceNow, Splunk Enterprise, LinkShadow, and RedSeal. On-premises deployments use hardened Linux-based virtual or physical appliances, and scanning appliances can be pooled. Tripwire also offers the product as a managed service through ExpertOps. A 30-day evaluation license is listed at free for up to 100 IP addresses, for businesses subject to vendor review. Paid licensing is quote-based.
