Cyberwatch Vulnerability Manager
Cyberwatch Vulnerability Manager provides ongoing discovery, prioritization, and remediation for an organization's IT infrastructure. It detects issues in servers, workstations, network equipment, websites, and Docker images. Scans can run with or without an agent, including disconnected scans for sensitive environments. Its scanning engine covers more than 70,000 technologies. Cyberscore prioritizes findings using CVSS v3.1 environmental and temporal criteria, exploit information, and configured business goals and thresholds. Customizable dashboards and editable report templates present results. A native patch module deploys updates to Linux and Windows and recognizes WSUS and package repositories. Integrations include CMDB, LDAP, Active Directory, OpenStack, VMware, AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform. The REST API is documented in French and English, with Python, Bash, and PowerShell clients. Cyberwatch says deployment can remain in customer-controlled local or cloud infrastructure and scan results stay inside. Pricing is on request.
