Unisys will offer SecureScan to clients on a subscription basis, enabling proactive risk mitigation through ongoing vulnerability testing.
“Frequent assessment and remediation of vulnerabilities are essential to organizations seeking to minimize their business risks. VIGILANTe’s proven assessment technology combined with Unisys’ exceptional network security expertise will enable Unisys clients to achieve and maintain high levels of security,” said Eric Fullerton, president and chief executive officer of VIGILANTe.
SecureScan tests network security perimeters and other assets accessible through the Internet.
