SecurityMetrics Vulnerability Scanner Catches Business Weaknesses for Over a Decade

OREM, Utah, April 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Detecting over 22,000 vulnerabilities per day, SecurityMetrics has successfully completed the testing phase of the PCI scanning vendor program and recertified as an Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV) for the tenth consecutive year.

SecurityMetrics' award-winning External Vulnerability Scanning services help businesses identify external network weaknesses, such as web server misconfiguration and vulnerable SSL versions, which could allow attackers access to compromise a business network. The company has recently upgraded its web application scanning checks that examine business networks for online app vulnerabilities.

Thorough updates, manual vulnerability verification, and expert analysis of over 6 million scans helps SecurityMetrics' scan engines remain current with both front-page and uncommon vulnerabilities. To assist non-technical customers, vulnerability scan technicians stand by 24/7/365 to help remediate and patch any failing scan results.

"Newsworthy, high-profile vulnerabilities like GHOST and POODLE are just the tip of the iceberg," said SecurityMetrics' Director of Scanning, Nathan Stocks. "Hundreds of thousands of diverse security vulnerabilities put businesses at risk every single day, which is why vulnerability scans should be run regularly."
