WESTMINSTER, Colo., April 3, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Coalfire, a trusted provider of cybersecurity advisory and assessment services, announced today the availability of their new platform for CoalfireOne Scanning Services, CoalfireOne Scans.

"For ASV customers, Coalfire's updated scanning platform will provide the fastest route to true ASV compliance for both internal and external scans, potentially saving days of work each quarter. Paired with existing best-in-class customer support and a mature vulnerability detection back end, Coalfire's new scanning platform will be the preferred choice for PCI, healthcare and general security scanning needs."

Over the past year, Coalfire completed extensive customer research and spent many months reviewing customer suggestions to arrive at this current platform to meet customer needs. The tool includes a sleek user interface that features:

Projects vs. Accounts: This feature offers the ability to scan multiple environments and run concurrent scheduled scans in a single pane of glass, with ease.
