Abstract
Vulnerability Assessment Products (VA products) identify the devices that
exist on an enterprise' s network, and then cross-reference those devices with
the network' s configurations, patch levels, operating systems, and
applications in order to isolate vulnerabilities that could be exploited by
hackers. Finally, the scope of this research excludes penetration testing
services and application security products. VA products can be network-based
or host-based, and agent-based or agent-less.
