Syxsense, a global leader in IT and security management solutions, announced the availability of its vulnerability solutions database for the public online. The database was previously only available to Syxsense Secure customers within the console.
Unlike operating system and third-party application patch management, which typically involves the deployment of a patch, computer vulnerabilities can be far more challenging to resolve. These are typically identified within a vulnerability scan. These vulnerabilities can be quite challenging to find let alone resolve, as many require configuration of the Windows operating system through technologies such as Windows Powershell.
