2013: New release

On October 7, 2013 Outpost24 company announced a number of changes and improvements in solutions of a line Outpost24.

Key changes

• Solutions of the company for scanning and management of vulnerabilities are improved, in particular:

• two-factor authentication,
• filtering and ranging on the basis of IP ranges

these innovations will allow to protect an information system of the company reliably.

• Reports are updated and optimized: now data on vulnerabilities are clear to managers who do not need the excess technical information.

All reports are issued in uniform style of three options: Management Summary, Summary and Detailed (Brief summary, Overview and "Detailed report").

The new release of products allows users of the solutions HIAB and OUTSCAN to add and control systems which are not scanned actively. Thus, now in addition to visualization of segments of networks which are actively scanned within the license agreement clients can visualize and those areas which are not scanned. The limited scanning volume for detection of information resources is increased 10-multiply by one license of the product OUTSCAN and not limited for HIAB. Increase in admissible volume of scanning will regularly allow to execute scanning for the purpose of search of information resources of network and to gain complete idea of internal and external systems on which the current management programs for vulnerabilities do not act. For the purpose of increase in level of information security and also for compliance to requirements of regulators, in the products OUTSCAN and HIAB the technology of two-factor authentication on the basis of the SMS was implemented. Now at authorization to the user it is necessary not only to enter the permanent password, but also the one-time code sent to its mobile phone. In order that users had flexible opportunities of viewing information, Outpost24 added filtering of IP ranges to the user interface. Such filtering can be used for a quick selection of resources in network; also it lays the foundation of effective dynamic groups of resources. Using preset tuning of filters the new hosts detected in the network range can be automatically sorted to correspond to structure of the organization of assets in a management system. It is possible to manage flexibly an IP address space, using CIDR addressing. Information on the known vulnerabilities is available in reports of both products now - OUTSCAN and HIAB. The set of sources for information extraction about the known vulnerabilities and available exploits is investigated, the found information joins in reports. Also It should be noted that Outpost24 company carried out rebranding - the updated brand reflects improvements and new qualities which the company introduces in all fields of the business in process of advance.
