InsightVM

Who Uses InsightVM?

InsightVM is essential for organizations that need a scalable, efficient, and modern approach to security risk management:

• Security Teams (Analysts & Engineers): To proactively identify, prioritize, and track the remediation of vulnerabilities across dynamic networks.
• IT Operations and Administrators: Utilizing the platform's remediation projects and ticketing integration to efficiently implement patches and configuration fixes.
• Compliance Managers: To automate assessments and reporting against major industry standards (PCI DSS, HIPAA, CIS Benchmarks).
• CISOs and Security Leadership: Leveraging the Live Dashboards and Active Risk Score to understand the organization's current and trending security posture. 

Why Choose InsightVM?

Choose InsightVM because it shifts the focus from chasing every vulnerability to prioritizing the real risk that matters. It replaces the outdated CVSS-only scoring with a dynamic Active Risk Score, which is enriched with proprietary threat intelligence and attacker behavior analytics. This AI-driven prioritization ensures your teams focus remediation efforts on the few vulnerabilities most likely to be exploited in the wild, dramatically reducing your actual attack surface faster.

What are the Benefits of InsightVM?

The platform delivers measurable improvements in security efficacy and operational efficiency:

1. Attacker-Aware Risk Prioritization: Uses machine learning and integrated threat feeds to assign a dynamic score, guiding teams to fix vulnerabilities based on exploitability, not just severity.
2. Continuous & Complete Visibility: Uses a hybrid approach, combining traditional scanning with a lightweight Insight Agent for continuous data collection from endpoints (even remote or offline ones).
3. Streamlined Remediation Workflow: Bridges the gap between security and IT with integrated Remediation Projects, allowing security teams to assign, track, and measure fixes directly within the platform.
4. Compliance with Confidence: Offers pre-built, automated templates for compliance audits and generates customizable reports to simplify regulatory adherence.
5. Multi-Cloud and Hybrid Support: Assesses and manages the risk of assets deployed in any environment—on-premise, cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP), virtual, and containers.

What are the Features of InsightVM?

Key technical features that enable comprehensive vulnerability management:

1. Active Risk Score: A dynamic, 1-1000 scale score that prioritizes risk based on threat context, malware, and exploit likelihood.
2. Live Dashboards: Real-time visibility into security posture, trending risk, and remediation progress, customizable for various stakeholders.
3. Comprehensive Scanning: Supports agentless scanning, agent-based scanning via the Insight Agent, and active monitoring with Project Sonar for external attack surface awareness.
4. IT-Integrated Remediation Projects: Centralized project management for assigning fix tickets directly to IT teams and tracking their progress against SLAs.
5. Security Console: The web-based interface for centralized control, InsightVM login access, scan creation, asset tagging, and reporting.
6. Extensible API: A robust RESTful API allows for seamless integration with other security solutions (like SIEM and ticketing systems) for automation. 

How to Use InsightVM?

InsightVM is managed via the Security Console, a web-based interface:

1. Deployment: Install the Security Console (the control center) and deploy one or more Scan Engines (the workers) within your environment.
2. Asset Discovery: Configure sites and use a combination of network scanning and the Insight Agent to discover all assets (physical, virtual, cloud) and create a comprehensive inventory.
3. Scanning: Select a scan template (e.g., Full Audit, Policy Compliance) and schedule scans to run automatically, or use the Agent for continuous monitoring.
4. Prioritization & Action: View the Live Dashboard, analyze the Active Risk Scores, create Remediation Projects, and assign the highest-priority tasks to IT teams.
