Using SAINT to Support IT Change Management – Critical Security Control for Continuous Vulnerability Assessment and Remediation

SAINT is invaluable in identifying weakness and providing details for analysis in that process, as well as initiating remediation for noted weaknesses. SAINT ensures that the change management process is effective in identifying issues by ensuring that weaknesses are corrected and validated prior to their deployment into production."

Had SAINT not been used for assessments, the work would take a significant number of man-hours. SAINT often enables our technical staff the ability to provide an initial assessment in less than an hour, sometimes within minutes, of SAINT completing its scan."

— Steven Narro, IT Phenoms, Inc.

The University of Texas at Austin Information Security Office is using SAINTmanager to protect sensitive data on their network.

"Using a centralized authentication and authorization mechanism, technical staff members have the ability to log into the SAINTmanager system and scan only the networks for which they are responsible.

Feedback from the technical staff on campus has been positive, and several groups regularly scan their networks for vulnerabilities using scheduled scans.  The ISO uses the SAINT system as its primary network vulnerability tool for risk assessments, PCI compliance assessments, system profiling, and network-wide vulnerability sweeps."

MCPS found that the SAINT vulnerability scanner reduces network vulnerabilities and risks; and also reduces cost.

"In FY 2006, MCPS purchased the SAINT scanner at an estimated cost savings of $39,000 and an ongoing yearly maintenance cost savings of $20,000. SAINT dramatically improves MCPS security by increasing identification of and eliminating known vulnerabilities and potential security risks through the ability to conduct frequent scans."
