Comprehensive network vulnerability management for your network infrastructure

Stay at the forefront of cybersecurity challenges with Network Configuration Manager's cutting-edge vulnerability detection module. With daily updates sourced from the National Vulnerability Database (NVD) and direct feeds from vendors, our system guarantees that your defense mechanisms are always up-to-date with the latest threat intelligence. Also, acquire insights into devices’ vulnerability, exposed devices, and version distribution. This comprehensive overview of vulnerability details strengthens the resilience and integrity of your network.

Safeguard firmware integrity: NCM's workflow for vulnerability detection

Explore advanced network vulnerability scanning capabilities

Severity levels

Effortlessly access CVE details along with severity ratings ranging from Critical to Low, facilitating effective prioritization of fixes.

Advanced CVE Search

Look up any CVEs in the search option using the CVE ID and promptly obtain comprehensive details about a specific vulnerability.

Time-based vulnerability

Choose a timeframe during which vulnerabilities were identified. You can either select from the provided range or specify a custom range of your preference. The vulnerabilities detected within this chosen period will be displayed.

Base Score System

Leverage our foundational scoring system to quantify the impact of every vulnerability, assisting you in assessing the urgency of each threat.

Vulnerability Counters

Stay updated with counters indicating the total number of vulnerabilities, critical vulnerabilities, and exploitable weaknesses.

Custom vulnerability update

If you discover any vulnerabilities that are not listed, you have the option to request an update on vulnerability data from the engineering team.

Custom CVE Management

Categorize CVEs based on their status, ranging from 'Not Applicable' to 'Resolved,' streamlining the remediation process for enhanced efficiency.

Vulnerability Report

NCM scans network for vulnerabilities and provides comprehensive reports on impacted CVEs, covering device count, severity, attack type, overview, and reference URLs.

Device Counters

This is similar to vulnerability counters, but the distinction lies in its device specificity, including information on affected devices, device versions, and more.

Vulnerability DB sync

Synchronization of firmware vulnerability data from NIST and other vendors to the Network Configuration Manager's database is facilitated by allowing users to schedule regular syncing. Users have the flexibility to set a specific time for the daily synchronization. Once a schedule is established, the vulnerability data is automatically synchronized at the specified time. Network Configuration Manager also provides the option to edit or change the scheduled time to align with user preferences.

If your network is isolated, automatic updates of the vulnerability database through firmware vulnerability scanning with data from NIST vulnerability management may not be possible. In such instances, opting for a manual import of vulnerability data is recommended. For more details, visit this page.
