“Security and compliance requires specialized expertise, and it makes more sense to outsource that so my staff can stay focused on the core business objectives.... Counterpane can survey all the potential threats worldwide. They can provide a much wider, more current view of the threats. That's something we can't do as efficiently, given our current staff levels.”

Managed Vulnerability Scanning

Powered by BT Counterpane

Enterprise and government IT organizations are continually updating systems, granting access to users, and installing new, increasingly complex applications and services. Most new network modifications increase infrastructure complexity -- and complexity is the enemy of security. Many global enterprises find it difficult to keep up with the constantly changing array of vendor and IT exploits.

Why BT's Vulnerability Scanning?

BT's Vulnerability Scanning (MVS) services enable organizations with large distributed networks to consolidate management of vulnerability scanning, from discovery to real-time reporting to managed security monitoring reports. Certified by MasterCard's Site Data Protection (SDP) compliance program, MVS complements and enhances our Managed Security Monitoring by correlating known vulnerabilities against real-time monitoring alerts. Internal and external scans can be delivered on demand, or at weekly and monthly intervals. A MasterCard and Visa compliance option provides quarterly scans repeated to accommodate critical fixes required by both SDP and Visa's Cardholder Information Protection quarterly audit procedures.
