What is it?
Secutor Prime is the
world's first product to perform automated security
compliance, patch assessment, and remediation using the new security
automation XML files developed by the National
Institute
of Standards
and Technology (NIST), the MITRE
Corporation and other government and industry contributors. Secutor Prime was
recently awarded official SCAP validation by NIST. The
product
supports all Windows content and will support others as
they are released (including Solaris and Red Hat Linux). Secutor
Prime will assess your systems to the new Federal Desktop Core
Configuration (FDCC) requirements. The Free Edition (download it
below) does this for free
for non-commercial use.
Pretty cool, eh? If you wish
to automatically reconfigure your machines to meet the FDCC
requirements or define policy exceptions to the FDCC, you can do that
too using the affordable commercial version of the product.
What's the big deal?
For the first time,
security compliance assessments can be performed automatically using
standards-based and freely distributable content that adheres to the
U.S. Government's Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP).
The days of
proprietary
approximations of standards requirements are numbered. If you are
an organization required to adhere to compliance guidelines or are a
developer of compliance solutions, your future is here.
Why is Secutor Prime so important?
Secutor Prime is
the world's first product to perform compliance, patch, and
vulnerability
assessments and automated remediation using standardized content
from NIST's Information Security
Automation Program (ISAP). Secutor Prime comes in a
full-featured commercial version that includes remediation,
multi-level
remediation undo, data export, reporting, and a variety of other
powerful features. ThreatGuard has also released a Secutor Prime free edition. This version is
free for non-commercial use
and includes all the powerful assessment
capabilities of the commercial version.
Why have you released a free version?
As
the industry leader in
OVAL
and
XCCDF content and
FDCC
product development, ThreatGuard is in a unique position to jumpstart
this
exciting convergence of standards. The Secutor
Prime free edition is
a sophisticated product, representing over thirteen man-years of
proprietary
development by ThreatGuard. We have released this version to
demonstrate the power of standardized content and to help
organizations develop and test that content. Don't let anybody
fool you, the free edition really is FREE (for
non-commercial use). If you
really like it,
we hope you buy Secutor Prime Professional or
Secutor Magnus for
your enterprise (think agentless or agent-based enterprise FDCC
assessments using SCAP content with your own policy deviations).
