Keep Your Organization Protected

Customers of Syxsense Manage and Syxsense Secure can find these updates within the console.

Syxsense allows you to manage and secure vulnerabilities exposed by open ports, disabled firewalls, ineffective user account policies, and security compliance violations from remote workers.

Detecting software vulnerabilities isn’t enough—traditional security scanners only do half the job by identifying and tracking possible vulnerabilities and exposure without eliminating the risk.

With security scanning and patch management in a single console, our vulnerability scanning feature not only shows you what’s wrong, but also deploys the solution. Gain visibility into OS and third-party vulnerabilities while increasing cyber resilience through automated patching and security scans.
