Symantec NetRecon helps secure an organization's networks by exposing
vulnerabilities before intruders can exploit them and attack. By
automatically scanning systems and services on the network and safely
simulating common intrusion or attack scenarios, NetRecon answers the
question: "What can a hacker see, use, and exploit on the network?"
NetRecon goes beyond just discovering security vulnerabilities to
provide a systematic understanding of their causes. It utilizes a
unique root-cause and path-analysis engine to illustrate the
exact sequence of steps taken to uncover vulnerabilities, enabling
administrators to identify exactly where to correct vulnerabilities
in order to enforce corporate security policies.
NetRecon also learns about the network as it scans, adapting the
penetration strategy based on previous results. Its patent-pending,
progressive scanning technology gathers information and shares it
between components. So, for instance, if NetRecon cracks a password
on one system, the password is then tried on others, resulting in a
more thorough assessment and a deeper discovery of weaknesses.
Frequent security updates via Symantec LiveUpdate provide even more
protection with the latest vulnerability signatures and alerts.
