Before you can secure a network, you have to know how it's threatened. SAINT, or the Security Administrator's Integrated Network Tool, uncovers areas of weakness and recommends fixes. With SAINT™ vulnerability assessment tool, you can:

Detect and fix possible weaknesses in your network’s security before they can be exploited by intruders.

Anticipate & prevent common system vulnerabilities.

Demonstrate compliance with current data privacy regulations such as GLBA, HIPAA, and COPPA.

The SAINT™ scanning engine is the ideal cornerstone for your vulnerability assessment program. SAINT™, features a graphical user interface that is intuitive and easy to use.

SAINT's Features:

SAINTwriter™ software allows network administrators to design and generate vulnerability assessment reports quickly and easily. Customers can present the findings of even the largest network scans in an easy-to-read format.

New threats to your networks can emerge in an instant. That's why there's SAINTexpress®, which provides complete, automatic updates to SAINT™ whenever a scan is run.

SAINTwriter™ software allows network administrators to design and generate vulnerability assessment reports quickly and easily. Customers can present the findings of even the largest network scans in an easy-to-read format. This allows managers to see the big picture instantly and helps administrators obtain detailed information for their security plans.

SAINTwriter™ generates custom reports of a SAINT™ scan’s findings using charts, tables and graphs. More than 100 configuration options allow administrators to pinpoint the information they need and present it in the format they want, whether they’re briefing company executives or working with technical staff. In addition, SAINTwriter™ offers seven pre-configured reports to make the process quick and
easy, saving hours of employee time.

What’s more, SAINTwriter™ reports are exportable. Customers can transfer scan findings and tables to spreadsheets and other applications, making it simple to distribute results throughout your organization.

Trend analysis capabilities make SAINTwriter™ an integral part of any organization’s ongoing security maintenance plan. SAINTwriter™ reads multiple sets of scan results from different points in time and analyzes the results together. The result is a long-term perspective on your security program’s improvements and weaknesses.

SAINTwriter™ also can export data to RiskWatch™, a risk-management software program. This enhancement is part of the strategic partnership SAINT Corporation has launched with RiskWatch Inc.

New threats to your networks can emerge in an instant. That’s why there’s SAINTexpress®, which provides complete, automatic updates to SAINT™ whenever a scan is run.

SAINT™ is updated every two weeks, or more often if necessary to address a critical vulnerability announcement—often within 24 hours of the announcement. Developers also continuously provide operational enhancements to keep SAINT™ on the forefront of security assessment. SAINTexpress® installs these updates and enhancements without requiring custome

Place the SAINTexpress® plug-in directly in your SAINT™ directory. Every time SAINT™ runs, it checks the SAINT™ corporate Web site for any updates. If updates are present, SAINTexpress® installs them and SAINT™ continues to run as usual.

Experts praise the SAINT vulnerability scanner because it pinpoints security risks accurately and comprehensively, yet it's simple to use. The SAINT vulnerability scanner is the first step in detecting network vulnerabilities. Here's how the SAINT vulnerability scanner works:

SAINT™ screens every live system on a network for TCP and UDP services (step 1). For each service it finds running, it launches a set of probes designed to detect anything that could allow an attacker to gain unauthorized access, create a denial-of-service, or gain sensitive information about the network (step 2).

When vulnerabilities are detected (step 3), SAINT vulnerability scanner categorizes the results in several ways, allowing customers to target the data they find most useful (step 4). SAINT™ can group vulnerabilities according to severity, type, or count. It also can provide information about a particular host or group of hosts. SAINT™ describes each of the vulnerabilities it locates, references Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures (CVE), CERT advisories, and IAVA (Information Assurance Vulnerability Alerts) and describes ways to correct the vulnerabilities. In many cases, SAINT vulnerability scanner provides links where you can download patches or new versions of software that will eliminate the detected vulnerabilities.
