Core Impact Adds Integrations for Fortra VM and beSECURE

Core Security’s comprehensive penetration testing tool, Core Impact, can now import data from two additional vulnerability scanners: Fortra VM (formerly Frontline VM) and beSECURE. Both vulnerability assessment and management solutions were recently acquired by Fortra to establish a comprehensive security assessment toolkit. By adding integration with these solutions, Core Impact can further support organizations looking to streamline their security assessments.

Enhancing Vulnerability Management with Pen Testing

Vulnerability management solutions are essential tools that identify network security vulnerabilities and prioritize and manage their remediation. Some vulnerability management solutions also provide risk context, such as exploitability and asset criticality information, to help enhance and personalize prioritization.  Penetration testing works with vulnerability management to significantly reduce cyber risk by taking those vulnerabilities and actively testing them to see if they can be exploited.

Core Impact penetration testing software is able to import the results from these vulnerability management solutions and immediately run a pen test. The pen test will not only determine if any of these vulnerabilities can be exploited, but identify what business-critical assets and data can be accessed through that exploit. The combination of vulnerability management and pen testing provides IT teams real-world risk context that is invaluable when planning and prioritizing remediation.
