How does eTrust Vulnerability Manager detect vulnerabilities?
eTrust Vulnerability Manager uses non-intrusive methods to detect vulnerabilities on an asset through a two-step process. Step one is the identification of technologies running on an asset. This may be accomplished through either manual input or automatically by eTrust Vulnerability Manager Service. eTrust Vulnerability Manager Service identifies the version, patch and hot fix level of technologies running on an asset. This information is then correlated with CAs security database to identify the vulnerabilities that apply to the asset.
