What's new in F-Secure Elements Vulnerability Management: Enhancements in performance boost, provisioning, and usability.

During the first part of 2018, we have added several exciting enhancements to F-Secure Elements Vulnerability Management, which we highlight in this article.

Our new scanning engine offers improved scanning speed for faster results

System Scan, which scans any system with an IP for common vulnerabilities, now experiences augmented scanning speed with the new scanning engine.
Discovery Scan, used to map the customers’ attack surface with network and port scanning, is now even up to 30% faster.
Web application scanning speed has also increased due to scanning logic optimization.

The new auto-deployment feature ensures faster provisioning of updates, features, and fixes

Customers using the cloud version now automatically receive more frequent updates, features, and fixes in the Elements Vulnerability Management portal with the new auto-deployment feature.

Elements Vulnerability Management Dashboard enhancements streamline usability

In the Elements Vulnerability Management Dashboard, it is now possible:

To automatically close and re-open tickets depending on their vulnerability status.
To see information in the Notifications area about the most important system events; such as, connectivity to scan nodes.
To check which vulnerabilities and CVE numbers are being detected by Radar.
To add new hosts to the vulnerability scanning group by using PowerShell script and the Radar API.

Note:

For customers using Elements Vulnerability Management hosted by F-Secure, there is no action needed on your part, as these enhancements have already been added to the product.

For customers using on-premise installations of Elements Vulnerability Management, you will be informed later about the update availability.
