We are pleased to announce the General Availability of FortiScan 3.0. The FortiScan product line was officially launched in April as a new vulnerability management (VM) & compliance solution for endpoint assets, including desktops, laptops, servers as well as other network assets. Targeted to mid-to-large enterprises & government entities, the FortiScan-1000B appliance will help organizations protect thousands of assets by integrating the following capabilities into a single device: endpoint vulnerability management, industry and federal compliance, IS audits, patch management and remediation & network-based vulnerability management.

• Vulnerability Management: Identifies security vulnerabilities and finds compliance exposures on hosts; endpoint VM is achieved through a client-resident agent, while network-level VM is accomplished through agent-less network analysis, from FortiAnalyzer which provides network discovery, asset prioritization and profile-based scanning;
• Auditing: Audits and monitors across heterogeneous systems and provides industry-standard benchmarks for IS compliance audits for operating systems;
• Patch/ Remediation: Delivers patch management with ready-to-deploy remediation and enforcement actions;
• Reporting/ Compliance: Aids compliance for regulatory mandates with 360 degree reporting and analysis; Like the rest of Fortinet's product line, FortiScan-1000B will also rely on the FortiGuard subscription service to automate FortiScan policy, remediation, vulnerability database updates. The FortiScan-1000B appliance comes with 2 terabytes of storage and can support up to 2,000 network assets.
