• Improve visibility into your real-time security status.
• Provide a simplified and automated process for patching all systems in your environment, both physical (servers, desktops, laptops) and virtual machines (even those that are offline).
• Establish your configuration baseline and then proactively enforce that policy by continuously identifying and fixing gaps in systems that deviate in your security and configuration controls.
• Dynamically discover and catalog IT assets and quickly close the gaps in security and policy compliance by consolidating hardware, software, and virtual machine asset information in one location.
