Symantec DeepSight Alert Services provide early warning of potential security threats. These warnings are sent to you via e-mail, SMS, phone, fax, or checking their website. You can use these warnings to be proactive against virus and security threats before they affect your computer or network.
DeepSight features
Symantec analysts review new vulnerabilities and research and monitor their exploits constantly. All the analysis and alerts are stored in the industry’s leading vulnerability database where users can conduct queries on the data.
Tracks vulnerabilities in more than 18,000 operating systems, applications, and technologies from 2,200 vendors
An analysis of every vulnerability and malicious code is provided along with
- The severity of the vulnerability or malicious code, as well as its technical description
- The systems and specific versions that might be affected
- Impact and symptoms of the attack
- Mitigation strategies, including workarounds and available patches
DeepSight Alert Services saves time and money by eliminating the need to dedicate valuable staff resources to search for and evaluate the latest vulnerability and exploit information from multiple sources.
Central administration for alert status consolidation, coupled with detailed historical alert information, means that administrators can analyze and generate reports on successes and failures in the security process
But at a price of $5000 you may want to implement this in your business environment!
