Re: VA vs PT tool

[Gregory Austin <greg () austinconsulting com>]

Simon,

     You may want to take a look at the latest Information Security 
magazine (June).  There is an article about a product called CORE IMPACT 
that purports to do what you're looking for.  I personally have no 
experience with the product, and it didn't get an especially good review 
from the magazine, but if you're interested you can find the article 
on-line at:
