To be honest, I had never heard of nCircle before your post. Googling for "network security scanner", nCircle wasn't found within the first 20 pages. Granted, that search came up with well over 1.6 million hits. When I searched specifically for nCircle within those results, it only came up with 14,000 hits. Qualys came up with 71,500 hits. Eeye Retina scanner came up with 163,000. Nessus came up with 361,000 hits. Not that I can speak for them, but that's probably why it didn't show. Now, go through, and check pricing on those scanners (commercial support options). I will say for a corporation, the reporting options for nCircle look interesting. -Mike -----Original Message----- From: slebdawg () gmail com [mailto:slebdawg () gmail com] Sent: Saturday, February 04, 2006 12:26 PM To: pen-test () securityfocus com Subject: RE: Qualys I've worked in Info Security for one of North America's largest banks for over 8 years. Where is nCircle on this list? Based on your list of important criteria, we've found nCircle to not only fit the bill -- they've outperformed Qualys will allowing our organization to maintain control of our data. I can't tell you how many initiatives we've started because of the valuable information that we get from our IP360 implementation. In many of these cases, we found opportunities based on looking and thinking about the data in a very innovative way. If someone else were hosting our solution, we would never have the intelligence in-house to find innovative ways to use this data. Reading your article, it makes me wonder if you work for Qualys. I am truly boggled that you didn't include nCircle on your list ... even if they didn't turn out to be your vendor of choice, their absence makes me suspicious. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ Audit your website security with Acunetix Web Vulnerability Scanner: Hackers are concentrating their efforts on attacking applications on your website.
