Re: Canned audits

I actually prefer the Tenable line of products.  They are the creaters of 
Nessus which is the de facto standard of vulnerability scanners on the 
Internet.

Tenable has created a number of tools to surround Nessus to offer (in my view) 
a complete security audit solution.

Nevo is a Passive Vulnerability Scanner
Thunder is their Log Correlation Engine
Lightning is the management tool that pulls everything together in one easy to 
manage console. From here you can create policies, run distributed scans of 
your entire enterprise and then create reports as generic or as explicit as 
you need.

policies for compliance for all the major standards in the industry.
