We believe one should test often, and use neutral third party tools.

If the school accepts credit cards for payment of tuition or student
services, you will be required to to test on a regular basis using only
approved tools.

Check with your Business and Finance departments to see if they have been
contacted by your banks.

  How frequently and how thoroughly does everyone perform vulnerability
scanning? Do you use commercial tools (Qualys, eEye, etc.), free tools
(Nessus, etc.), or outside services? Thanks!
