Re: Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency(CISA) Cyber Hygiene scan services

[Valerie Smith <vsmith () GENESEO EDU>]

Hi Vince,

We've used it for almost a year now and we really like it. It's essentially
just Nessus but they send a weekly pdf report with good info, charts, and
graphs (the original Nessus data is embedded as an attachment in the
appendix too). I've used their graphs in reports to management. And being
able to say "DHS says this is a critical vulnerability" has helped get
people to act a little quicker with remediations than they may have
otherwise. ;)

Also they send an annual report of aggregated, anonymized vuln data from
across higher ed so that you can see how your institution compares against
the average.

Let me know if you have other questions or there's anything else I can help
with regarding this topic.

Thanks,
Val
