(What does get a bit blurry is the difference between ESM and VA, since VA seems to be little more than ESM from a "vulenrability enumeration" point of view. If I were a Symantec employee, I would hurt a product manager or This is a bit misleading, as I understand it. SVA is more of a hybrid scanner than a host scanner. It is agent based, which can cause some confusion, but it is still a network scanner. It is the replacement to netrecon. ESM will eventually become something like Symantec Policy Manager, and is not at all interested in vulnerabilities, per se, (nor has it ever been) but is instead a way for an enterprise to check security policy compliance, inasmuch as that can be checked via technical controlls. Compare this to something like some of Bindview's offerings in nature. -ds --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
