"Armed with Internet Security Systems Inc.'s SafeSuite 4.0 [for Windows
NT], network managers can move past the reactionary plugging of security
gaps after network security has been compromised and start focusing
their efforts at preventing an invasion before it happens."

Firewall Scanner
----------------
A firewall must be correctly configured to provide effective protection,
Firewall Scanner (tm) provides the feedback loop for the configuration
of your firewalls. Firewall Scanner (tm) audits the security of the
operating system "under" the firewall, the firewall application itself
and the services enabled through the firewall. Firewall Scanner (tm)
includes tests for packet filtering and application proxy based firewalls.
Web Security Scannner
---------------------
Web servers are increasingly subjected to attacks from the Internet, Web
Security Scanner (tm) provides an automated tool for finding potential
security holes in Web servers. Web Security Scanner (tm) tests the
configuration of the Web server, evaluates the security of the underlying
file system, searches for CGI scripts with known vulnerabilities and
examines custom CGI scripts for security holes.
Intranet Scanner
----------------
Intranet Scanner is an invaluable tool for network and system
administrators to quickly find and fix network security holes before
hackers can exploit those holes. Intranet Scanner scans for over 135
security vulnerabilities. Intranet Scanner is an easy-to-use, graphical
software utility that provides a reliable method to assess the security
configuration of your systems.
