Frank,

       The solution that you choose is not as important as the processes you have in place. The policies and the 
politics are the hard parts. You need to know your assets, have contacts, have timelines for fixing vulns, a way of 
prioritizing what gets fixed, etc…

        That said both Qualsys and Tenable are very good products, we just happen to use SecurityCenter and Nessus 
Cloud and are very happy with them.

       If you need more technical info about Tenable you can e-mail me offline.

Thanks,

Good morning folks, We are looking at tools for vulnerability management, and have identified both Qualys and Tennable 
SecurityCenter as possibilities. I was wondering if there was anybody here that could speak to having used either (or 
others that we should look at), pros, cons, indifferents, etc.

Thank You
Frank
