Tool and Software Suggestions

[Justin Hensley <justin.hensley () UCUMBERLANDS EDU>]

Hello All:
The Office of Information Security here at University of the Cumberlands was just opened this past spring and I moved 
from an operational IT role to Director of Information Security.  I have a new budget available to my office for the 
first time, and I'm working on getting budget numbers together.  I'm hoping that members of this group can suggest some 
tools and software that you use in your infosec office that is invaluable to you.  I'm primarily looking to start in 
the categories of vulnerability assessment and penetration testing, identity and access management monitoring (we're an 
Active Directory shop), and patch configuration and management.  I'm aware of many tools and software packages in the 
market, but I'm always finding new ones by reading posts in this listserv so I'm hoping this will help me and others 
also.

Thanks.
