BackBox introduces Network Vulnerability Manager for organised risk assessment
IT Brief – Australia – Imee Dequito
BackBox, a network automation platform, has launched its Network Vulnerability Manager (NVM), a feature that combines automated operating system upgrades, network configuration management, and network vulnerability management.
The NVM is designed for network teams and enables quick vulnerability discovery, prioritization based on risk profile, and automated remediation across complex networks.
BackBox aims to address the issue of manual processes that hinder IT security’s response to vulnerabilities, leading to downtime and backlogs.
The NVM integrates seamlessly with BackBox’s automation platform and offers network engineers real-time threat analysis, effective remediation, and scalability.
Unlike most vulnerability management tools, BackBox’s NVM is tailored for network operations teams to accelerate network automation.
With a library of pre-built automations and a script-free approach, BackBox simplifies automation tasks.
The NVM identifies vulnerabilities, prioritizes them, and automates remediation through configuration changes, network upgrades, and patches, streamlining OS and firmware updates with backup and validation features.
BackBox aims to empower network engineers and deliver network-first solutions, recognizing their crucial role in enhancing network performance, resilience, and security.
