“Integrating a quality vulnerability management application into a Vmware based appliance makes a lot of sense. With the focus on being green, reducing server sprawl, and continued power concerns in many datacenters, utilizing existing bare metal to house the application allows for redundancy, scalability, and maximization of existing resources. The Nexpose application gives me great executive data while dramatically mitigating the false positives we find with other commercial and open-source scanners,” said Jeromie Jackson, TIG's Senior Security Architect & developer of the appliance. The Nexpose application from Rapid7 is one of the core applications TIG utilizes for their professional services work. There are plans for further appliance development- many tools support VMware but have not yet reached maturity to where they have been productized as virtual appliances. Vendors are welcomed to contact Mr. Jackson for other such developments.
