The new features are available directly through SecurityCenter’s console and offer extensive visibility for multiple teams – network, security, operations, and compliance, the company said.

The apps dramatically cut time and resources required to identify and respond to vulnerabilities, advanced threats, and compliance violations without the need to write complex scripts or rely on 3rd party tools.

Key features and capabilities in SecurityCenter 4.7 include:

• A new framework for creating and updating dashboards, dynamic asset lists, and reports.

• Extended mobile device coverage to track mobile device types, users, and vulnerabilities through active, passive scanning and MDM integration.

• Remediation report summarizing vulnerabilities, most effective remediation, as well as time to remediate.
