The IT-Grundschutz Standards and Catalogues are a set of recommendations designed to assist an organization in achieving an appropriate security level for information throughout an organization. The Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) in Germany develops and maintains the BSI Standards, of which IT-Grundschutz is a part of. The Standards and Catalogues provide methods, processes, procedures, and approaches to information security management, risk analysis, and business continuity management.
The BSI-100-2 Report provides details on the vulnerability status of specific services and devices, such as FTP, Telnet, password audits, firewall, and other policy and services audit checks. The devices and services presented within this report can be considered areas of high risk to an organization. This report can assist the analyst by providing a comprehensive view of outstanding risks that need to be addressed. Tenable.sc Continuous View (CV) provides the analyst with the most current information of existing vulnerabilities that need to be remediated, and can aid in actively identify and responding to threats quickly and efficiently.
