PGP Security will unveil this week at NetWorld+Interop 2001 in Atlanta an easier-to-use version of its CyberCop network vulnerability-assessment tool that will help customers more quickly find and fix security weaknesses in PCs, servers, switches and firewalls.

Called Distributed CyberCop Scanner 2.0, the tool consists of PC-based software agents and the ePolicy Orchestrator console. The console downloads the agents to devices attached to corporate LANs and, in turn, those agents report back to the console about the security status of Windows NT or Unix-based servers and desktops on the LAN. The previous version of CyberCop could only report on one LAN segment at a time and had to be deployed manually to each LAN segment, a time-consuming task.

The PC-based CyberCop agent software reports its findings on many types of known problems - such as the Microsoft Internet Information Server buffer-overflow vulnerability exploited by the recent Code Red computer worm - to the ePolicy Orchestrator.
