About

A tidal wave of vulnerabilities, but you can’t fix them all. Rely on extensive threat intel and patented prioritization to cut costs, save time, and keep your teams efficiently focused on reducing the biggest risks to your business. This is Modern Risk-Based Vulnerability Management. We created Risk-Based Vulnerability Management software and now we’re defining the modern model. Show your security and IT teams which infrastructure vulnerabilities they should remediate, when. Our latest version reveals exploitability can be measured, and accurately measuring exploitability can help you minimize it. Cisco Vulnerability Management (formerly Kenna.VM) combines real-world threat and exploit intelligence and advanced data science to determine which vulnerabilities pose the highest risk and which you can deprioritize. Spoiler alert: Your mega-list of “critical vulnerabilities” will shrink faster than a woolen sweater-vest in a hot cycle.

About

Gardience is a Windows and Linux fleet management platform built on Salt, available as self-managed software or a vendor-hosted service. It provides patching, CVE exposure checks, configuration and drift controls, and STIG- and CIS-aligned security baselines with exportable audit evidence. IT teams can inventory servers, schedule and approve changes, and review tamper-evident activity records. Ansible playbooks run through Gardience, while a Terraform provider can enroll new machines and apply configurations. A REST API and MCP server support automation and AI-agent workflows, with human approval required for changes. The product also offers CMMC Level 2 assessment workflows, including policy templates, evidence collection, and System Security Plan and POA&M support. It is designed for teams responsible for mixed Windows and Linux estates, including regulated and air-gapped environments.
