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.

About

ManageEngine Vulnerability Manager Plus is an enterprise vulnerability management solution that continuously detects, prioritizes, and remediates security risks across desktops, servers, and network devices from a single console. AI-powered threat intelligence assigns risk scores based on CVSS severity, exploit availability, and active attack trends so teams focus on what matters most. Built-in patch management automates deployment across Windows, macOS, Linux, and 1,500+ third-party applications at no additional cost, with pre-built scripts for zero-day vulnerabilities providing immediate protection while vendor patches are awaited. Security configuration management audits firewalls, antivirus, BitLocker encryption, and password policies, while web server hardening validates SSL certificates and HTTPS enablement. Compliance automation audits against CIS, NIST, and UK Cyber Essentials with detailed remediation guidance for every violation.
