Agentless or Agent Based – a completely fatuous argument?
“The debates rage on” – a quote from a recent paper by a vendor which is arguably responsible for most of the agentless vs. agent-based network security assessment ‘debate’ in the first place and is of course one of the leading exponents of agentless technologies!

Marketing departments from one or two vendors are pumping vast amounts of one-sided views into this subject, suggesting there is only one way to deliver these solutions – their way. Meanwhile, users continue to struggle with the challenges of protecting their information assets and meeting their compliance needs in a way that works for them!

Get the basics right, secure the servers
Servers lie at the heart of every organisation’s ICT infrastructure. Servers run the business critical applications: the core databases, the web sites, and the line of business applications.  Servers run the services that support system management, user authentication and authorisation, central security and log management applications. 

Servers are therefore the foundation on which every ICT infrastructure is built.

Correctly configured servers save you money by helping prevent security and operations incidents........
Get the basics right - secure the servers.
