BeyondTrust Releases New Version of Retina Community

BeyondTrust, a provider of context-aware security intelligence, has released the newest version of Retina Community, a free vulnerability assessment tool based on the industry’s most widely deployed network security scanner, Retina Network.

This new edition, available for download, includes scanning profiles tailored to the specific groups that comprise enterprise IT today. In addition, the free license has increased to now support the assessment of up to 256 assets, further reducing the attack surface in companies large and small.

Retina Community includes targeted scan profiles for security, compliance and systems administrators responsible for IT environments, allowing servers, desktops, virtualization and databases to be quickly and easily assessed for vulnerabilities.

“The rapidly changing threat landscape, coupled with today’s dynamic IT environments, unfortunately creates a prime breeding ground for vulnerabilities,” said Marc Maiffret, chief technology officer at BeyondTrust. “With exploits and targeted attacks appearing faster than ever before, it has become imperative for organizations to have tools like Retina Community to identify potential weaknesses and help prioritize which need to be addressed first.”

Already in use by over 10,000 organizations worldwide, Retina Community helps IT professionals within organizations to identify risks and learn how to remediate them, reducing the internal and external attack surface of their environments dramatically.
