Tripwire IP360
Tripwire IP360 discovers and profiles network devices and software, then assesses and ranks vulnerability risk.
What Tripwire IP360 is
Tripwire IP360 discovers and profiles network devices and software, then assesses and ranks vulnerability risk. It covers on-premises, cloud, and container environments with agent-based and agentless scans, including credentialed scans. Application-centric fingerprinting selects signatures for device and application types to limit unnecessary interactions. Risk scores use factors such as impact, ease of exploitation, and age, on a scale from 1 to 50,000. A web interface supports administration, configuration, reporting, and workflow, with granular access controls and user roles. Open APIs can connect vulnerability management with help desk and asset management solutions; listed integrations include ServiceNow, Splunk Enterprise, LinkShadow, and RedSeal. On-premises deployments use hardened Linux-based virtual or physical appliances, and scanning appliances can be pooled. Virtual appliance platforms include VMware ESXi, Hyper-V, Azure, Amazon EC2, VirtualBox, VMware Workstation, and VMware Fusion. A managed service is available through Tripwire ExpertOps, with consulting and cloud infrastructure. A 30-day evaluation license is listed as free for up to 100 IP addresses; applications are limited to businesses and subject to vendor review. Paid pricing is available by quote, with perpetual and subscription options.
