VA Probe

VA Probe is an automated, client-initiated vulnerability management service developed by Thinking Farm. One of the benefits of utilising the automated scheduling assessment service is to efficiently detect for newly discovered vulnerabilities. This helps by providing early notification alerts to administrators to quickly perform all necessary patching and upgrading, before it is targeted by malicious individuals. In a way this can be seen as a detective and preventive control, which is better than a corrective one.
