Outpost24 Customer Corner

**Excerpt from the Outpost24 case study; 'The Centre des technologies de l’information de l’Etat in Luxembourg uses Outpost24's HIAB to stay secure'. The Centre des technologies de l’information de l’Etat (CTIE) was established by the Luxembourg Government as part of an administrative reform to better meet the challenges of the information society and support the spread of electronic exchanges within government. Originally CTIE looked into some of the free solutions available for vulnerability scanning but quickly saw that these did not contain all the features required to support a complete process for managing vulnerabilities in a cost-efficient way.

"Outsourcing can be very expensive and using open source tools is time consuming to manage. HIAB does what it should do - it's easily manageable, straight forward, and helps to achieve the defined level of security we had been looking for.", stated the Security Officer of CTIE. 

**Excerpt from the Outpost24 case study; 'The Netherlands #1 Real Estate Website Relies on OUTSCAN for Automated External Vulnerability Assessment and Management'. As the leading real estate website in The Netherlands, Funda needed an automated process for external vulnerability management to reduce the amount of time spent on finding and correcting identified vulnerabilities manually.

Marcel Begnor, Funda IT Manager stated “There was an instance where I was surprised to see that the OUTSCAN report showed a high-risk finding on one of our company web-apps which runs on port 443. So, I started to look into the high-risk finding, which revealed a possible XSS/cross site scripting exploit. Two weeks later the manufacturer distributed an email saying they had serious exploits in the products with XSS/cross site scripting and that customers needed to update their servers and systems. So, Outpost24 actually gave me the warning two weeks in advance which was fantastic.”
