Challenge	Eide Bailly, a top 25 accounting firm in the US, performs audits for a number of banks and financial institutions. As part of their audit process, they often look beyond the balance sheet to assess if computing systems are up-to-date and meet industry regulations. This is where Eide Bailly’s technology consulting division steps in. They work with clients to improve performance and profitability, but before they can do that, they need to address security. For those in the financial sector, this isn’t just a business issue but a regulatory one. External vulnerability assessments are required in order to comply with regulations.

Solution	Eide Bailly was already using the Retina Network Security Scanner from BeyondTrust. However, when the contract was coming up for renewal, it was Eric Whitehill's job to look at multiple vendors and ensure that they were getting the best tool for the job at the right price. After extensive testing, Retina Network Security Scanner was chosen as the most complete vulnerability assessment tool for the price on the market. Retina found every missing patch and did not display a single false positive. It also found a misconfiguration in the administrator account, and to highlight the risk associated with that user-name misconfiguration, Retina provided detailed information about the account. Retina is able to scan an entire Class C network in less than 15 minutes, discovering all networked devices. Retina also discovers wireless devices and their configurations, ensuring that these connections can be audited for the appropriate security settings. Read More Log in to view content
