Real-time Detection

Home > Products > Secure Desktops > Real-time Detection

When devices, operating systems, or applications are compromised, employees lose productivity, and IT teams are forced into reactive mode to minimize exposure. What’s needed is a proactive approach to stay up-to-date on security scanning for all desktops. Secure DX collects OS and applications inventory, identifying vulnerabilities, outdated patches, and weak security settings on operating systems.

Vulnerabilities

With the complexity of software increasing, so does the number of application vulnerabilities. Year-over-year new records are set for the number of publicly known vulnerabilities, including operating system and application vulnerabilities.

ControlUp Secure DX scans your endpoints and quickly detect CVEs (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) that are present in the operating system or installed applications, providing IT teams with data that helps them better understand their security exposure.

Scan for OS and application inventory
Historical CVE reference database
Database includes data from National Vulnerability Database (NVD)
Includes over 37,000 known vulnerabilities

Outdated Applications

Running different application version levels across endpoints increases the attack surface for your environment and can lead to application incompatibility or feature set variation that could negatively impact employee efficiency and productivity.

ControlUp Secure DX scans your endpoints and provides a detailed inventory of installed applications, versions, and details on installation frequency and usage.

Scan for OS and application inventory
Application details including vendor, application name, and version information
Asset details on number of versions, unpatched devices, and usage percentage
Database includes 100s of commonly used Windows applications

Security Configurations

Endpoint devices can gradually drift out of compliance for various reasons, including employee assigned account privileges, operating system and application updates, and untimely policy rollouts by endpoint management platforms.

ControlUp Secure DX continuously scans and audits configuration settings, including account privileges and permissions, web protection policies, and device hardening settings, providing detailed visibility into the current compliance state of the endpoint.

Scans for OS security settings and configuration
Audits Windows account privileges and permissions
Checks for device hardening settings including BitLocker configuration
Tests for web protection and block policies

Cybersecurity Software

Many organizations have compliance mandates around endpoint security software that act as safeguards to mitigate the most prevalent cyberattacks. This includes antivirus, antimalware, VPNs, and data loss prevention software.

ControlUp Secure DX provides desktop IT teams with robust asset management capabilities by scanning for the presence and active state of a range of cybersecurity tools. This helps prevent lapses in protection due to software being inadvertently removed or services ceasing to function.

Scans for installation and running state of cybersecurity software
Supports a broad range of security vendors
Audits antivirus and antimalware software
Asset reporting for VPN, EDR, XDR, DLP, and UEM software
