nCircle, the leader in information risk and security performance management, today announced PureCloud SmartScan – the latest innovation to the PureCloud platform – designed to quickly and automatically identify critical vulnerabilities and emerging threats on targeted systems as well as alert users to help mitigate potential threats.

PureCloud SmartScan is the only “hands-free” solution for zero-day and emerging threat vulnerability scanning that requires no manual intervention or set-up. Built on nCircle’s enterprise-class IP360 vulnerability scan engine, PureCloud SmartScan provides the most accurate scanning results in the industry and delivers comprehensive, actionable reports.

“SmartScan combined with routine, comprehensive vulnerability scanning with PureCloud is the killer combination to keep SMB networks safe,” said Ed Colonna, vice president of cloud solutions at nCircle. “SmartScan drastically reduces an organization’s network security risk because they are automatically notified when emerging vulnerabilities are present on their network.”

The first true SaaS vulnerability scanning solution in the industry, PureCloud provides a comprehensive vulnerability management solution that requires no hardware or software to be installed and managed. nCircle PureCloud dramatically reduces the cost and complexity of vulnerability scanning – a widely recognized security and compliance best practice among major corporations – making the practice easily accessible to businesses of every size.

PureCloud SmartScan key features include:

• “Hands-free” operation - no set up or configuration required
• Automated checks for Microsoft Patch Tuesday vulnerabilities
• Automatic checks for emerging critical threats identified by nCircle’s Vulnerability Exposure Research Team (VERT)
