Organizational InformationName of Your Organization:ThreatGuard
Web Site:Product Information Product/Service Name:ThreatGuard On Demand 1.0
Compatible Categories:OVAL Definition Consumer
OVAL Results Producer Product/Service Home Page:Product AccessibilityProvide a short description of how and
where your capability is made available to your customers and the public:
ThreatGuard is a single network appliance that provides
24/7, low-impact scanning for vulnerabilities. Multiple appliances
can be tied together in a ThreatShield configuration for multi-site
correlation of an organization's exposures. These appliances can be
purchased through ThreatGuard's dynamic network of Value-Added Resellers
(VARs). They can also be purchased directly from ThreatGuard (http://www.threatguard.com/contact.htm).
Language Version IndicationDescribe how and where the capability indicates
the version of the OVAL Language used to validate, create, or update
its content:
The ThreatGuard Navigator client application shows the most recent OVAL
Schema version used in the "About" screen. This is accessed from the
main Navigator menu bar.
Approach for Correction of ErrorsIndicate how a user who discovers an error in the capability's use of OVAL can report the error:
We accept email notification of such errors. In response, we work with
the reporter (where necessary) to recreate the target environment and
thus recreate the error.
Describe the approach to responding to the above error reports and how applicable fixes will be applied:
We apply the fix, perform regression testing across our test lab, then
distribute the fix (new software or revised definition) via our
centralized live-update system. All Internet-connected appliances will
download and install the update wihtin 24 hours. Clients with appliances
on closed networks will receive an update CD.
Compatibility DocumentationProvide a copy, or directions to the location, of where the documentation describes OVAL and OVAL Compatibility for any customers:
From APPENDIX D of the ThreatGuard User's Manual
About OVAL Open Vulnerability and Assessment Language (OVAL) is an international, information security community baseline standard for how to check for the presence of vulnerabilities and configuration issues on computer systems. OVAL standardizes the three main steps of the process: collecting system characteristics and configuration information from systems for testing; testing the systems for the presence of specific vulnerabilities, configuration issues, and/or patches; and presenting the results of the tests. For more information on the OVAL project, please reference "http://oval.mitre.org/about/". Details about OVAL-Compatibility and OVAL-ID Compatibility can be found at "http://oval.mitre.org/compatible/index.html". Language SupportIndicate the component schemas and/or individual OVAL Tests that the capability does not support for each category of OVAL Compatibility being applied for:
ThreatGuard supports all schemas.
Finding Elements Using OVALProvide details regarding how users can identify and find individual OVAL content (through OVAL-IDs) that is being consumed by the capability. For example, how can a user determine which definitions have been consumed and what the result of each definition is:
From APPENDIX D of the ThreatGuard User's Manual
Finding Vulnerabilities by OVAL ID The ThreatGuard Navigator allows you to search for vulnerabilities by OVAL ID. The bottom, left-hand corner of the main window has a Search pane as shown at the top of Figure D1. Adjust the search parameter to "OVAL ID", type in the OVAL ID of interest and click the Search button. The Search Results window (also shown in Figure D1) is displayed, holding the title, description, and solution for the vulnerability, as well as all related hosts. OVAL Content Importation Process ExplanationIf the capability does not support consuming OVAL content at runtime, explain the documented process by which users can submit OVAL content for interpretation by the capability, including how quickly submitted content is made available to the capability:
ThreatGuard's products will accept user-defined OVAL content at runtime.
Statement of CompatibilityHave an authorized individual sign and date the following Compatibility Statement (required): "As an authorized representative of my organization I agree that we will abide by all of the mandatory Compatibility Requirements as well as all of the additional mandatory Compatibility Requirements that are appropriate for our specific type of capability."
Statement of AccuracyHave an authorized individual sign and date the following accuracy Statement (recommended): "As an authorized representative of my organization and to the best of my knowledge, there are no errors in the correctness of our capability's use of OVAL schema and logic."
Statement on Follow-on Correctness Testing SupportHave an authorized individual sign and date the following statement about your organizations willingness to support correctness testing of other capabilities, which will be managed by the Reviewing Authority and kept to reasonable levels of effort for all involved. (required): "As an authorized representative of my organization, we agree to support the Review Authority in follow-on correctness testing activities, where appropriate types of OVAL documents might need to be exchanged with other organizations attempting to prove the correctness of their capabilities."
