Greenbone
Vulnerability management allows you to view your IT infrastructure from the outside - from the perspective of a potential attacker, so to speak. The aim is to find every existing vulnerability in your IT infrastructure.
The technical findings must therefore result in a work process that leads to the closure of vulnerabilities. A vulnerability management process should regulate three things:
Who receives what information about discovered vulnerabilities and when? Who is responsible for which steps? What means and methods are available?

VFC was first introduced to the it forensic community in 2007. It enables the simple creation of a virtual machine of a target system, allowing an investigator to recreate the "digital crime scene" and interact with it as if they were sitting in front of the PC in question.

This process is automated by the VFC software to avoid BSOD and driver errors and save the user hours of manual diagnosis and repair.
