We can generate daily security scanning audit reports for compliance purposes and automate the port and network monitoring with the new security service provided by ioBeacon. The automated security system removes the burden of manual network monitoring and scans thus freeing IT administration resources for other duties. ioBeacon offers the option to generate a printable audit report based upon results of the current scan. A printable discrepancy report and a log history are also accessible.

    ioBeacon was created to automate the mundane repetitive task of scanning and checking external IP addresses for changes in port condition. The on-line service does a daily scan of a client's IP address and compares the results against a table of expected values. If the network monitoring service finds any discrepancies between the scanned and the expected conditions be found, and at the end the client is notified by email.

    Surgite Ventures' President, Scott A. Eden, stated: "ioBeacon's niche is in ensuring security best-practices are followed by automating the mundane task of daily network scans and results comparisons. Auditors are often interested in how often your network is scanned and whether it is scanned by an external source to ensure compliance with established best practices. With ioBeacon you can now say it's scanned daily by a third party."
