Enterprise Security Manager

Symantec Enterprise Security Manager™ automates the discovery of security vulnerabilities and deviations from the security policy in mission critical applications and servers across the enterprise. Symantec Enterprise Security Manager (ESM) provides enterprise-class tools that allow administrators to create security baselines for every system on the network and measure performance against those baselines to ensure that devices are properly configured and being used in accordance with policies.
