Very Interesting Ian! But the problem is that if a Scanning Tool cannot provide a simple way of generating this kind of reports as a "buit-in feature" its useless! I mean... what good does it make to perform a scan if you cannot automatically compile the data generated in a way that you can identify the vulnerabilities that have to be addressed? I trully belive that there is a HUGE difference between customizing reports and being forced to create your own ones to be able to work. Well... thank you for your help and congratilations on a work well done on your reports. I'm already trying to contact the local ISS people for specific help, but I belive I'll have to find another way to assess the vulnerabilities of my customer network.

I don't think that there is any easy way to merge the databases and have the IS reporting engine still generate the reports properly. We deal with it here by taking the Access databases from our IS scanning agents all over the center and import them into one specially designed integrated Access database. From there we make center wide reports that bring in other data types and other scanning tool results and put all the data into the same security reports. We can design new reports as necessary, then tweak them and improve them until they give us just what we need. It's a lot of work, but I think it is the "wave of the future" for Security Information Management. Look at what RealSecure and other security tools are starting to do, the exact same thing. They are managing all sorts of security related data and spitting it out into a wide variety of reports that are meaningful and usable for a variety of users, from security professionals and administrators to branch managers and center CIO's.
