Not a bad idea, will have to check out some software for it.
We actually helped with the CentOS documentation. As one of our corporate requirements is to use CentOS or RHEL for all linux installations. Previously, SimpleRisk was only supported on Ubuntu.

@IRJ wow those add ons are not cheap. just reading names they each do not seem like they are worth that cost.
Their basic hosted cost would be more cost effective for many years.

Holy cow, is that annually or one-time cost?

Annually.

Is it just me, or are they charging for encryption functionality, which can be setup on your installation when you INSTALL . . . $2k Annually for that is a complete ripoff.
SimpleRisk Encrypted Database Extra Sensitive text is encrypted with a long, random, password prior to being inserted into the SimpleRisk database preventing anyone from being able to view or modify the data without using the SimpleRisk application directly. -

Unfortunately, some of them are necessary for us. Like LDAP integration, email notifications, and team based separation. These are required for me to create proper workflows in an enterprise size environment. There are potentially hundreds of users I need to involve for different pieces of this system.

This is not disk enryption. This is encryption of the data in the database itself.

I agree that the hosted version is much better pricewise and of course that is what is pushed by SimpleRisk. However, it's kind of scary having all your vulnerabilities on your network managed off site by a small company.

I totally get that too. I have done software development. I get that it is not cheap. But those prices are just out of line.

But why not encrypt the entire system, why encrypt the individual records of the database?

Agreed. When we talked to the owner back in December about this we made a big stink about the price. Especially when much more robust Risk Management solutions are cheaper than SimpleRisk.
These other enterprise solutions are very complicated to implement. It would take a team of people to implement because the system is so complicated because it is actually setup to do calculations. SimpleRisk is simply a place to document risks. There is no need to tie them to values, assets, do calculations like ALE style calculations, etc.
Also when you consider you have at least a hundred users extensively using a system, Is $6k really that much? If you use support once or twice you could easily recoup your $6k back in saved time.

Who said the base system is not encrypted? That still does not provide protection to the data in the database when the system is running.
Encrypted disks are not encrypted when the system is booted and logged in.

True, so this is encryption while in use? Or are you making the assumption it is?

Oh I get how it can help. I just think these are a bit steep comparing one method to the other within their own product pricing. I cannot compare to any other products because I do not know any other products.

Did you even read what you quoted?
Do you understand what a database is?
I am not making an assumption. This is very clear. -
We use the one built into Nessus.
