Network and Asset Discovery Details
Superior Performance
We’ve conducted extensive performance and benchmark testing of our discovery engine to determine that it offers the fastest scanning and discovery speeds available on commercial and open source markets.
SecureFusion vs. NMAP
SecureFusion has been proven to perform asset discovery more than 300 times faster than NMAP, an open source technology used by many security vendors. Our speed enables full enterprise discovery to occur frequently.
Performance Testing
Performance test results were achieved using a single hardware appliance with Gideon Technologies’ standard specifications.

1 Indicates 250Kbps default bandwidth setting
2 Testing was conducted without DNS lookups since lookup times vary widely per client network.
3 Results shown are per network-accessible application (i.e. MS SQL Server).
Auto-Updates and Maintenance
Application upgrades and updates are automatically downloaded and deployed to SecureFusion. Application support and maintenance required by our customers is negligible.
