5/15/2007
Carnegie Mellon University purchased the NeXpose security software suite to help it enhance scanning and monitoring of its campus networks.CMU Director of Information Security Mary Ann Blair said the software was chosen because it offered support for Linux, had a secure Web interface, and enabled the security office to export customized reports.
