Challenges

Lack of reliability regarding the outcome since the scan items were unable to be customized in detail.
Purchasing a license to scan multiple servers was not possible due to the high price.
In the case of foreign tools, reports needed to be modified before submitting to clients since English was partially mixed even if Japanese patches were applied.
Manual scans by developers resulted in inconsistent quality of assessment across the department since scan results varied depending on individual skills.

Benefits

The reliability of scan results has been highly increased due to the ability to customize the parameters of scan items, giving developers more confidence in the results.
Vex enables them to scan multiple servers seamlessly.
Vex's extensive report options allows them to submit reports to clients without additional work for modifying them.
They are now able to objectively prove to clients that "this result will be obtained no matter who does the test" based on the proper standards.
