The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) is the world's largest security-oriented intergovernmental organization with its Secretariat located in Vienna, Austria.
The Organisation operates a distributed information systems architecture, with servers primarily concentrated at the organisation’s secretariat offices in Vienna, Austria, and distributed infrastructure and local application servers in several locations across Europe and Central Asia. For some locations, IT infrastructure is connected to the internet and corporate network via high latency networks such as satellite links.
In order to assess server security posture as part of the organisation’s security management system, the OSCE has a requirement to deploy a Vulnerability Assessment and Management System.
