I actually prefer the Tenable line of products. They are the creaters of
Nessus which is the de facto standard of vulnerability scanners on the
Internet.
Tenable has created a number of tools to surround Nessus to offer (in my view)
a complete security audit solution.
Nevo is a Passive Vulnerability Scanner
Thunder is their Log Correlation Engine
Lightning is the management tool that pulls everything together in one easy to
manage console. From here you can create policies, run distributed scans of
your entire enterprise and then create reports as generic or as explicit as
you need.
From what I hear they are about to release a new version which includes
policies for compliance for all the major standards in the industry.

Hi Rob,
There are quite a few tools around there to perform these kinds of audits. I
personally like eEye Retina with REM Events Manager Console best. It allows
you to perform scheduled audits and have results posted in a dashboard like
way, or even have reports send by email.
I see you are especially interested in Wireless, therefor I think eEye
Retina is speficially fit for your needs.

Subject: Canned audits
Hi All,
We have had many audits in the past by 3 party vendors. My company is
finally interested in performing some of these audits in house and a little
more frequently than the annual 3rd party audits.
My question is, is there a software package, a "canned" audit that can be
performed? Basic info gathering questions regarding authentication controls,
network documentation(how and where it is stored), question that should be
asked regarding wireless AP and other basic security questions?
