Hot on the heels of the recent Qualys announcement, Ecora the change and configuration management company is offering NetExploroer, a tool that they claim will allow users to "Discover just about every type of device running within a specified IP range, giving you a complete, up-to-date inventory of your network. NetExplorer can also scan all TCP and UDP ports to close potential security holes before someone else finds them."
This points towards a convergence in the market that's been a long time coming. Change, network, and configuration management solutions getting more tightly coupled with vulnerability scanning and remediation.
