Tripwire enhances configuration control, file integrity monitoring PDF Print E-mail
Friday, 05 March 2010 07:27
In order to protect sensitive data and maintain compliance in today’s challenging security environment, it is essential that companies have complete control over any changes to their critical IT infrastructure.  This level of control requires real-time alerts when a system moves out of a compliant state so IT teams can appropriately respond depending on the level of true risk to the enterprise.
To do this, they often need to determine instantly which changes are critical, like the unexpected enabling of an FTP port, and which do not present a security risk, such as a user modifying a password from one acceptable format to a different, but still acceptable format.
Biodata IT, local distributor of Tripwire, a leading global provider of IT security and compliance automation solutions, introduces the latest version of Tripwire Enterprise 7.7 which is the only solution where users benefit from a combined compliance policy and file integrity management solution with critical log and event data offering unprecedented visibility into their entire IT infrastructure. Tripwire Enterprise 7.7 makes it easier to assess, prioritize and reconcile changes detected in critical IT systems with its new set of ChangeIQ capabilities, and also provides one-step integration with Tripwire Log Center for increased threat protection.
The ChangeIQ capabilities in Tripwire Enterprise 7.7 transform the way companies look at change. With ChangeIQ, companies will now understand which changes matter and which changes do not by providing enhanced automation and built-in intelligence, with features like automated approval templates, customization of change severities, and change type filters that automate the handling of non-critical changes and appropriately elevate higher-risk changes.
By integrating file integrity monitoring and compliance policy management with log and event management, Tripwire Enterprise 7.7 and Tripwire Log Center provide an entirely new, more effective means for incident investigation by adding new levels of visibility to detected changes. Tripwire Enterprise 7.7 adds significant enhancements that improve the security and compliance posture for both new and existing customers, including:
* ChangeIQ capabilities to provide intelligent change assessment and streamline the way users manage change reconciliation, allowing them to manage more of their IT infrastructure with the same resources.
* Out-of-the-box integration with Tripwire Log Center, Tripwire’s next-generation log and event management solution, to provide better threat protection and detailed incident investigation.
* Greater coverage of more of an organization’s business critical infrastructure.
* Powerful reporting capabilities that easily convert Tripwire Enterprise data into useful, actionable information.
