Security Hardening with Tripwire VIA
IT Security Hardening—Hardened Systems are Secure Systems
IT security hardening is your enterprise’s most foundational critical security control. It minimizes network security vulnerabilities, reduces the attack surface, and helps your organization avoid becoming a victim of zero-day exploits and attacks. Yet most security solutions try to simply limit outside access to the system where your sensitive data resides—the perimeter-centric approach to security. These traditional security measures leave your infrastructure vulnerable to attack and compromise.
In addition, many IT security compliance laws require consistency and documentation of network security hardening efforts—whether you apply your own IT security hardening policies or depend on the various best practices available from industry sources like the SANS Institute, Center for Internet Security or NIST. You need a security configuration management solution that reduces the attack surface by applying consistent system hardening. And one that also provides proof of these efforts.
Tripwire delivers Security Configuration Management with Tripwire Enterprise.
