NIST

Incorporate all NIST guidelines

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) publish guidelines for securing the systems and networks that run the U.S. government's operations. These guidelines are available in the 800-series publications, and sifting through well over a hundred publications for guidelines pertinent to your information systems is inefficient. Fortunately, Tripwire Enterprise incorporates all the NIST security standards and can help you achieve and maintain compliance with this policy.


Tripwire ensures that IT professionals responsible for securing important federal information systems can do their jobs, and prove compliance with NIST guidelines.

Tripwire delivers a comprehensive solution by:

  • Ensuring systems measure up to the NIST recommendations by providing configuration assessment for existing systems.
  • Alerting, in real-time, when key changes or event activity violates NIST 800-53A policies.
  • Increasing response time and mitigating risk with remediation guidance or automated remediation of mis-configurations.
  • Generating an audit trail for proof of compliance with NIST guidelines and assurance that these critical federal systems are secure.
