Tripwire Enterprise Supported Platforms & Devices
Tripwire Enterprise supported devices and platforms cover the entire IT infrastructure
Tripwire® Enterprise provides configuration control of all components in the enterprise IT infrastructure—whether virtual or physical—capturing configuration details about each component and making them visible and actionable through the Tripwire Enterprise Console. This information is then used to establish a baseline configuration for each component, against which it runs a configuration assessment policy or compares a later configuration of a given component to detect and alert IT to improper change. See all supported devices and platforms below, or download the Tripwire Enterprise product brief.
