Tripwire® Enterprise is the first configuration audit and control solution to combine change auditing with configuration assessment. This enables IT organizations to ensure configuration integrity, achieve operational efficiency, maintain regulatory compliance and increase security, all while reducing costs and risks, and ensuring a known and trusted state.

Key Benefits

Configuration Assessment

• Eases conformity to industry standards. Tripwire proactively assesses configurations across the data center to ensure they comply with internal and external policies.
• Maps to defined industry standards. Configuration assessment tests map to industry standards, such as the Payment Card Industry (PCI), Center for Internet Security (Tripwire Enterprise has been awarded CIS Security Software Certification), Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), COBIT, FISMA and many others. Tripwire offers more configuration assessments than any other configuration audit and control software.
• Capture and codify configuration information. An industry first, Tripwire Enterprise captures configuration information from IT systems and codifies that information as a Golden Policy. This provides organizations the means to retain configuration intellectual property and enables assessment of other IT systems against this Golden Policy to resolve variances

Change Auditing

• Audits configuration change across the enterprise. Tripwire assesses and detects change across the entire IT infrastructure, including virtual environments, alerting for unauthorized changes and automatically triggering remediation.
• Minimizes enterprise risk. Tripwire Enterprise lessens the risk associated with system change, immediately detecting unauthorized change, and automatically correcting problems or allowing IT to quickly intervene.

Compliance

• Streamlines audit process. Tripwire provides an automatic, verifiable audit trail that tracks all change and satisfies auditing processes, and provides auditors with reports that demonstrate the effectiveness of IT controls.
• Reduces manual efforts. Tripwire automatically assesses changes as being compliant and alerts to changes that are non-compliant, greatly reducing time, effort and costs of achieving and maintaining operational, regulatory or security compliance.
• Provides waivers and reports. Following the audit model, Tripwire provides waivers and reports of exceptions that could occur during an audit. Information provided includes start and expiration dates, as well as reasons for waiver and systems affected.

Security

• Mitigates risks and assures integrity. Tripwire offers a single point of control for tunable, 24/7 change detection and visibility across the data center, helping you manage security and compliance vulnerabilities.
• Ships with CIS policies. Tripwire's configuration assessment policies include those from the Center of Internet Security (CIS) that block 80-95% of known security vulnerabilities, protecting your system from both external and internal threats.

IT Operations

• Reduces system outages. Tripwire minimizes the types of changes that can cause disruption, discovering unauthorized changes and configurations before they create problems.
• Reduces SLA penalties. Because Tripwire helps eliminate unauthorized change and reduces unplanned work and firefighting, it also reduces unscheduled downtime that can compromise service level agreements.
• Optimize application performance. Tripwire Enterprise provides Operational policies that provide assessments to help fine-tune applications for optimum performance for the enterprise.

Virtualization

• Ensures a secure, reliable data center. Tripwire offers continuous change monitoring, and comprehensive configuration assessment of virtual environments against industry regulations and standards, allowing security professionals to quickly remediate issues to protect systems and data.
• Provides a single point of control. Tripwire correlates both physical and virtual machine configuration settings against security and operational standards and benchmarks, increasing reliability and performance of business-critical systems.

Reporting

• Offers comprehensive and flexible reporting. Tripwire includes thousands of pre-defined standard reports that provide real-time views of configuration assessments and change auditing activities. Users can also easily create custom reports with drill-down capabilities.

Tripwire Remediation Advisor

• Prescriptive remediation guidance information. Tripwire Enterprise provides remediation guidance information, listing steps that should be taken to remediate a failed test, reducing the need for IT expertise to resolve issues.
• Included relevant HTML links. Remediation information includes relevant links to web sites pertaining to the test, thus providing a single point of contact for all information.

Reconciliation

• Reconciles configuration change with leading CMDBs. Tripwire Enterprise integrates with leading CMDB and IT Service Management Solutions through certified integrations with BMC Atrium CMDB, as well as custom integrations with HP Universal CMDB, CA Service Desk and CA CMDB.
• Remediates unauthorized and unplanned system change. Tripwire can roll back systems to a previous known good state when an improper system change occurs, triggering third party tools to quickly and automatically remediate issues.
