New Capabilities of Tripwire Enterprise 7.5V
The latest release of Tripwire Enterprise, version 7.5V, significantly extends Tripwire's ability to provide configuration control of virtual and physical IT configurations within a single software solution.
Tripwire Enterprise 7.5V adds a whole new level of visibility, security and compliance to virtual environments by continuously monitoring ESX hypervisors, VM containers and Virtual Switches and ensuring they meet policy requirements as described by CIS, PCI, DISA STIG and VMware Hardening guidelines. In addition, Tripwire Enterprise now integrates with VMware Virtual Center, which enables the auto-discovery, tracking, alerting and reporting of changes among virtual objects, using the same group hierarchy structure as described within Virtual Center.
Tripwire Enterprise 7.5V also provides a number of usability enhancements, including an updated user interface, new customizable home pages, new policy templates and two new reports.
In addition, Tripwire Enterprise 7.5V allows integration with Microsoft's System Center Operations Manager through a free management pack. With the management pack, Operations Manager users are not only assured that their configurations maintain ongoing policy compliance, but can also receive remediation information right within their primary console if any configurations step out of bounds.
