Tripwire CIS compliance—IT security based on industry best practices
With the rise of security threats, increased regulation and compliance issues, the CIS benchmarks have become a cornerstone for good system security. Many organizations rely on the Center for Internet Security (CIS) benchmarks for ensuring reliable security controls within the data center.
Tripwire makes continuous compliance with CIS benchmarks easy and straightforward-providing up-front assessment and ongoing analysis to ensure your configurations remain in conformance with best practices.
Tripwire delivers a comprehensive solution by:
- Covering a variety of data center components with 27 of the CIS benchmarks included in its default configuration,
- Testing configuration compliance against a benchmark, framework or regulation on a schedule or in near real-time to detect out-of-compliance configurations.
- Arranging configuration tests, such as benchmark settings, into policies, and providing the ability to create customized policies.
- Importing pre-defined configuration policies.
- Reporting on compliance with configuration policies, as well as providing automated remediation that help bring the non-compliant systems into compliance.
Tripwire is a Category 1 Member of the CIS, and because Tripwire’s products meet the configuration prescription of the benchmarks, Tripwire has been awarded CIS Security Software Certification. Tripwire’s clients receive the additional benefit of Tripwire’s CIS Policies, which have been examined by CIS and meet the requirements of the CIS benchmark program. CIS-certified Tripwire products are listed on the CIS Web site at: https://benchmarks.cisecurity.org/en-us/?route=membership.roster.
