Tripwire understands the issues IT tackles every day-from the need to attain compliance with regulations, standards or internal policy to the task of securing the virtual and physical IT infrastructure. Tripwire solution briefs address specific challenges IT confronts and provides answers to complicated issues around configuration control.
Organizations face mounting pressure to attain, maintain and prove PCI compliance. Tripwire helps organizations reduce risk and achieve continuous, verifiable PCI compliance.
Recent high-profile security breaches resulted from poor configurations of point-of-sale (POS) devices in retail stores. Tripwire's PCI for Retailers helps organizations protect cardholder data with PCI compliance of the corporate data center out to POS devices.
Many organizations have achieved SOX compliance, but how can they sustain compliance? Tripwire's configuration assessment leverages the COBIT framework to help organizations attain SOX compliance, and Tripwire's change auditing helps them sustain it.
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) was created to safeguard the confidentiality, security and integrity of customer personal and financial information. Tripwire helps organizations meet technical requirements outlined in Section 501b of the GLBA.
Tripwire automated configuration assessment for FISMA and change auditing reduce the manual effort required for Federal agencies to gain FISMA compliance and eliminate the "spreadsheet chaos" associated with proving compliance.
To decrease security risk, Federal agencies must configure their Windows XP- and Vista-based machines based on the Federal Desktop Core Configuration. Tripwire automates FDCC-compliance on Windows XP machines and minimizes audit preparation efforts.
JSOX, much like SOX in the U.S., is Japan's legislation designed to increase consumer confidence in Japan's publicly held companies by mandating reliable financial reporting. Tripwire helps Japanese companies automate the controls, evaluation and disclosure JSOX requires.
Users, owners and operators of the U.S. bulk-power system must now comply with the prescriptive configurations of NERC Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) standards. Tripwire helps organizations subject to NERC remain secure, NERC-compliant and prepared for an audit.
Change auditing is key to ensuring the IT infrastructure is secure, compliant and operationally optimized. Tripwire Enterprise provides complete visibility into and an audit trail of all configuration change and integrates with popular change and configuration management tools.
Tripwire Enterprise assesses IT configurations against regulations, standards, and internal policy, identifying insecure and non-compliant settings so IT can proactively establish a known, good state. Then Tripwire Enterprise maintains that state with continuous change auditing.
With Tripwire Enterprise organizations can proactively assess configurations across the virtual and physical infrastructure and monitor configuration change-all from a single solution that also generates configuration integrity reports and proof of any configuration change.
Undesirable configuration change often leads to security breaches, with negative consequences such as system outages and fines. Tripwire Enterprise secures the IT infrastructure with configuration assessment against security best practices, followed by continuous change auditing.
The top cause of system downtime is improper configuration change made by employees-often inadvertently. Tripwire helps get systems into a known, good state, and then detects and alerts IT to unauthorized change, providing details on what changed, how to fix it, and who did it.
With more organizations turning to virtualization for cost-savings and convenience, awareness of its risks becomes critical. Tripwire Enterprise addresses virtual sprawl, misconfiguration and other virtualization risks and also security risk of the physical environment.
One of the major factors that compromises the success of a CMDB is unauthorized change. Tripwire helps IT overcome issues caused by unauthorized change, ensuring changes follow configuration and change policy and provide accurate change detail to enhance CMDB initiatives.
Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft IIS power essential business applications, and when improperly configured can cause disruptions in services like email and ecommerce sites. Tripwire helps organizations ensure these applications are optimally configured for availability and performance.
IT management often relies on its talented staff to hold together the IT infrastructure by brute force-an approach that lacks scalability and can't handle the barrage of new technologies. Tripwire helps IT regain control of configurations and experience success with CMDB initiatives.
Retailers face a unique challenge when it comes to protecting sensitive cardholder data and maintaining PCI compliance: their highly distributed network of stores and non-technical staff. Tripwire and Bit9 together address 11 of the 12 PCI requirements through the PCI Suite for Retailers.
