Simplifying FISMA Compliance with Tripwire

Designed to strengthen the security of federal information systems, networks, and information, the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) combines security best practices and guidelines from respected security sources like the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Complying with FISMA is mandatory, and all federal IT infrastructure is subject to an annual audit. Tripwire helps federal agencies achieve, maintain and prove compliance with FISMA, with configuration assessment against a comprehensive FISMA policy, continuous change auditing that detects undesirable change, and detailed remediation assistance for out-of-policy settings.
