Learning, research and collaboration demand flexible information systems and reliable all-hours access to data. Decentralized information systems, coupled with constant changes to those systems, create unique configuration control and IT change management challenges for education institutions. The expanded access required for students and faculty comes at a price - increased numbers of unauthorized changes that affect IT services stability and availability. Tripwire configuration audit and control solutions enable you to get a handle on these changes. Tripwire detects, reconciles and reports them. Not days later, but as often as you choose. You get fast notification on all undesired changes (ranked by severity), as well as information on who made the changes, when and how.

Control Risk and Improve Operational Efficiency

Tripwire solutions provide a single point of control for configuration auditing across open IT infrastructures that incorporate heterogeneous servers, desktops, notebooks, routers, switches, firewalls, and load balancers. Many universities use Tripwire to effectively control unauthorized change and close the loop in their change management processes. This, in turn, enhances system security, increases availability, simplifies management, and reduces costs. By independently profiling infrastructure and process integrity, Tripwire solutions also help you demonstrate compliance with privacy policies - a crucial consideration when dealing with student records.
