Tripwire gives you an independent solution that provides a single point of management control for configuration auditing across a distributed retail (or any other credit card-based) environment. Using Tripwire Enterprise, you can detect, reconcile and report change to prove compliance with industry standards such as the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard.

Tripwire helps you ensure that servers adhere to the requirements for protecting customer information. Tripwire specifically addresses PCI requirements to:

• Track and monitor all access to network resources and cardholder data
• Regularly test security systems and processes
• Maintain a policy that addresses information security

Such protection is vitally important. A breach in cardholder information security can lead to a serious loss of confidence and customers, not to mention a substantial fine. Remember, too, that the state of your systems affects just about everything: business processes, information accuracy, and confidentiality, as well as compliance with PCI DSS regulations. Unplanned or unauthorized IT changes, not to mention intrusions, put it all at risk. So make sure you catch these changes by using Tripwire. Our software independently detects, reconciles and reports all manual and automated (e.g., provisioning software) changes.

Improve Accountability and Audit Preparedness with Configuration Auditing and Resolution

Tripwire solutions give you a powerful tool for accountability and regulatory compliance audits. Tripwire securely records a history of IT changes to ensure audit preparedness and regulatory compliance. Alerts improve security by letting you know immediately when anything changes on vital information systems. A single point of control gives you visibility across the entire information infrastructure to quickly identify, diagnose and verify changes, as well as restore systems to a known good state if necessary. The end result? An ongoing process of IT configuration auditing and resolution that maintains the kind of stable, trustworthy operations required by today's regulatory bodies.
