DetectIT - Network Traffic Controller
The Challenge
Businesses operating in today’s dynamic economies are subject to increasing compliance regulations (Sarbanes-Oxley, PCI, Basel II, HIPAA) and information security standards (ISO27002, COBIT). As a result, businesses are required to identify and report on user access to data and applications from intelligent terminals whether they are remote systems or mobile devices. This issue has become increasingly highlighted as the business moves towards more open computing, resulting in the System i being accessed more frequently via PC’s, laptops, and other types of networked devices.
Without appropriate checks and controls, the business is vulnerable to unauthorised access to critical information, configuration changes and data manipulation. Undetected these events can have serious repercussions on the business, leaving company and executives exposed to financial penalties.
The Solution
Safestone’s DetectIT Network Traffic Controller is a very powerful exit point management and reporting tool that monitors and controls how remote access requests are processed on System i. The module allows you to customise how and when users can access the system via remote connections such as FTP, ODBC, TELNET, etc. This allows the business to maintain security control in line with corporate policy.
Key Benefits
- Reduces PCI compliance risks: allows an auditor to see which users attempted to access what files, when, and from where.
- Blocks external threats: Complete control of when and how users are granted access.
- Tracks where users go: reports on users movements around the system.
- Protects against user experimentation: immediate alerts if users are attempting to uncover potential security holes.
- Anticipates access problems: ‘what if’ processing determines potential access errors prior to their occurrence within a live environment.
- Instant notification of access violation: instant event notification allows reaction to access violations as they happen.
