DetectIT - Security Audit & Detection
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, without constant real time monitoring and alerting, businesses are potentially exposed to unauthorized system access, illegal configuration changes and data manipulation. Left undetected, these events can have serious repercussions on the business, exposing the company and executives to financial penalties.
IBM System i (AS/400) captures an extraordinary amount of data from everyday system activities. Extracting critical security events from raw journal/log data and correlating these events with potential threats requires a large amount of time and manual resource.
The Solution
Safestone’s Security Audit & Detection is a configurable monitoring and reporting tool for converting raw System i data into relevant security information. As well as producing archival audit trails of critical events, it can instantly notify you of any regulatory non-compliance or security issues so that you can respond to threats immediately.
Key Benefits
- Tells you what you need to know as it happens: instant event notification allows reaction to security violations as they happen.
- Shows auditors the events they need to see: a number of on-demand event reports are instantly available to auditors.
- Helps institute best practice audit and monitoring controls: all best practice security standards (including ISO27002, CobiT) require the implementation of auditing and monitoring methodology as part of responsible IT governance.
- Captures critical security events: filters automatically sift through thousands of pages of raw data to report only the important events.
- Archives data for forensic investigations: allows the re-opening of previous security incidents for interrogation.
- Monitor powerful users: keep constant track of users with special privileges.
- Provides alerts directly to mobile users: SMS and email notifications can alert administrators no matter where they are.
