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 (ISO17799, 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.
