PointSecure Streamlines Auditing and Helps to Ensure Compliance With Corporate Security Policies on HP Integrity Servers24 May 2006
PointSecure, a leading provider of security and auditing solutions for OpenVMS systems, today announced the availability of PointAudit version 5.2, providing a non-intrusive, easy-to-use security auditing solution for HP OpenVMS running on HP Integrity servers.
Running from a PC, PointAudit provides a no-impact solution that simplifies and automates security auditing and administration. PointAudit scans HP OpenVMS systems to provide detailed information and reports on file security, system settings, user profiles, installed products, and patches -- enabling security managers, auditors, or OpenVMS administrators to quickly and easily determine if their HP OpenVMS security settings are in compliance with corporate security policies, government regulations, or industry best practices.
PointAudit helps Open VMS security administrators and auditors:
-- Quickly and easily identify exposures and weaknesses
-- Identify resources that are out of compliance
-- Ensure regulatory compliance for security mandates such as HIPAA and
GLBA
-- More quickly resolve issues using out of-the-box recommendations
-- Establish baseline security standards
PointAudit version 5.2 offers:
-- Auditing and support for HP Integrity servers running HP OpenVMS 8.2
and above.
-- Support for layered product patches. PointAudit will check for the
layered product patches that are available from HP and compare to the
patches that are installed on the system.
-- Identification of individual patches that are installed with any HP
OpenVMS update.
-- Modified installation procedure that will better accommodate
installations on foreign systems.
PointSecure has worked closely with HP to support the Integrity server platform, which is designed to meet the most demanding performance and scalability requirements.
"As companies worldwide move to HP OpenVMS on Integrity servers, they must do so while maintaining compliance to corporate security policies or federal regulations like Sarbanes Oxley or HIPAA," said Rick Pleczko, president and CEO of PointSecure. "PointAudit provides an easy-to-use, no-impact auditing solution that can help companies quickly ensure that compliance requirements are met without fail -- before, during, and after migration."
"PointSecure's decision to port PointAudit onto HP Integrity servers running OpenVMS allows our customers to feel confident with their security auditing." said Ann McQuaid, general manager of the OpenVMS group, Business Critical Servers, HP. "With PointSecure's support for OpenVMS on HP Integrity servers, our customers can simplify security auditing of their OpenVMS environments."
