| Activeworx Security Center v3.6 Released CrossTec has released version 3.6 of Activeworx Security Center, its security information and event management software solution. The upgrade includes over 50 new reports and report templates, support for ten additional devices, enhanced windows event log collection and time zone normalization for better enterprise-wide log management. The upgrade builds upon the Activeworx foundation of providing simple ways to comply with federal regulations; analyze and share real-time security data; and efficiently manage and protect networks. When events are collected by Activeworx, the time zone is now adjusted to GMT. This allows all internal processing within the manager - including the Activeworx Correlation Engine - to base the event on a normalized, common time zone. When events are later stored, they are converted back to the time zone that is assigned to that database. A popular feature in Activeworx is its extensive collection of useful compliance reports. The product includes over 200 reports for GLBA, Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA and PCI. The new version adds another 50 reports and new report templates. These new reports display information such as virus information, systems that have been updated, user accounts locked out, and more. ASC v3.6 has added 15 new devices to its already extensive list of supported security tools. Included in the new version is support for Harris Stat, McAfee Virus, ePolicy Orchestrator and Windows Vista. The Activeworx Windows event log collector has been expanded to display the current status for each Windows host. It also has the ability to test WMI connectivity from within the Activeworx Desktop and quickly change between the different methods of connectivity. The event log collector is enhanced to better handle server connectivity and pull events that could have been possibly lost during a connectivity issue. Activeworx v3.6 integrates with the add-on product IDS Policy Manager v2. IDS Policy Manager has been the standard in managing Snort policies on Windows since its release 6 years ago. This provides users with a fully integrated Snort event management and policy management solution. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Computing News :: home page |
