The Tripwire Enterprise for File Systems and Desktops components assess configurations of physical and virtual server and desktop file systems, including their security settings, configuration parameters, and permissions. Tripwire bases its policies on settings recommended by respected organizations such as the Center for Internet Security (CIS) and the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST). When used in conjunction with Tripwire's tunable change detection, IT has a single solution that ensures visibility and accountability for all configuration control activity on a wide range of platforms. And because Tripwire Enterprise agents take advantage of local processing power, a cached baseline database, and correlated package analysis, Tripwire's solution provides configuration control across the enterprise with minimal impact on network bandwidth.
With increased visibility through real-time or scan-based tunable change detection, Tripwire Enterprise for File Systems and for Desktops enable staff to quickly reconcile all changes with authorized work orders and focus remediation efforts on the unauthorized changes. These components identify what changed, who made the change, when, and how the change was made. They support service quality and security initiatives, as well as providing auditable data that simplifies IT audit preparation.
