Enhanced Security Auditing and Compliance Reporting for HP OpenVMS Systems Launced by PointSecure

(Feb 06, 2008)-- PointAudit version 6.0, a non-intrusive, easy-to-use, security auditing solution for HP OpenVMS running on HP Integrity servers was released by PointSecure, provider of security and auditing solutions for OpenVMS systems. PointAudit version 6.0 now offers the industry's most powerful OpenVMS security, auditing, compliance reporting and analysis capabilities.

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 user account settings, file security, system settings, 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 security administrators and auditors:

-- Quickly and easily identify exposures and weaknesses on OpenVMS systems
-- 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

With PointAudit version 6.0, all audit data that PointAudit collects from an OpenVMS system is stored in a SQL Server backend database, enabling OpenVMS administrators or auditors to build comprehensive audit reports, to easily compare audit data with a pre-defined set of policies or rules. PointAudit will quickly find and report on any discrepancies between the audit data and corporate policy. PointAudit version 6.0 also offers new default policy rules that make it easy to implement industry best practice security policies.
