Monitoring Privileged Users with NetIQ Change Guardian for Windows

Are the biggest threats to corporate compliance your own users?

Monitoring your privileged users is a best practice in IT and a requirement for complying with a number of standards, including the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Many of the current monitoring approaches, such as native auditing, file integrity checking or kernel shims, can fail to provide either the necessary security or can cause problems of their own. So, how can you ensure compliance, monitor your users and still keep your systems operational?

NetIQ Change Guardian for Windows™ provides a new approach to monitoring privileged user activity on your Windows servers, without the need for native auditing.

In this thirty minute webinar, you will learn:

  • Why organizations have to perform more detailed monitoring of their files and the activities of their users
  • Recent, well-publicized events that show where current approaches to system security monitoring have failed
  • How NetIQ Change Guardian for Windows provides invaluable, real-time insight into what is going on across your Windows servers

Mapping Regulations: One Size Does Not Fit All

While companies are facing a growing number of regulations, they are not receiving detailed instructions or specific checklists on how to comply. Companies need solutions to help them break down regulations into standards, best practices and controls that add bulk and definition to vague regulatory mandates.

NetIQ provides solutions that enable companies to apply the right controls to their IT infrastructure and automate reporting to demonstrate regulatory compliance. Join us to learn how NetIQ solutions can help your organization define and implement information security controls, then report against them to assess compliance.

This webinar will also introduce new policy templates delivered in NetIQ Vulnerability Manager™. This powerful solution not only maps regulations to standards and best practices for use in complying with Sarbanes-Oxley, PCI and HIPAA regulations but also delivers:

  • Embedded knowledge, via built-in checks, that assess the state of your systems against specific regulations and standards

  • Reports that show which systems are the highest risk for non-compliance

Expand your compliance knowledge.


The More You Know, The Faster You Can Respond

Exposure times and risk levels from threats and vulnerabilities can be minimized when the IT operations and security teams have the information that helps them to know how to mitigate an incident or anomaly. When organizations fail to document how they responded to incidents, the staff has to "reeducate" themselves each time a similar problem occurs.

Join us to learn how NetIQ Security Manager's extensive security incident knowledge base helps you respond faster, allows you to also retain newly discovered knowledge, and ensures that your operations and security teams have the most accurate and relevant information at their fingertips. You will learn:

  • The average length of time an organization spends on investigating security incidents and anomalies.
  • What kind of information is stored within NetIQ Security Manager's already extensive knowledge base and how it will save you time in responding to threats.
  • How you can expand the knowledge with information particular to your organization, its processes and your experiences.

Expand your knowledge.
