NetIQ Change Guardian
Protect critical data, reduce risk and manage change with NetIQ Change Guardian
Reducing risk to sensitive data and vital infrastructure is your number one goal. The greatest threat comes from unmanaged changes to files and systems that weaken enterprise security, leave systems vulnerable, and could leave the door wide open to a crippling insider attack.
NetIQ Change Guardian products provide real-time detection of unmanaged change to files, system configurations, and Active Directory, to ensure your security teams can proactively protect sensitive corporate information and customer data both from external hackers and insiders—the most damaging vector for malicious attack or accidental damage.
Change Guardian solutions provide powerful:
- File integrity monitoring
- Database Activity Monitoring
- Change detection
- Privileged user monitoring
- Active Directory protection
- Group Policy Object security enhancements
Unmanaged change to the configuration of critical systems and infrastructure represents a significant and growing risk to the security of organizational data, customer information and system stability. Yet many security information and event management (SIEM) deployments have failed to meet these challenges in a cost-effective way.
Change Guardian complements all leading SIEM solutions to enhance your security team's ability to detect any unmanaged changes and respond efficiently to vastly reduce the risk of malicious activity and support comprehensive data protection.
Leveraged in conjunction with traditional SIEM solutions, Change Guardian detects that a change has occurred, and instantly enables administrators to see who made the change, when, and what the before—and after-values of those changes were to reduce time spent gathering information, accelerate decision making, and reduce risk of breaches.
Change Guardian provides the information necessary to make intelligent decisions, fast, to limit the risk of corporate data loss and maximize the return on your existing security investments.
