IT Change Management
Effective change controls are the cornerstone of good IT governance. Detecting unmanaged changes, and enforcing controls on system configurations reduces the risks of unmanaged changes that can leave an organization susceptible to insider attacks, accidental damages and audit failures. This can be mitigated by:
- Baselining system configurations and periodically benchmarking them
- Monitoring changes in real-time and automating responses to suspect changes
- Controlling change privileges in Active Directory
NetIQ’s solution provides controls and capabilities to ensure system changes occur in a managed and secure manner, and that critical hosts are securely configured in compliance with enterprise policies.
