3.6 Using the Security Agent for UNIX

Securing and monitoring performance of your UNIX and Linux environments can be expensive and time-consuming. The following are the most common issues that enterprise performance and security managers experience:

  • Deficits in staff knowledge concerning UNIX and Linux security and system expertise

  • Managing various operating systems including Red Hat, AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, and SUSE Linux

  • Controlling access to privileged commands and sensitive resources

  • Lacking intrusion detection and response systems to handle both real and potential security breaches

The Security Agent for UNIX helps you effectively address these challenges by enabling NetIQ Change Guardian to monitor the configuration and risk compliance of your UNIX and Linux environments.
