Organizations today are subject to a growing number of information security standards such as PCI DSS and ISO 27000 series, and government regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, GLBA, and FISMA.
Sentinel extends its compliance monitoring capability by integrating seamlessly with your existing security management solutions, such as NetIQ Secure Configuration Manager (SCM). Integration with Secure Configuration Manager helps you to assess system configurations against regulatory requirements, security best practices, and corporate IT policies to demonstrate compliance and manage information security risk. This integration helps you to view the security and audit information from both Sentinel and Secure Configuration Manager in a single interface.
Sentinel can automatically receive events from Secure Configuration Manager without further configuration if Secure Configuration Manager is properly configured to send them to Sentinel. However, you must configure Sentinel to receive compliance details associated with the Secure Configuration Manager events. For information about configuring Sentinel to receive compliance details from Secure Configuration Manager, see Viewing Compliance to Configuration Policies
in the NetIQ Sentinel Administration Guide.
