Ensuring that systems are always configured properly is critical to both compliance and security initiatives. But gaining visibility into system configurations and their compliance status is a significant challenge, especially with the rapid rate of change in enterprise networks. Additionally, demonstrating to auditors that systems are compliant can be a manual, time consuming project that is inefficient and potentially ineffective.

Our 2 Cents

CCM automates enterprise-wide configuration auditing, change analysis and file integrity monitoring, providing continuous visibility into the compliance of IT system configurations and the impact of changes. The integrated policy engine compares actual configurations to internal policy or best practice benchmarks, prioritizing the risk and compliance impact of configuration changes. Automating configuration auditing enables a greater level of security and dramatically reduces preparation time for IT audits conducted for regulations such as PCI. CCM's continuous change-centric process lowers costs and increases uptime by ensuring that systems remain configured in compliance with organizational policies.
