Number one on our list is the concept of change noise. Whereby benign or unimportant changes are logged in the TE system; and possibly alerts generated for. Of course change detection and alerting is the core purpose of FIM File Integrity Monitoring solutions, however most security teams are not interested in Windows Updates or patching for well-known applications.
FIM solutions which do not have a change noise minimisation capability, put all changes together and leave the security team to decipher the results. Sifting through hundreds, possibly thousands of changes looking for something suspicious is an tedious task, if not impossible.
A needle in a haystack comes to mind. Alternative solutions such as NNTs F. Only those not present in the database remain for investigation.
I must admit that I have a particular dislike for Java which means that no solution using this outdated technology would be favourable in my eyes.
One thing that really bugs me and some of the customers which we spoke with, is that the JRE is constantly requiring security patching. Adding additional overhead on already stretched IT staff. Pair this with point one, regarding change noise and not only do you have a number of JREs to update every week but you will also be notified by Tripwire Enterprise that you applied the patch. To be fair to Tripwire, they have released a new agent which no longer relies on the JRE.
But, with hundreds of thousands if not millions of agents to be updated, a JRE based agent is still a reality for most. A significant challenge for many TE customers is that the user interface is particularly difficult to get along with.
Are there waivers or exceptions in place? Systems can be temporarily non-compliant due to upgrades, system status or business processes.
Policy Manager allows security managers to create and track waivers to temporarily override failing policy scores, while still flagging these exceptions and noting them in reports and dashboards. Customizable Policies and Tests Policy customization allows Tripwire Enterprise users to establish custom weights for test scores, create scoring thresholds and determine which policy test results need to be flagged and examined.
With customizable policy tests, IT security teams can customize an industry-standard policy into a security policy that fits their specific needs.
If your test process does get credentialed, how can you be sure these credentials will be used only as needed? Automated Security Configuration Remediation Saves Time and Money Two things plague IT security and operations teams on a daily basis: The time it takes to get new systems into a production-ready state because they must remediate scores of configuration settings before the platform even gets propped up; and the risk that accumulates when configuration items drift from their proper, secure state and stay that ways for days, weeks or even months.
A Core Component of the Tripwire Enterprise Suite Remediation Manager provides a fast, safe way to get new systems into a production-ready, secure state in a fraction of the time it takes using manual methods or even automated deployment scripts.
Many of the things security professionals do are out of self-defense. Not doing them is simply not an option. Remediation Manager, on the other hand, makes a direct and sizeable reduction in the time it takes to prepare or repair configuration settings—a reduction that equates to direct cost savings. To transition from one interface to the other—from assessing to repairing—requires one simple click. Role-Based Workflows Change approval is a serious process.
Remediation Manager accommodates this through built-in, easy-to-understand, multi-user sign-off processes that make every action traceable and reportable. Work-Order Based Remediation Remediation tasks often require IT staff members to work across IT organizational boundaries, which means they also need an intuitive and streamlined way to track and communicate remediation tasks.
In Remediation Manager, remediation work orders make it easy to manage various tasks—for example, review, approval, or completion report—as one or more users executes them. These users can easily see and track their responsibilities in personalized instances of the user interface. Extensive Policy Support Remediation Manager repairs configuration items across a broad array of platforms and policies. Built-in Remediation Reports Remediation Manager comes with a pre-built series of reports to trace every aspect of the remediation process, from the original configuration test failure to work order creation, sign offs, and re-tests.
Reports can be easily tailored to meet the needs of compliance assessors, operations approvers, or IT security directors. Toggle navigation. Contact Us. Get a Quote. ArcSight ESM normalizes the message and then applies correlation rules to determine the next course of action.
