A fundamental requirement for system security is the ability to detect and monitor activity. Recognizing this fundamental requirement, many systems and applications generate audit trail information. However, these important tasks are typically considered of secondary importance (at best). As such, they are not done properly, and do not provide adequate facilities for managing, consolidating, retaining or reporting on this valuable information.

eTrust™ Audit addresses these requirements with a audit collection mechanism that can marshal a wide range of audit trail data from a diverse set of systems, applications and appliances. In addition, eTrust Audit lets you create and manage a centralized policy regarding the retention of this valuable information and also provides the following:

  • Consolidated views of the audit information collected
  • Versatile reporting
  • Highly customizable support for creating policies that can be used to initiate alert or other actions in response to events
  • Integration with Unicenter® Event Management
  • Integration with the eTrust™ Security Command Center
