IBM has unveiled IBM Tivoli Compliance Insight
Manager to help firms with information security audits and
compliance.
The software will help companies track, report and investigate
non-compliant behaviour across their enterprises.
It monitors user behaviour in comparison to policies for
compliance purposes, automatically providing alerts when
information or technology assets are at risk, when data or systems
are inappropriately accessed, or if security policies have been
violated.
Security audit and compliance management have become a
significant burden to IT organisations, as laws and regulations
such as
Sarbanes-Oxley,
Basel II,
HIPAA and others, force businesses to collect information to
demonstrate that proper internal controls are being deployed and
enforced.
Big Blue said IBM Tivoli Compliance Insight Manager provides a
broad-based solution for enterprise security audit and compliance
management, with automated log collection, a compliance dashboard,
"out of the box" regulatory compliance reports, and flexible report
distribution.
An addition to IBM's
IT Governance & Risk Management portfolio, the new software
expands on the capabilities of
Consul InSight, the flagship software suite of Consul risk
management, which
IBM acquired in January this year.
IBM Tivoli Compliance Insight Manager will be available
worldwide from 6 July.
