The RSA Conference started in 1991 as a forum for cryptographers to gather and share the latest knowledge and advancements in the area of Internet security. , Newest Features Allow Increased Web-Based Visibility and Identification of IT Configuration & Change Management Reporting PORTSMOUTH, N.H. -- Ecora Software, a leading provider of change and compliance reporting solutions to ensure IT infrastructures are secure, compliant and effective, announces new features in its flagship solution designed to reduce the high cost of compliance mandates, lower the cost of downtime, increase security, and improve operational efficiency of IT professionals. Available immediately, Ecora Auditor Professional 4.1[TM] now includes:
-- A Web-based Enterprise Reporting Center that allows Ecora
customers to gain greater visibility into their IT
environment. Previously, security, compliance, or other
managers required a centralized console with proper access
to run reports. Now, anyone with administrative privileges
can view and/or generate reports anywhere they want, at any
time, providing far greater visibility into the current
state of the enterprise.
When combined with the Ecora's Executive Dashboard(TM), a
tool that turns the collection of complex IT information
into easy-to-understand, red and green pie charts, both
technical and non-technical personnel now have a variety of
ways to view their current state of compliance to internal
and external policies and standards, greatly reducing the
mean time to resolving problems.
-- Auditor Pro's new Who Made The Change capability also adds
to enterprise configuration visibility by taking the
guesswork out of change management. Now, IT managers can
not only identify what changes were made, but identify who
is responsible for making the change. Customers can go
directly to the source to understand what authorized change
might have created unintended consequences, or identify who
inadvertently or intentionally is making unauthorized
changes in the infrastructure.
