Network Event Logging with Novell Audit 2
Product Overview
Are you in compliance? Today, you must know—and be able to demonstrate—that your organization adheres to internal security policies, audit controls, and government regulations. Novell Audit provides a secure network event logging and auditing foundation that delivers proof of your compliance. It collects and filters system data from a wide variety of sources, provides real-time monitoring and notification, and includes multiple reporting options to support your administrative, auditing, and regulatory processes. Novell Audit helps you know what's happening in your network. You can use that data to protect your organization from costly litigation and safeguard your most valuable corporate asset-information.
Novell Audit is a centralized, cross-platform, secure network event logging and auditing service. It tracks everything that occurs in your organization's systems to ensure that they are being accessed and used appropriately. Novell Audit records and reports on all security, system, and application events in your enterprise network. It also filters and monitors events, notifying you in real time if regulations are breached or certain events occur.
Make Informed Decisions
Novell Audit collects and stores an accurate, comprehensive record of your network events. It secures this data in a centralized repository, using your preferred storage method: MySQL*, JDBC, Oracle*, Microsoft* SQL, flat file, or SYSLOG. You can even configure Novell Audit to automatically filter logged information with easy-to-use, customizable filters. This log of events provides an in-depth view to help you understand what's going on in your organization. It can also trigger detective-control insights that drive your organization's compliance and help ensure its security.
Strengthen Security
Government agencies and executive boards are holding organizations to ever-higher security standards. As a result, your organization must be able to respond immediately when security policies are violated. Novell Audit provides 24x7 real-time network event monitoring. If policies or internal controls are breached, Novell Audit swiftly notifies you through e-mail, SNMP, Storage, SYSLOG, Java*, or Critical Value Reset (CVR).
Your IT personnel can then use the Novell Audit data log to forensically reconstruct the sequence of events leading up to and following the breach. With this audit trail—which is fully admissible in a court of law—your organization can prove or disprove an alleged network event and take measures to prevent such breaches in the future.
Prove Compliance
Government regulations such as the Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act (HIPAA), the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act require companies to exercise strict control over certain kinds of information. With these regulations, government agencies require proof of compliance—usually in the form of external audit reports.
Novell Audit includes several convenient reporting tools and internal control tests to help you demonstrate compliance. It also provides the ability to run pre-written Crystal Reports* that you can use without a Crystal Reports license.
Simplify Management
Novell Audit is easy to deploy and manage. It is compatible with most popular operating systems, specifically NetWare 5.1 or above; Windows* 2000, XP, or 2003; Solaris* 8 or 9; SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9; and Red Hat* Enterprise Linux. It can even be managed entirely via a Web browser. Novell Audit works out of the box with many popular Novell products, NetWare, Novell eDirectory and Novell Identity Manager. You can also use its complete set of application programming interfaces (APIs) to enable virtually any system or application—including third-party applications—to report network events to Novell Audit.
Summary
With Novell Audit, your organization can avoid making potentially false (and costly) assumptions about its adherence to regulations and policies. Instead, it can enjoy a conveniently centralized repository containing all the information it needs to ensure full compliance.
