Regulatory and Policy Compliance

Virtually every organization is affected by at least one information security or data privacy regulation, which requires putting controls in place to manage their IT infrastructure across multiple functional disciplines. Although individual requirements vary between companies and industries, organizations still face the same challenges, and yet new challenges have recently emerged.

IT Operations and Security Challenges

• Lack of Visibility. Achieving accurate and complete visibility into the security postures of all endpoints, regardless of where they are or how they're connected to the corporate infrastructure.
• Real-time Identification of Non-Compliant Systems. Inability to easily identify systems that are non-compliant to corporate policy and quickly respond to remediate mis-configurations, missing patches, invalid or non-updated antivirus DAT definition, or invalid software installed on the systems.
• Too Many Tools. Managing the complexity, overhead, and impact of many different security solutions for meeting and proving compliance. Lack of effective communication and common tools used to identify system-related security issues identified on endpoints and easily correlating them to compliance initiatives.
• Maintaining Continuous Enforcement. Continuous enforcement of policy throughout a distributed environment and ensuring compliance even when endpoints are off network
• Configuration Drift. Reducing the risks associated with "configuration drift", as endpoints continuously enter and leave the network.

The BigFix Approach

Organizations can eliminate the challenges and reduce the costs associated with managing compliance by leveraging the BigFix Unified Management Platform to help increase visibility, centrally manage all endpoints, and remediate issues identified on any managed asset. IT Operations and IT Security can leverage a unified assessment, remediation, and reporting tool to foster communication and ensure accuracy of reporting against compliance initiatives.

• Comprehensive visibility into the compliance state of all assets throughout the infrastructure in real-time.
• Continuous automated enforcement of endpoint compliance policy regardless of network connectivity – protect systems on or off network in any location any time.
• Single, unified agent to provide complete assessment and remediation functions in real-time for all functional areas inclusive to Security Configuration Management, Vulnerability Assessment, Patch Management, Rogue Device Discovery, Device Control.
• Minimal infrastructure with one server, one console, one agent – designed to scale to hundreds of thousands of endpoints with ease of management across LAN, WAN, VPN, Satellite, Dial-up, and other connectivity mechanisms.
• Thousands of out of the box policies with assessment and remediation capabilities mapped to specific industry standards and regulations.
• Identification of rogue assets and devices anywhere on the network with precision and accuracy.
