Compuware Introduces Application Auditing Solution for Risk Management
DETROIT-January 16, 2007-Compuware Corporation (NASDAQ: CPWR) today introduced the company's Application Auditing solution, which uses Compuware Hiperstation to address mainframe data and application security issues with internal, authorized users.
Today, the biggest security threat facing organizations is internal, and companies have a bottom-line need to protect both their customers and their business from data privacy breaches. Even if a company has a plan in place to prevent unauthorized users from accessing data, it needs a solution that provides insight into the actions of trusted users.
According to Dr. Larry Ponemon, Chairman and Founder of the Ponemon Institute, "Our research shows that insider threats represent one of the most difficult management challenges for data security and privacy professionals. Detecting, deterring and mitigating the insider threat within a complex organization cannot happen without using enabling technologies like Compuware's application auditing solutions."
With Compuware's solution for Application Auditing, organizations can capture the activity between authorized users and applications. This information provides an audit trail that can be used to investigate details of a security breach and to pinpoint those customers affected, ultimately minimizing the problem. This solution builds on Compuware's application security leadership and award-winning products by enabling IT organizations to proactively address the enterprise application security challenge.
"As an IT Auditor, I see Compuware Hiperstation for Application Auditing as a proactive defense tool. By recording end-user application activity, a company can prevent and investigate fraud and data security breaches--helping to reduce the potential for significant damage," said Paul Haley, IT Auditor, CISA. "Compuware Hiperstation's detailed forensic information and audit reports are indispensable tools that provide indisputable proof that can be used to detect problems or policy violations; prevent incidents from becoming larger; and reduce the scope of an incident response."
Compuware's approach to application auditing is unique because Hiperstation is directly connected to the mainframe operating system. This means that it can handle the significant, production-type load necessary for an effective Application Auditing solution. In fact, customers have used Compuware Hiperstation to record over eight million transactions per day.
"Compuware's solution helps contain the impact of a data breach, lower the cost of regulatory compliance and reduce risk and liability, allowing users to contain the problem and keep more business intact," said Mark Schettenhelm, Product Manager, Compuware. "Compuware Hiperstation is a proven solution for Application Auditing, as evidenced by customers who have used this technology for more than ten years to record all application activity. The quality and quantity of information provided by Compuware Hiperstation has even allowed customers to employ these audit trails as information in legal proceedings."
Compuware will host a web cast on Wednesday, January 24, 2007, titled, "Take IT Security One Step Further--Investigating Internal Data Breaches." Dr. Larry Ponemon, Chairman and Founder of the Ponemon Institute, will participate in the webcast and address the many costs of a data breach, regulatory compliance and how the Compuware solution for Application Auditing takes IT security one step further than traditional approaches by capturing authorized internal application activity. This webcast will take place at 9:00 a.m. EST and 2:00 p.m. EST. For more information and to register for this web cast, please visit: http://www.compuware.com/applicationa....
