nCircle Releases Configuration Auditing Packages for Retail and PCI
Packages deliver automated File Integrity Compliance and Point of Sale configuration auditing
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 11 -- nCircle today announced new configuration auditing and file integrity monitoring options designed for the retail sector and businesses subject to PCI. The packages provide two new capabilities: an agentless configuration auditing solution for retail stores with point of sale systems such as cash registers, and a file integrity compliance option for organizations that want to get started with PCI compliance quickly and easily. The new packages streamline compliance monitoring processes by automating processes that were previously either manual or simply not possible. The new package is based on nCircle Configuration Compliance Manager, the industry's leading agentless configuration audition solution and part of the nCircle security risk and compliance suite.
"Configuration auditing has traditionally been difficult or impossible for point of sale systems, and the PCI Data Security Standard requires merchants to monitor the integrity of critical files," said Mark Wood, VP of Product Management at nCircle. "nCircle's Configuration Compliance Manager product has long had these capabilities, but these new packages make it even easier for our customers to get started monitoring their security and ensure compliance at the lowest possible cost."
"nCircle has a great solution for configuration auditing on point of sale systems and for file integrity compliance," said Shekar Swamy, President, American Technology Corporation, a St. Louis based company specializing in PCI compliance solutions. "nCircle's solutions combined with our services offering provides an easy solution to PCI compliance."
Configuration auditing provides continuous system auditing to discover system configurations and detect changes. nCircle's unique solution performs configuration auditing without requiring software agents to be installed on the monitored system, a key requirement for most point of sale systems such as cash registers. nCircle's file integrity compliance capability is also agentless, and enables the monitoring of specific files on a system for changes. File integrity compliance is mandatory under the PCI Data Security Standard.
