nCircle Unveils Agentless Security Configuration Compliance Solution
nCircle Configuration Compliance Manager Delivers Configuration Policy Compliance and Customizable Objective Mappings for ISO 17799, COBIT, BS 7799, and SAS-70 Frameworks
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 11 - nCircle, the leading provider of enterprise-class security risk and compliance management solutions, announced today the nCircle Configuration Compliance Manager, a new product and services offering that extends nCircle's agentless vulnerability and risk management technology to provide integrated security configuration compliance with common standards and frameworks. With this release, nCircle delivers a solution that can be customized to meet the specific demands of global enterprises while greatly decreasing the time and cost associated with achieving regulatory and security policy compliance.
nCircle's market-leading, agentless technology discovers all IP-enabled devices on customers' global networks and their associated operating systems, applications, vulnerabilities, and configurations, enabling unprecedented security risk and compliance visibility. The nCircle Configuration Compliance Manager adds customizable configuration checks that map directly to common standards and frameworks including ISO 17799, COBIT, BS 7799, and SAS-70.
Mark Nicolett, Gartner vice president and distinguished analyst noted in his co-authored research report Best Practices for Network Vulnerability Assessment, "Increasingly, compliance is motivating organizations to gain better visibility into their security posture and operational controls, and to report against security policies and controls."
"In addition to providing visibility into the hosts on our network, nCircle enables us to identify systems on the network that are non-compliant with current company security and configuration policy," said Joel Shulman, Principal, L&J Computing, Inc., contractor for a large automobile manufacturer. "nCircle helps us automate the information gathering process necessary to manage a large risk management program. It automates many of the audits for very time-consuming controls required to effectively manage risk."
The nCircle Configuration Compliance Manager delivers a rapid and sizeable return on investment for enterprises struggling to meet auditors' requests for detailed compliance reporting and analysis. The complete nCircle security risk management and compliance product line now automates discovery and reporting of over 10,000 security and configuration conditions on every device on a network.
Unlike legacy solutions that require agent software to be installed on each device for gathering configuration data, nCircle's patented, agentless technology remotely discovers and assesses every device on a global network, even including devices that can never run agents, such as printers and routers. The result is a more scalable, cost effective solution that is easier to manage and maintain across even the largest global networks. When coupled with the integrated nCircle Topology Risk Analyzer, line-of-sight network context is added for an order of magnitude improvement in prioritized remediation and compliance efforts. The new configuration compliance offering from nCircle also includes assistance from nCircle's world-class professional services team to assist customers with customized configuration checks, best practices, and selecting appropriate standards and framework mappings for their environment.
"Regulatory and internal security policy compliance now dominates the focus of security teams in today's large enterprises," notes Tim "TK" Keanini, CTO of nCircle. "nCircle's new Configuration Compliance Manager will decrease the time and cost associated with achieving continuous compliance by automating host configuration discovery and assessment and mapping the results to control objectives for common frameworks such as COBIT, ISO 17799, BS 7799, and SAS70."
