distributed services management software, today announced ChangeAuditor 3.0,
a major upgrade to its highly regarded auditing solution for Windows-based
networks. ChangeAuditor 3.0 includes a base pack for Microsoft Active

time. ChangeAuditor will be generally available March 31, 2006.
"Whether defining security policies, staying ahead of the regulatory

native audit event logs. ChangeAuditor provides real-time, detailed
forensics on exactly what types of changes are occurring, as well as the
most critical highlights about each change. These details include who made

ChangeAuditor also provides intelligent event translation, enabling users to
understand instantly, without lengthy interpretation, the significance and
potential consequence of changes. ChangeAuditor includes a comprehensive
audit library with automated alerts and custom audit reports that can be
tailored to meet specific regulatory compliance requirements.
