Novell Audit 2
Today, you must know—and be able to demonstrate—that your organization adheres to internal security policies, audit controls and government regulations. Novell Audit provides a secure logging and auditing foundation that delivers proof of your compliance. It collects and filters system data from a wide variety of sources, provides real-time monitoring and notification to make sure systems are being accessed and used appropriately, and includes multiple reporting options to support your administrative, auditing and regulatory processes. With the convenient centralized repository of information in Novell Audit, you can:
- Make informed decisions using a securely transmitted, centralized data log
- Strengthen security with real-time notification, customizable filters and query tools
- Ensure organization-wide compliance to both external regulations and internal policies
- Respond immediately to suspicious activity
- Prove compliance using robust reporting capabilities and audit control testing
- Simplify deployment and management with support for multiple platforms and applications
- Collect Windows system events into a centralized event store
- Integrate existing applications without the need for custom programming
You can use that data provided by Novell Audit to protect your organization from costly litigation and safeguard your most valuable corporate asset—information.
