PointSecure, the leading provider of security, compliance, and intrusion detection solutions for Open VMS systems, today announced the release of System Detective v8.4, an new version of the company's flagship product offering host-based intrusion detection, real-time security monitoring and access control for OpenVMS systems.
System Detective v8.4 offers the OpenVMS administrators the ability to centralize of all OpenVMS log files via remote node storage. By centralizing all session logs and event databases,
OpenVMS administrators can save hours of time managing, reviewing, and generating global reports regarding critical OpenVMS system information.
PointSecure System Detective Version 8.4 also offers these new features which help to enhance the security of an OpenVMS environment:
* Enhanced Protection of System Detective Files: Session log files can now be protected to prevent log file modification or abuse.
* Search & Autoprocess Log Files: A New SYSDET command allows administrators to search and select session log files based on certain criteria and create a single easy to read file for
later review.
* Events entered in Session Log File: Events generated by System Detective are now entered into the session log file as well as the event database. These events can be output, played
back, and formatted in a standard event display.
* Enhanced Actions to Control Rule Evaluation: New actions provide more flexibility allowing the exclusion of rules to be turned on or off in a section, and the evaluation of idle rules
to be turned on or off for a given process.
System Detective provides a powerful defense mechanism against internal and external security threats by helping to enforce and ensure compliance with defined security policies on OpenVMS
systems. System Detective helps administrators proactively manage security by recording session activity, managing unattended inactive terminal sessions, restricting access to sensitive
data files or executable images, and by monitoring, assisting, or taking control of selected user sessions.
