Historical Stock Chart
From Jun 2019 to Jun 2024
Includes CIS, NSA Benchmarks; Shavlik Patch Integration
Enhancing IT security compliance for databases and messaging
applications, BindView Corp. (NASDAQ:BVEW) announced today rich new
additions to its Policy and Compliance Management portfolio.
Compliance Center 2.1 helps organizations translate the generalities
of regulatory mandates into specific IT security controls that can be
documented and enforced for demonstrating due care.
In global enterprises, critical data ranging from financial,
customer and corporate information resides in databases and
mission-critical messaging applications. The onslaught of malicious
thefts and attacks, coupled with stringent guidelines for meeting
regulatory mandates, requires that organizations closely safeguard
information and data stores. Coupled with highly regarded benchmarks
from the Center for Internet Security (CIS) and the National Security
Agency (NSA), Compliance Center 2.1 provides prescriptive guidance for
managing IT controls, and meeting regulatory guidelines and audit due
care.
"In recent weeks, several high-profile organizations have lost
millions of dollars in market cap erosion and witnessed the departure
of core customers as a result of data breaches," said BindView Senior
Vice President of Worldwide Marketing Steve Kahan. "Protecting these
core assets has never been more critical for organizations as they
scrutinize their IT security compliance risk posture. Compliance
Center provides IT security and operations teams with definitive
capabilities for meeting these requirements, without the need for
high-level security expertise or a significant time investment."
Organizations using Remedy(R) or HP(R) Service Desk can address
compliance and security issues with improved efficiency using
connectors into Compliance Center. With its closed-loop remediation
capabilities, Operations and IT groups are able to interface and track
required system changes to confirm corrective action is complete and
accurate. BindView's Compliance Center automatically generates
remediation assignments based on criticality, then re-evaluates
out-of-compliance systems to confirm that required tasks are
completed.
