Intelligent
System Baseline Management (SBM)
Intelligent
System Baseline Management technology
for computer systems goes beyond today’s
point solutions that provide isolated
protection against human error, data
transmission errors, software bugs,
malicious code such as viruses and
worms, or hardware malfunctions. Virtually
every industry in the world today
has computers in mission critical
roles that require a systematic approach
to both managing business risk and
minimizing cost, and virtually every
organization is employing a set of
these point solutions. Still there
are chronic security and compliance
issues across all industries and IT
support remains the largest component
of IT total cost. These point solutions
are not getting the job done. The
need for the broader control scope
and holistic visibility offered by
SBM technology is being driven by
the enterprise need to focus IT resources
proactively on assuring continuous
operations that directly impact the
bottom line.

The
SBM solution being sought globally is
a systematic approach to comprehensively
controlling the integrity of computer
functionality in an enterprise. The
multi-faceted question that is looking
for an answer today is “Are my
computer systems OK?”, whether
the source of concern is production,
security or regulatory compliance.
SBM technology enables IT organizations
to define comprehensively what “OK”
means for their systems, provides a
visible picture for system or security
administrators of what is “OK”
and is not “OK” on an ongoing
basis, and then enables them to actually
make all of their systems “OK”
from a central control point.
The objective of SBM is to prevent unwanted
alterations to data, to detect unwanted
modifications or deletions and to respond
and recover from these alterations or
deletions immediately as they occur,
minimizing disruption in production,
security or compliance needs.
SBM is accomplished by proactively sorting
through hundreds of thousands of configuration
attributes on each computer in a population
of computers enabling system administrators
to quickly identify undesirable situations
while providing workflow capabilities
that enable the administrator to respond
and enforce target configuration baseline
states.
From
a management perspective, the TrueBaseline
StatePointPlus® Software Suite
provides an organization with:
- manageability
of configuration deviations that
have mission impact
- accurate knowledge
of the current IT environment
- actual progress
of on-going IT initiatives
- a reference
against which continuous improvement
can be defined
- a benchmark
of configuration dynamics over time
across the enterprise to help chart
future baseline management strategies.
From a technical
perspective this technology includes
the capability to:
- provide a deep
dive view of system configurations
across the enterprise
- establish “baselines”
against which the systems are constantly
checked and controlled
- detect critical
changes to files, registries, processes,
and services, while at the same
time revealing how many times that
critical change happened across
the enterprise
- gather real-time
diagnostic information from systems
en masse
- recover from
unwanted critical changes and provide
administrators with the details
on when, how and what changes were
made.
As a result,
your organization will:
- Boost IT support
with limited resources
- Continually
strengthen and status your security
program
- Lower business
risk in both product and production
- Demonstrate
regulatory compliance
