NetVision NVAssess
NVAssess automates periodic security audits of controls and identity rights across diverse network infrastructures. Fulfill your IT governance and Government compliance requirements by using NVAssess to review your control designs and effectiveness. NVAssess allows you to capture system settings according to detailed policies. Improve your visibility into user entitlements by scheduling assessment of dormant accounts, administrative group membership, directory permissions and more.
Are non-finance users accessing financial applications?
Is the directory server configured according to security best practices? Do passwords meet
requirements for length and reset interval? Are accounts dormant for longer than 90 days?
Periodic security audits of identity infrastructure to answer these
and other questions are critical for both compliance and risk assessment. However, many organizations
have found that manually collecting, formatting, analyzing, and reporting security information
across diverse systems is a slow, expensive endeavor. There is a clear need to automate the
identity management security audit process.
NVAssess automates periodic security audits across network infrastructures by comparing the
actual information stored within enterprise directories and file servers to corporate security policies.
User provisioning, role management, access control, password management and other identity related
policies and processes can all be automatically audited from a single, unified console.
NVAssess reports analyze password policies, group memberships, access history, system configurations
and a range of other identity variables. By auditing actual identity information stored within
the directory – rather than the individual systems (provisioning, etc.) and
applications (SAP, etc.) designed to control those values –
NVAssess reduces costs, improves audit integrity, and lowers risk.
Complete, Unified Auditing & Security
When combined with NetVision's NVMonitor real-time event monitoring, NVAssess enables the industry's
only unified model for identity audit covering identity-related security controls, user behavior
and the power granted to users.
Additionally, because NVAssess supports both Microsoft and Novell environments, it is ideal for
heterogeneous network environments.
