Managing compliance successfully requires monitoring, analyzing, and storing log and event data—such as access to sensitive information, user authentication tracking, and device configuration changes. All this information must be readily available for forensic analysis, auditing, and reporting.
SolarWinds Security Event Manager (SEM) helps make it easy to meet network security monitoring and log management requirements imposed by many auditing authorities. Using real-time log analysis and cross-event correlation from sources throughout your entire infrastructure, SolarWinds SEM is designed to quickly uncover policy violations, identify attacks, and highlight threats. SEM provides the security, collection, monitoring, and real-time responses required to help ensure compliance with industry regulations and corporate policies.
SolarWinds Security Event Manager provides the real-time monitoring and audit trail required by most regulations to support IT compliance. SEM collects and monitors activity logs from your users, network elements, databases, and applications to help you discover potential compliance violations. The rich UI also supports drag-and-drop, data visualization, and interactive search for ease of use.
Other SEM features designed to support IT compliance management include:
Compliance management security is a vital risk management solution for preventing and mitigating cybersecurity threats and data breaches.
Staying up to date with compliance management security is important for meeting required regulations and avoiding fines or other consequences. In many cases, organizations must adhere to the regulatory compliance laid out by governments and industries. Failure to adhere to these compliance requirements in business processes can result in fines, remediation programs, lawsuits, and more. With compliance management software to address breaches, companies can better keep their reputations intact and avoid being subject to penalties.
Finally, IT compliance management gives IT and security teams a better overall understanding of their organization’s IT infrastructure and creates a clear distinction between IT and security departments, which helps each team perform their roles more effectively. Compliance management software can also create a more efficient process through improved incident response, reduced IT risk, and improved utilization of existing security and IT investments.
IT compliance management software helps IT and other compliance-adjacent teams within an organization streamline the process by automating security and policy monitoring and reporting, to ensure industry-defined regulatory requirements are effectively enforced.
Successfully engaging with compliance management must involve monitoring, analyzing, and storing log and event data. This can include data related to sensitive information access, user authentication tracking, and changes in device configuration. For compliance risk management solutions to work effectively, all this information must be available to make analyzing, auditing, and reporting a seamless process.
Compliance management software parses through data across a given network and detects any discrepancies or potential threats to IT compliance management. As an example, SEM uses real-time log analysis and cross-event correlation from sources throughout an entire infrastructure to quickly uncover policy violations, identify attacks, and highlight potential threats.
Once the compliance management software has confirmed a compliance violation, it will take the appropriate corrective action to maintain compliance requirements. IT compliance management software like SolarWinds Security Event Manager will also aid organizations in the process of creating a compliance report, which is necessary to meet specific industry-standard compliance requirements and internal corporate compliance standards.
SolarWinds Security Event Manager (SEM) makes it easier to meet network security monitoring, log management, and general compliance requirements imposed by auditing authorities. SEM has an integrated reporting capability that makes it simple to generate unified compliance reports and graphical summaries to demonstrate IT compliance. SEM’s report templates are ready for out-of-the-box use, allowing for the quick generation of compliance reports. Users can customize reports to fit specific internal or external compliance requirements.
The reports generated by SEM convert data into information to help with troubleshooting and identifying network problems. SEM features over 200 standard and industry-specific reports to help businesses make informed decisions about their network security and make it easy to follow compliance requirements. SEM contains reports for compliance regulations such as PCI DSS, GLBA, SOX, NERC CIP, and HIPAA, to name a few.
As a compliance management software, SEM features multiple types of reports and ways to generate them, so the software can fit an organization’s specific needs. Standard reports capture specific event data during a particular period. Industry reports are specifically designed for supporting the compliance and auditing needs of certain industries, such as financial services or healthcare, and for the accountability requirements of large companies. Users can also create custom reports for specific compliance needs. Users can then add their most-used standard, industry, and custom reports to a favorites list, making it easy to access the reports they need. SEM also features the Select Expert tool, which allows users to create smaller, more focused reports based on larger text-based reports.
SEM reports can be run on-demand or scheduled to run later. Scheduling automatic reports is useful for consistently monitoring specific IT compliance management protocols, while the ability to create reports immediately following an incident makes it simple to address new and unforeseen lapses in compliance.
