IT Infrastructure Auditing
with System Center Operations Manager (SCOM)

Change auditing is a critical process in sustaining secure IT infrastructure and maintaining compliance. Unauthorized, unwanted, and malicious changes in IT infrastructure can have tremendous impact on business continuity and predictability. Without effective and convenient tracking and ongoing review of changes in systems and applications there is a risk for organizations to lose control of security.

NetWrix SCOM Management Pack for Change Reporter Suite is an integrated solution for automated auditing of the IT infrastructure. This SCOM management pack captures all changes made to Active Directory, Group Policy and Microsoft Exchange, and feeds the audit data to Microsoft System Center Operations Manager, which generates appropriate reports and alerts.

For example, the product can help you audit:

• security group membership, delegation of rights, AD schema changes, deletion of organization units and creation of new users and computers,
• changes in mailbox permissions, Exchange server settings and permissions, non-owner mailbox access,
• newly created or deleted GPOs, changes in GPO links, changes in GPO settings (e.g. "someone changed password history depth from 20 to 1") etc.

Support for other platforms, like file servers and appliances, virtual machines (VMware and System Center Virtual Machine Manager), Windows services, network devices, SQL Servers and SharePoint is coming soon and will be available for existing customers of SCOM Management Pack for Change Reporter Suite as a free upgrade.

Powered by AuditAssurance™ technology, the SCOM Management Pack for Change Reporter Suite streamlines change auditing and compliance to HIPAA, SOX, PCI, GLBA, FISMA and many other regulations by providing fully automated auditing of who changed what, when, and where in the IT infrastructure, ensuring an easy-to-use solution that significantly improves infrastructure visibility and internal security.
