PowerTech has announced the release of Compliance Monitor 3, the newest version of its security auditing solution. Compliance Monitor is a premier IBM i audit solution providing consolidated reporting across systems and partitions, compliance scorecards, powerful filtering, and forensic analysis of audit journal events.

Compliance Monitor 3 brings batch scheduling and automated report distribution to IBM i security auditing. It allows users to schedule their security audit reports to run at regular times and distribute them to specified recipients automatically. Batch scheduling gives users the option to run audit reports at off-peak hours to avoid interfering with production systems. Plus, automated audit report distribution ensures managers have the reports they want to see when they arrive at work.

Compliance Monitor 3 also brings users a number of valuable features, including:

• A powerful browser-based interface that makes it easy to specify report requirements and display the collected information.
• Several new reports, including a predefined report category designed to help gaming organizations comply with Nevada’s Minimum Internal Control Standards (MICS). Other new reports cover security system values added in IBM i 6.1 and 7.1, native and IFS object reports, and authority adoption information.
• An “intelligent” pre-checker utility that can verify the server meets the requirements for installation.
• An automated install process so users can start auditing their system sooner.
