Control Change Management

Many shops struggle with software and OS change management.

S3 Control: Adding Control to Change Management

Most IT organizations today recognize the centrality of change to their operational effectiveness. Many have invested in process automation tools such as a Change Management system or a Service Desk. Yet, a gap persists between actual change activity and the documented Change Management process. This change control gap results in manual activity by IT departments to control and minimize the costs of change.

Solidcore S3 Control bridges this gap by adding control to change management. This is accomplished by providing customers with realtime visibility of changes being made, accountability to validate change activity and technology-based enforcement of change policy. Solidcore S3 Control is easily configurable to increase the availability of IT services, accelerate the successful implementation of ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library) projects, and reduce the cost of compliance initiatives such as Sarbanes-Oxley or PCI.


Tripwire Enterprise enables configuration auditing and control by detecting all change across the IT infrastructure, automatically correlating change with multiple acceptance criteria and generating actionable change reports. Tripwire Enterprise detects and analyzes changes to millions of elements (e.g. files, directories, registry settings, directory server objects, and configuration files) on servers, databases, network devices, desktops and directory servers. It improves configuration control by alerting you of any change and enabling quick remediation.

Tripwire Enterprise provides complete control of virtual and physical IT configurations, combining configuration assessment with change auditing in a single software solution for enterprise configuration control.

Configuration assessment policies shipped with Tripwire Enterprise proactively assess and validate IT configurations against internal policies, compliance standards and security best practices, reporting on out-of-policy settings and providing detailed remediation guidance.

Once IT gets configurations into a known, good state, Tripwire's proven change auditing helps them maintain it, detecting and alerting IT to improper change. And rich reporting provides immediate visual feedback on IT infrastructure health, supports drilldown to change details, assists in remediation efforts and provides evidence for an audit.

Based on the QAUDJRN system journal, Change Tracker provides a robust and comprehensive solution that cannot be bypassed. Working in real-time, it can automatically record every revision and collect all information relevant to the modifications made, including object attributes, source code, changes to file structures and more!
