PITTSBURGH, Feb. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- TrueBaseline Corporation has acquired
StatePointPlus Systems Integrity Controller technology and assets from
Westinghouse Electric Company. TrueBaseline's executive officers, comprised
of the developers of the software suite, will introduce StatePointPlus Version
3.2.2 at FOSE April 5-7, 2005 at the Washington Convention Center Booth 1429.
StatePointPlus is a powerful tool that continuously demonstrates best-of-
breed configuration technology that allows a company to remotely monitor and
repair the state of any computer system across the enterprise relative to its
desired baseline from a central location.
"This acquisition allows us to focus solely on enhancing the software
suite so that it continues to provide solutions for system configuration
control challenges," said TrueBaseline President & CEO Tom Camden.
"TrueBaseline has assembled a team of some of the best technical, service and
support personnel available, dedicated solely to serving the integrity control
needs of a growing number of companies and organizations in a wide spectrum of
industries requiring uninterrupted mission-critical operations, production and
regulatory compliance," Camden said.
At FOSE, TrueBaseline will introduce Version 3.2.2 of StatePointPlus,
which provides administrators improved auditable tool, providing enhanced
enterprise applications to accommodate large, highly distributed enterprises,
including:
- The ability to discover all the computers in the network and distribute
the StatePointPlus agents and monitoring/control strategy from a remote
central console at a rate of six seconds per computer on a moderate
speed network
- The ability to generate comprehensive real time enterprise-wide reports
on key enterprise configuration dynamics with the ability to take
control and corrective actions from that screen.
- The ability to display all the running processes on the system, version
information for installed software and MAC addresses on every computer
throughout the enterprise.
- Significantly reduced resource utilization to an almost undetectable
level, making monitoring and control scans virtually transparent to
each user.
StatePointPlus is a powerful solution for the Enterprise Architecture (EA)
model, which controls the underpinning of an enterprise. As an ICM tool, the
software can redefine the capabilities and expectations of the IT support
component with the expectation of exercising effective configuration control.
Defining and effectively managing the IT support service component is a
leading indicator that the business model initiative is on firm ground.
StatePointPlus reduces operational/IT support costs and mitigates business
risks, while controlling the configuration of each computer in the enterprise
to computer-specific baselines or desired states, thereby ensuring
uninterrupted operations, production and security. StatePointPlus detects and
rectifies tiny incremental changes that creep into configurations over time.
By managing computers at this level, IT organizations can cut support costs
and production losses while simultaneously speeding change to strategically
needed technologies.
"IT staffs are challenged to effectively monitor, control and manage
highly distributed systems operating in mission critical environments," said
Camden. "Unauthorized configuration changes have shut systems down for days.
Growing system diversity and complexity have increased security risks and
reduced profitability. StatePointPlus offers a proactive IT strategy that
breaks through the cycle of crisis-driven, reactive management of computers."
The market for StatePointPlus has increased dramatically in recent months
as attention has been directed as never before to systems control and security
across a wide variety of industries and applications.
StatePointPlus Technical Description
StatePointPlus is an agent-based, multi-platform enterprise application
that remotely monitors and controls an enterprise's computers (servers and
desktops) on a continuous basis from a remote, central location. The software
suite:
- Serves as a Host-based Intrusion Detection System (IDS) by continuously
detecting and eliminating undesired or malicious activity by:
-- Monitoring and controlling the integrity of file system, registry
system, services, processes, installed applications, NIC
configuration.
-- Notifying the administrator of events via email, pager, urgent
messages to the remote console, alarm or by launching user-specified
scripts.
- Automatically schedules and archives the systems' activity from the
nodes to a central archive and analyzes system trends for building
stronger monitoring and control strategies.
- Provides synchronized console capability for large enterprises that
have more than one StatePointPlus strategy console.
- Proves quality for audit purposes by demonstrating regulatory
compliance.
- Provides the ability to snapshot the system and compare that snapshot
to the current system and report any changes that occurred during that
time frame.
- Provides the ability to layer the configuration strategy by
functionality for easy diagnosis.
Availability
StatePointPlus 3.2.2 release is currently available for Windows 2000, NT,
XP and UNIX environments.
