Maintaining integrity is key to managing a secure computing environment. Modifications to system configuration or valuable data -- either accidentally or intentionally -- may lead to downtime, reduced revenue, loss of intellectual property or damaged customer relations. Detecting such changes quickly enables fast response and recovery with minimal impact to system and business operations.

Sun and Tripwire Inc., a provider of data and networking integrity solutions, work together to bring customers the best data and networking integrity solutions for the SolarisTM Operating Environment (Solaris OE).

The Common Security Exploit and Vulnerability Matrix Poster, created by Tripwire's CTO Gene Kim and available free from Tripwire, outlines common methods used to attack and penetrate networked systems. It is a valuable resource that visually depicts many common vulnerabilities often exploited by attackers. The poster also serves as a reminder that managing computer and network security requires effective integrity assurance solutions.

In order to provide customers with the ability to test Tripwire solutions in their own environments, Tripwire has made evaluation copies of Tripwire for Servers and Tripwire Manager for the Solaris OE available for free download.

Tripwire solutions enable network and security professionals to monitor, quickly detect and recover from compromises to data or infrastructure integrity. With robust monitoring, detection and recovery capabilities, Tripwire solutions enable full trust in mission-critical Solaris OE systems while at the same time allowing systems to be open enough to drive business forward.

• Tripwire for Servers assures the integrity of data on your servers by notifying administrators if, when and how files have changed. The software alerts you to all changes -- whether they originate inside or outside the company -- intentional or accidental. Tripwire for Servers was awarded SunToneSM Certification, a "seal of approval" confirming that Tripwire's software meets or exceeds the stringent scalability, availability, reliability and performance criteria necessary for quality deployment of Web-based Services.

• Tripwire Manager is a fully functional, cross-platform management console that enables system and security professionals to easily manage up to 2,500 Tripwire for Servers installations across the network. Centralized policy management reduces the time to deploy new policies to minutes, eliminating the hours, even days, required to manually configure or upgrade individual systems.

• Tripwire for Routers protects an organization's network infrastructure by assuring the integrity of network router configuration. It works with Cisco devices utilizing IOS, monitors and audits router startup and running configuration files, pinpoints changes, and if desired, manually or automatically restores routers to a known and trusted state. Tripwire for Routers 1.0 runs exclusively on the Solaris OE (SPARCR Platform Edition).

• Tripwire Policy File Resource Center, an interactive online community where Tripwire users can download tutorial white papers, access a Web-based Policy Tool to create policy files for specific configurations and applications, and interact with other users of Tripwire and Solaris OE software via an online forum.
