Tripwire Adds “Cybercrime Controls Library” to Enterprise Solution

Tripwire, a provider of IT Security and compliance solutions that was recently acquired by private equity firm Thoma Bravo, has released a library of pre-selected “Cybercrime controls” for the company’s Tripwire Enterprise solution that combines key configuration hardening standards with a collection of breach detection rules into an easy-to-install package for Windows servers.

A free package for new or existing Tripwire Enterprise customers, the Tripwire Cybercrime Controls Library helps organizations proactively protect their sensitive data, and empowers IT security departments with a set of baseline security rules and controls designed for easy, rapid implementation to help detect and protect against security threats.

The Tripwire Cybercrime Controls Library helps organizations address a number of security related challenges including, limited staff resources, lack of time, and the difficulty in understanding what’s required to provide end-to-end enterprise security. Brining immediate intelligence to Tripwire Enterprise, the Cybercrime Controls Library combines hand-selected configuration assessment tests with a set of tailor-made change detection rules to help security administrators achieve base level of integrity and security across Windows servers with a minimum time investment and helping to provide quick detection of suspicious, malicious or unusual behavior.

“We selected these specific Cybercrime Controls so security professionals could cover as many bases as possible with as little effort as possible, and begin with a short list of foundation security controls,” said Dwayne Melançon, VP of Products for Tripwire. “With this package in hand our customers can leverage our expertise and ensure they can get critical system hardening without becoming rule-creation experts themselves.”

The pre-selected set of data breach detection rules in Tripwire Cybercrime Controls Library provide timely and simple monitoring for basic attack vectors, focusing on local firewall configuration, scheduled tasks, listening ports, system services and startup tasks. The companion configuration hardening standards in the library come from Center for Internet Security standards and assets security protocol versions, malicious code detection and prevention, attack surface reduction, disable system components and services, maintenance and patches and audit trail protection.

The Tripwire Cybercrime Controls Library is now available with the purchase of Tripwire Enterprise, or to current users on an active support plan, at no additional cost. Tripwire says it will provide ongoing updates to the library.
