Enabling Technologies

• Server and Application Compliance - Using solutions such as HP Server Automation, we are able to deploy agents to your server infrastructure and apply Policies to those servers to ensure a server meets the requirements of a pre-defined "gold standard".  On a regular basis we can audit those servers with the push of a button to receive a detailed analysis of the compliance of those servers and even the business applications that run on them.   If a server is found out of compliance, you may very easily "remediate" that server to apply the required configurations, patches or software to ensure the "gold standard" is maintained.  In addition, HP offers an HP Business Service Automation Essentials Security and Compliance Subsription Service which includes alerts come from vendor bulletins and from agencies like the National Vulnerability Database, PCI Security Standards Council and the Center for Internet Security. Packaged into actionable audit or compliance policies, they enable you to quickly detect and remediate vulnerabilities, reducing windows of risk.
• Network Compliance - Using solutions such as HP Network Automation, you can be assured that your network devices follow consistent standards in the way they are configured and ensure compliance with federal and local regulations.  Also leveraging the HP Business Service Automation Essentials Security and Compliance Subsription Service, HP Network Automation regularly downloads Policy updates from HP and allows you to selectively apply them to your network devices.
