In order to comply with government and industry regulations, such as Sarbanes-Oxley, Gramm-Leach-Bliley, and COBIT, enterprises have to constantly detect, validate, and report unauthorized change and out-of-compliance actions on their IT infrastructure. The Tivoli Compliance Insight Manager solution allows organizations to improve the security of their information systems by capturing comprehensive log data, correlating this data through sophisticated log interpretation and normalization, and communicating results through a dashboard and a full set of audit and compliance reporting. We discuss the business context of security audit and compliance software for organizations, and we show a typical deployment within a business scenario. This IBM Redbooks publication is a valuable resource for security officers, administrators, and architects who wish to understand and deploy a centralized security audit and compliance solution.
