PC Based Auditing Tool for OpenVMS Systems

PointAudit is a non-intrusive PC-based tool that allows users to quickly and easily assess the security of their OpenVMS environment. By looking at file security, system settings and user profiles, as well as installed products and patches, PointAudit enables users to determine if their OpenVMS security settings are in compliance with defined OpenVMS security policies or industry best practices.

Why PointAudit?

PointAudit provides flexibility, simplification and automation to OpenVMS security administration. Given the number of files, images, processes and users in a typical OpenVMS environment, a desirable level of security is difficult to sustain without automation. PointAudit allows administrators to protect OpenVMS systems using industry best practices endorsed by HP OpenVMS Engineering all while saving time and resources.

Frequently examining or “auditing” OpenVMS systems is the most obvious, proactive action that a company can take to effectively minimize their risk of experiencing a security breach. However, keeping up with the latest configuration best practices is a complex and time consuming task. PointSecure is a certified HP Partner and works closely with HP OpenVMS Engineering to constantly update the PointAudit tool to reflect industry standard best practices.
