The availability of NVMonitor v6.1 was announced by NetVision. For commonly-used platforms, NVMonitor integrates NetVision's proven, real-time event analysis for directories and file systems into one solution. IT managers are provided by NVMonitor with a continuous, holistic audit of access controls across numerous platforms.

For IT to enhance business productivity, increased network access rights are a key enabler. But security best practices and numerous regulations dictate that IT have strong controls in place and be able to prove their effectiveness. For security or compliance, NVMonitor provides the ability to make these proofs on a moment-by-moment basis as events occur.

"A goal of ours, is to automate the collection of proofs for IT - particularly if the answers span multiple platforms. Proofs of controls should also be apparent as events occur, not based on a later analysis of archived data", says David Rowe, NetVision president.

David Nielsen of Utah Valley State College adds: "It's great to be able to have a consistent audit approach across multiple platforms". "NVMonitor gives us flexibility in managing across platforms and also a single place to find out what's going on in our environment."

NVMonitor 6.1 is a cost-effective solution that simplifies the process of answering access control audit questions. It works in real time to analyze events relative to company-specific controls. Without requiring a long, complex integration, the result is a fast, easy-to-implement solution that provides relevant audit information.

"When discussing IT audit, technology providers try to provide IT with 'what you need to know'. The emphasis is typically on the 'need-to-know'; how much data can be gathered. NetVision puts the emphasis on the 'you'. You don't want to deal with mountains of data that someone might need to know in order to get what you do need to know", explains, Matt Flynn, NetVision.
