Overview
McAfee Configuration Control automates and enforces compliance configurations for critical servers, saving time and money on audit activity by blocking unauthorized changes. Designed with a flexible and easy-to-use interface, Configuration Control delivers change alerts with configuration and policy enforcement, and helps you quickly address or create your own IT compliance standards — with no expertise required.
Audit, control, and enforce — Easily maintain continuous compliance through our methodical three-step approach. Refine and automate IT audit processes, control changes in your environment by monitoring system integrity, and enforce policies to stop unauthorized changes and keep your enterprise compliant.
Comprehensive change prevention — Stop unwanted or unauthorized changes. McAfee’s unique change policy enforcement allows changes by predetermined time window, trusted source, or approved work ticket. Trusted changes can be automatically allowed; those that are outside of the authorized change profile are denied.
Real-time visibility and alerts to change events — Get alerts to changes occurring in the environment. Using profiles, Configuration Control gives you the power to define the most critical components, files, or objects within a server to monitor.
Lowered audit costs — Configuration Control dramatically cuts audit preparation time, while eliminating the hidden costs of ad hoc and unwanted change.
