PCI Compliance

If your company must maintain and verify compliance with the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS), you are well aware of the mandate’s comprehensive nature. And you need to sustain overall good governance of your IT environment not only during periodic audits and assessments, but each and every day.

Make Longitude® Event Log and Syslog monitoring software part of your proactive best practices approach to PCI DSS - one that promotes the availability and performance of your IT environment while helping you automate the daunting process of daily compliance monitoring. Longitude conforms to the PCI DSS principles of vulnerability management, strong access control measures, regularly monitoring and testing networks, and maintaining an information security policy.

For example, use Longitude to perform the event log monitoring specified by PCI DSS Requirement 10. Longitude automates the daily monitoring required with comprehensive WindowsEventLog and Syslog solutions that collect and centralize event log records for reporting, display, and alerting. Event log records can be consolidated and viewed within the Longitude real-time Event Monitor and used to automatically trigger Longitude actions: including Email, Text Message, SNMP Trap, or Execute a corrective OS command.

To reduce event volume and increase situational awareness, leverage Event Correlation in Longitude to detect patterns in audit events - such as multiple logon failures followed by successful logons, or logon failures from unexpected sources - or combinations of events and data from other sources.

Role-based security also ensures Longitude users see only those specific monitoring tasks and related information they are pre-authorized to view.

About Longitude

With Longitude you get the best of both worlds – agentless software that’s not only affordable and easy to install and use, but gives you the kind of comprehensive application and network performance monitoring that you’d expect from high end agent-based software. Longitude monitors hundreds of vital performance metrics, alerts you to problems, takes any corrective actions you specify, and generates reports and graphs that demonstrate just how well your operating systems, databases, web servers, messaging, and J2EE applications are performing. Best of all, everything is presented in dashboard views that let you drill down to investigate problems and find answers fast.

In keeping with its robust functionality, Heroix Longitude scales with ease. It’s equally adept at monitoring a few servers and databases or many. And unlike some other agentless solutions, Longitude is totally self-contained with no prerequisites for layered software. You won’t have to install extra software, nor will you get stung by unexpected costs such as additional database, report writer, and runtime license fees. In most cases, Longitude can be deployed in about 15 minutes!
