The day-to-day challenges faced by businesses take constant attention from internal resources. Those resources can be overburdened when new internal and external demands command attention as well. OpenVMS system administrators are faced with two key security concerns brought on by such new demands. The first is that in today’s business environment, managing a system requires access to a number of participants—programmers, operators, third-party consultants and vendors—and this level of access increases the security risk to the system. The second concern is how to comply with new laws (e.g., Sarbanes-Oxley, Graham-Leech-Bliley, etc.), industry-wide pressures and more strict auditing demands that are forcing companies to examine how they develop and adhere to security policies and keep customer data private. With the HP OpenVMS System Security Audit service, businesses can choose the level of support they need to assess and handle their security concerns by partnering with experienced HP consultants who can efficiently and expertly accomplish the defined tasks. Internal IT resources can concentrate on day-to-day activities and receive the precise knowledge they need to maintain security at a level that today’s environment demands. Quickly assess system security. Expert and non–expert OpenVMS administrators can benefit by dramatically reducing the time and effort required to analyze, maintain and report on security settings and/or policies of their OpenVMS system. By relying on HP’s experience and proven implementation methodology in this area, businesses can have the confidence that system security issues have been analyzed against industry security practices and will receive documented recommendations for putting an effective security management system in place. The goal of the HP OpenVMS System Security Audit service is to provide customers with: • A security audit to assess OpenVMS system security • A complete report that identifies vulnerabilities and suggests actions to correct exposures • A comprehensive understanding of their OpenVMS security settings • A solution for continued security management and system auditing By employing industry practices, security management becomes an asset rather than a threat and frees up valuable internal resources to focus attention on other business-critical initiatives.
