GFI Software, an international developer of network security, content security and messaging software based in Malta, announced the release of a new version of GFI EventsManager.
Version 8 allows administrators to monitor an extensive range of hardware devices from over 20 of the world's largest manufacturers and report on the health and operational status of each device as well as track staff activity within the company, what they do on their PC, which files are accessed and much more.
It also ships with full support for Windows Server 2008 and Vista events, SNMP traps generated by heterogeneous network sources and SQL Server Audits. In the meantime EventsManager has also achieved the prestigious "Certified for Microsoft's Windows Server 2008" status. This certification comprises approximately 100 test cases that independently confirm an application's compliance with best practices for compatibility, security, reliability, and availability, on the new platform. The certification identifies top-performing technologies that are ready to deploy in mission-critical environments.
GFI EventsManager 8 is a solution that covers two main functions: Events monitoring and events management and archiving. The first function helps administrators to monitor the health and security of the entire network and boost uptime, while the management and archiving function allows the administrator to centralise events from multiple sources in various formats in such a way that makes it easier to identify deficiencies, provide detailed audit trails and meet various compliance regulations. The availability of data that is easily searchable and analysed helps forensic investigations by reducing the complexity of the volume of events logs as well as the cost of, and the time required to analyse the data.
The software can also be installed on, and collect events from Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008. Although these new platforms use a different log format, GFI EventsManager presents events from various operating systems in the same manner, thus allowing the user to get used to a common structure, irrespective of the platform being monitored.
