The PointAudit tool is non-invasive and provides users with the ability to quickly and easily identify and report on vulnerabilities using industry best practices endorsed by HP. PointSecure?s PointAudit software allows users to quickly and easily assess the security of their OpenVMS environment from a PC console, without having to install any software on the OpenVMS host machine. By looking at file security, system settings and user profiles, PointAudit enables users to determine if their OpenVMS security settings are set correctly and whether or not security policies are being enforced. PointAudit is comprised of the following functional modules: Configuration Manager is used to configure and administer security preferences, schedule and perform security tests, process and view security reports as well as administer users and servers. Audit Manager is used to performing security tests, process and view security reports, as well as make modifications to accounts, identifiers and file settings. Database Manager enables functionality for comparing multiple database files to baseline settings or comparing database files from different points in time to pinpoint differences. All of these modules are requirements derived from the NIST 800-53A controls which need to be verified on a monthly basis. The software license covers all of these features of the software.
