February 7, 2006: Less than a month after finalising its purchase of compliance software developer BindView, Symantec has announced the release of its new security policy compliance software, Policy Manager 3.0.
Aiming for a March release, Symantec claim that Policy Manager 3.0 eases policy creation, policy mapping and proof of compliance while automating document lifecycle management. It includes out-of-the-box integration with Symantec Compliance Manager 3.0, which, Symantec says, helps businesses measure, implement and maintain compliance with security configuration standards.
"Large organizations often have many regulations with which they must demonstrate compliance," said Eric Ogren, security analyst at the Enterprise Strategy Group. "Security teams must match alerts of policy violations with specific regulatory clauses and make recommendations to efficiently bring the enterprise back into compliance.”
The company also says that the software reduces duplicate work by assessing compliance via one set of controls, and through its ability to collect information from multiple products.
