Customers Can Now Integrate Compliance
Monitoring Into Their Evolving DevOps Process
Symantec Corp. (NASDAQ:SYMC), the global leader in
cybersecurity, today announced the next version of Symantec Control
Compliance Suite, the enterprise-class IT governance, risk and
compliance solution. Symantec Control Compliance Suite delivers new
features to give IT and Security Operations teams the ability to
implement agile business processes while remaining in compliance
with regulations. As more and more companies adopt agile practices
to keep up with the fast pace of innovation and change, agile
compliance is a critical part of the development process.
Symantec Control Compliance Suite (CCS) is a compliance and
security assessment solution that provides users with the ability
to run security and compliance assessments on their environment
(public, private, and physical) across servers, endpoints, and
critical network infrastructure. Using Symantec CCS, organizations
can report on their compliance posture against industry best
practices and key mandates like Payment Card Industry,
International Organization for Standardization, National Institute
of Standards and Technology, and many others.
“The latest version of Symantec CCS enables enterprises all over
the world to change the game from compliance as a cost to
compliance as a differentiator and an enabler to an Agile
Enterprise,” said Vishal Gupta, VP of Management and Compliance,
Symantec. “Innovative capabilities like scripting and Command Line
Interface automation will enable our customers and partners to open
and extend the CCS platform both for their security and operational
needs.”
With the new Symantec Control Compliance Suite, companies can
adopt agile compliance methodologies into their day to day
operations to increase confidence in their provisioning and
remediation process. Key new capabilities include:
- Command Line Interface option enables
users to drive micro compliance assessment jobs. This new feature
allows organizations to automatically run scans in CCS whenever
necessary, generate results and ensure that the right fix to a
flagged issue or misconfiguration was implemented.
- Custom scripting enables customers to
create customized standards and benchmarks that best fit their
organization's existing supported platforms and extend it to new
non-supported platforms.
- Support for assessing secure
configuration of Cisco routers and switches for added network layer
scan capabilities.
- Integration with CyberArk Application
Identity Manager simplifies credential management within CCS for
authenticated scans.
Symantec Partner Response
Symantec industry partners share the benefits of CCS:
“With the introduction of custom scripting in Symantec CCS,
customers that have already invested in the personnel and process
to create and maintain a robust script library for data collection
can now leverage that investment directly in CCS. Conversely,
customers who do not have the in-house expertise to develop and
maintain data collection scripts or are still using manual
processes for data collection can still utilize the built-in
technical check builder that has always been a core feature of the
CCS Suite. Realistically, most companies will probably choose a
hybrid strategy using both scripts and CCS built technical checks
to varying degrees, but the key is that Symantec has now given the
customer the choice of how they want to collect their configuration
and compliance data.”-Jason Eberhardt, Vice President,
Conventus
“We are excited about this significant step forward in the
Symantec Control Compliance Suite, which is poised to allow both
partners and customers to deliver more value, better service and a
greater level of customization. At Novacoast, we are eager for this
release and believe it will provide a better, more cohesive
experience for CCS users.”-Adam Gray, CTO, Novacoast Inc.
Availability
Symantec Control Compliance Suite is now available worldwide.
