BindView experts will be on-hand at Booth 226 to discuss and demonstrate its comprehensive IT security compliance capabilities to meet the growing number of audit requirements for multi-regulatory environments. BindView's new free Compliance Assessment Tool (BVCAT) provides a snapshot compliance evaluation by combining a question-based survey about internal policies with automated assessments of technical configuration criteria.

"BindView helps organizations simplify these processes with a portfolio of solutions that combine industry best practices and award-winning technology for meeting audit requirements, which we'll showcase during the Gartner Symposium ITxpo."
